As it approaches..

I am about to hit a milestone of my life.

As I stand on the threshold of my life's milestone, I look back. I wish to stop to hold; to hold on to time, and not let go. It is not a new wish, but it definitely is stronger than before.

It is one of those rare moments, when I think that so many of them have passed. The moments have been so beautiful, so dear. When I cross the threshold to hit the milestone, I will be further away from these memorable moments. And they will seem faded in the canvas of my memory.

But I will be crossing the threshold to hit the milestone.

As I stand on the threshold of my life's milestone, I look around, I observe others and I see time that has passed. I see experience. I see knowledge. I see judgment. I see wisdom. And I see stories. Each story makes a point; it is unique and inspiring.

It is one of those rare moments, when I am elated to think that many more realizations are yet to happen in the moments to come; and the story is in progress.

And I will be crossing the threshold to hit the milestone. Thank you life. :)
