A companion

 A Companion

Such a wonderful word it is! But it’s more beautiful when we experience or live it. I feel this word is as equivalent as LIFE. That means the ones who play this role are as important as LIFE.

Each stage of our life or for that matter any living being’s life is made beautiful by its presence. Who is it? 

A companion…

How to define it? 

A companion is the one who makes our life more beautiful, livable, meaningful, and exciting. It is the one who stands for you, takes care of you, gives you strength and becomes your support system. Or just be with you! 

At different stages of our life, we have different people, surroundings, things… aren’t they our companions then!!!!

A companion can be short term, long term, entire life or even after that….

A companion can be in any form, like humans, pets, plants, trees, gardens, surroundings etc.

I remember the plant which was in my small garden blooming with most beautiful and fragrant flowers. It started its journey from the seed. I have seen it growing from seed to sprout to little plant and now growing and growing …..

Whatever time we spent together, lived together made our best companionship.!! We shared a part of life, shared emotions, motivated each other. A true and cherishable  companionship! I guess a plant lover can understand!!! 

FAMILY suffice the meaning of a companion. If I say Family= companion, then it won’t be wrong. There can be some exceptions….!! I can understand. 

All those friends, classmates even teachers in our childhood days, school days, college days have given us best companionships. 

Can a person’s belonging be its own companion !!!! It’s a very different thought… but I feel our profession/ work occupies a large part of our life. 

As per our profession or work, some or other things are close to our heart, then automatically it becomes a companion. Right!!

A broad thought came to my mind, can a person be its self companion. Yah.. possible!

Those who are mentally, emotionally strong, stable, well connected and attached with self can be their self companions. Isn’t it!!

This is a wonderful companionship a person can have. Can we take a step towards this type of companionship!!

A few days ago when I was thinking to write on this, I realised the most important companion fortunately I have in my life is GURU. When GURU is there, everything will be fine. That’s the confidence I have. That’s the beauty of this word. It gives you unconditional love, support and strength. A GURU will never leave you alone, not in this life and never! That’s the best companionship one can have!!! 

Be blessed!

Happy living!
