The Birth

For all his life up till now, he has lived in absolute darkness. Always been surrounded by these walls. These walls with no doors, no windows, no cracks. And as time has passed, these walls seemed to have encroached upon him, eating up all the space inside. Suffocating him... for space... for freedom.... for life. 

In reality these walls have always existed. It is only now, when he has grown into the space, does he senses their presence. These walls, which are more of a shell; were built to provide a protective and nurturing environment for him. But as their purpose is now fulfilled, they must give way to life. He must now break them, in order to fulfill his destiny, to live. And it is now that he will learn his first lesson in life.

When the time comes, we all know what we are supposed to do, but do we do it? The only person standing in his way is that person himself. His time has come, and now he must break this shell. It has gotten extremely uncomfortable now; now when there is no space. I tell him, go on, this is what you are destined for; and he listens to me for the first time. He summons all his energy, and pushes with all what he has got. Nothing much happens for hours, but he keeps trying when finally a crack appears; for the first time in his life light appears in front of him. But he cannot see it, for his eyes are closed. He can only feel it. Now, encouraged he pushes harder and the crack widens a bit. Tired by all these efforts, he chooses to rest a while. And then pushes again, when he comes out of the shell. And it is now that rofina is born….
