“Life to the lees “

“Life to the Lees..”

—-
For a very short period of time do we live on the earth, keeping pieces of memories to those who have life time touches and contacts with us. Many people compare life with a journey; a journey from nothingness to fulfilment, emptiness to the status of ‘full to the brim’.

Such a short period it is that only few of the sojourners of this earth may complain to have been availed, very few may repent to be on the earth! Such valuable is this life, such incomparable is every second of it.

Though most or all of us know that life is transient, short and the span is uncertain, yet only a handful of people may have been found to waste part of more than half of the life, which is nothing but a unparallel gift of the Creator.

If life is a journey, the traveller should never sit idle: rather they should increase its uses and utilizations at the maximum level.
Those who utilize life, make best use of it- can claim or proclaim to have enjoyed the essence of life to the fullest. Though the number of best people to avail the life’s unending gifts- is few, still those rare ones are examples to many, lights to many darkness, excuses and limitations.

On the contrary, those who are confused and mostly lazy cannot Enjoy even a portion of the vast and Wonderful gift of life.

We may cite a few words of the famous poet Lord Alfred Tennyson who said:
” I cannot rest from travel:
I will drink Life to the lees: ”’

Let our life be fulfilled and enjoyed to the fullest.
Let us make it more successful and most rewarding.
Let me conclude with few favorite words of Tennyson:
…”strong in will

To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”
