EM ES & Beyond

Not even dreamed of the vastness of the deep blue ocean surrounded. A whale’s life is barricaded by a glass-shielded wall protected by heavy concrete. Her daily make-up is just for the moment. Moving only to the limit of the pool’s depth. Limited with the tiled mirrors in the bottom and four sides of it. Her only worry is the loss of glamour and fame if she is freed, not knowing the vastness of the ocean surrounded. Lacking the courage to  realize how potential a free world around may be .

Even if the free whales in the deep ocean knew the fading life of one among them inside a pool trapped by the walls, the victim on her own standards may opposed to it. Perhaps with her complete fear of the unknown in the world around her.

Knowing every potential, talent and speed of the whale, man carried her netted into the dry land  and conditioned to move inside the tank. She was badly injured by the attack. But she recovered slowly.

Now, it is only fear and uncertainty stopping her from exploring the real treasures and the vastness of the nature. Because, the moment she demonstrate any sign of fatigue and boredom, she will not be nurtured like a celebrity for millions of visitors. Her fate is at the mercy of money unless she finds her own way out.

It was not so long ago one of her most loved ones, been lifted into the deep ocean just because he had the tiring symptoms and failed to lure the interests of daily ticket holders. How cruel these humans are… when exploited the charm and beauty, they treat us like waste, she thought. Perhaps, they won’t even recognise if they see us again. Perhaps they will kill us for few more.

Then came the darkness after the sunset. Last visitor maybe gone. But no peace. For them, when dined outside the thick glass walls with colourful lights, we become seducers. Perhaps, the absence of decency and lack of innocence in men’s mind doesn’t allow them to be in peace without a foolish victim like myself. Maybe even men becomes the victims of their own men as well. When would they ever realise the creation of a miraculous universe just for them.

Seeing all the flashes the entire day and with those acrobatic jumps that brought cash to the drawers, she is no longer energetic to continue swimming to any length. Not too long before she felt in complete silence.

Then appeared a wise white whale, a bit unusual. Trapped just like her but not without courage and will to swim without borders. The only difference is the absence of fear to face the reality.

Amazingly she adopted quickly into the same water as I was trapped. Entertained not less visitors than I did for my entire life inside the aquarium as they called it. Thoughts ran through her mind.

Maybe her god given knowledge and wisdom to find a way even in the most terrifying moments in life. They say it is we who complicate our own life. A whale’s mind is as good as any others in her capacity to overcome fear and live every single minute freely.

Courage, clarity and confidence makes a difference. Perhaps, the white whale is a mentor and a practitioner by nature.

She knew every bit of the pool and the narrow tunnels linked to the ocean for fresh water. It is bit unusual but she kept moving ahead in a narrow path widening the gaps every single day ever since she was trapped.

Not an easy one. Seems like she knew where her furthest vision lies. Day after day she progressed. She got scratches on her back bleeding. Sometimes she suffer with acute pain but never gives up. Fighting on her course she moved into the depth. Into the heaven in a whale’s standards. The deep blue ocean.

She woke up with bright sunshine. So early they make attempts to play with her. “looks too old”, a man whispered outside the tunnelled tank. But that’s usual. Lately, she hear this every day. She is fat, tired and never like her youthful vibrant days.

Thought of the unusual dream in the early hours of the previous night. The white whale moved like a fish into the water. Eager to find out the tunnel, she kept moving with her uncertainty and fear into the narrow path that brings fresh water into the pool.

As she moved deeper, fresh water energised her to continue to the place where she belongs. She moved freely into the deep ocean but too old to explore any wonders in the deep dark ocean with abundant miracles.

Human are not as cruel as she thought. It was just her limiting believes and her own ignorance to understand the possibilities that kept her in a barricaded pool. They knew she was attacked to death on her youth. And later adopted into safe waters but they never seized her destiny. It was just her to be blamed for barricading her own destiny from living a rewarding life.

It’s never too late. She can still live the rest of her life wondering how pure and free a life in deep ocean can be. Nature is so balanced she thought. It has a fair share for every being that is present in it. Cast away the fear and explore the wonders. Or else it may be too late.
