I Start With A Dot...

"It's so easy to write on a small piece of torn paper but today when I have a large clear white paper, I'm thinking twice before making the first black dot. Every pen have to start with a dot to form an alphabet, and a group of alphabets stand together to form a word. But only a few dots develop into an alphabet that doesn't need to stand among the crowd to create a word, they may look simple, but without this one alphabet the sentence might have a different meaning! We tend to judge people by their physical look, but the real nature of a person is hidden under his skin. Most people gather in a group of the society, with an intention to bring a change, but they finally end up creating the same word that people who joined the society before them, had created. But far away, deep inside the dark house, lie this man, this single alphabet, who never interested to follow the flow decided to search for the light. People think he's incapable of growing, he is immature. He is not, those who never thought how clever he was, he made the first step before others did, by decided not to follow what they are doing. The first step that will destroy his physical being, but he's intention is strong enough and can never be blamed. He is strong enough like the salmon - hiding his intention by showing a weak personality.

The little salmon fish was born under the soft stone in the sweet river water. She grew up thinking why she was born in this place, there was nothing. Day and night she could only here the silence of this place, only the sound of water. She then decided to explore the other world. She had a strong belief that this magical world, full of love, full of adventure started where the river ended. And she left the little fresh corner under the shadow of the soft stone to explore the new world, all she could bring with her was the smell of that pure stone disturbed by the fresh water day and night. The little salmon reached the ocean and convinced herself that this place is better and she will never return back. Life turned into a mystery, desire broken, big waves, lack of knowledge, enemies everywhere, the river is too far away to go back alone...all she needs now after months of loneliness is to find a partner. This world is better to be dreamed of than to live, from a distance it looks beautiful, the closer we get it tempts us more but when we land in our dream city, we found the real history behind the scene. The salmon will become a mother now, she thought about the best place she can give birth to her babies, a quiet place where her mother chose for her, a place far away from dangers and this arrogant world. Then she realized why she was born under the shadow of that soft stone in the sweet fresh water. She can still feel the smell of the stone and hear the fresh water flowing, it brings an inner peace in her life. She takes a new decision, to go against the flow, the flow that her mother took before, the flow of other fishes, the flow of the strongest current. And today there's no bigger example of going against the flow like the Salmon. She faced the enemies, escape the fishermen, escape the sharks, the bigger fishes. She reaches the beginning of the river, she has to jump against the water, hurt herself face the biggest enemy, the mouth of the bears wide open. But full of emotions and intention to reach that stone, she escaped the hardest moment. She finally arrived at the same place, everything is still the same...smell the same, although the soft stone looks smaller when the little salmon has become an adult. Her lover is lost, somewhere the enemy had caught him. And here she decided to lay her eggs but tried hard enough to convince the precious soft stone under the shadow to explain to her babies later when she won't be here, that the world is a deception. All her dreams was shattered, she was living without inner peace, but here, this place is more than everything. This place is nothing compare to the world outside, but still you can find everything, you can find the one who wrote the first dot, the first precious soft stone of her life. The day she gave birth to her babies, the salmon left this world after a tiring journey bring with her, the experience of a journey in the world. Her body flowing over the surface of the water taking the direction of the ocean again but now she is flowing with the flow and no enemies are attracted to her - the fisherman is watching her body floating away, the bear cannot smell her anymore, the big fishes are deep under the water. Unfortunately, the precious soft stone under the shadow cannot speak, he never heard anybody, under it are born the new little salmon with big dreams - to explore the world. 

Here, with his hidden dream, this gentleman will make his way against the flow of the society, it won't be easy, but as long as he keep his intention alive and dream about his goal, he will certainly develop into an alphabet that can stand alone in a sentence and give it a proper meaning!"
