The other day a funny thing happened...
I was about to sleep when I remembered some email update I had promised to send...so I hurriedly pulled out my laptop from under the bed and started typing...too lazy to get up and walk the teeny tiny distance to switch on the light...
As I was typing, suddenly I saw a huge shadow across the keypad...I almost let out a tiny "knee-jerk" reaction shriek thinking some big insect had flown in through the window...and was hovering near the tube-light...I looked up...but the tube-light wasn't on...and I could still see that huge shadow on the keypad; but there was no sign of that apparent 'huge' insect anywhere in the room!
I stopped typing, hoping to hear some sound - a tiny flutter of wings or some other sound...but all I could see was a shadow prancing around the keyboard and irritating me...
It was then that I saw the teeny weeny fruit fly (yes, I googled the english name of the insect we call "चिल्ट" in marathi :P) right in front of the laptop light that illuminated my keyboard...:P
The light was making the small fruit fly look like a huge insect to me. And before I dared to look up and try to find the actual source, I imagined all sorts of huge insects flying around my bed...:-(
"Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow", said some Swedish proverb I had come across, and it fits, quite literally, to the case in point.
Sometimes, in the 'light' of fear, we see many small issues projected as big huge insurmountable problems - before we dare to look fear in the face and realize that those were just simple issues we are capable of easily dealing with!
All it needs is a shift of perspective...
A #'face-your-fear' moment...[O:)]
