Our Own Sistine Chappel

In this world of so much happening around every day many feel left out to the extent of becoming a recluse within themselves. And with passing of every day these people become more and more sensitive unless the state of reclusion is used for looking deeply inside themselves. Those who don't do the honest introspection run the risk of falling prey to their own sense of isolation.

It is important to realise that we as individuals are constantly exposed to myriads of responses both from within or without. They mould and shape continuously what is within us. We have our expectations and anxieties. And we have our fears. They could make us feel that nothing is finished and that the many years of our livesare just torn down miles of level ground with nothing worthwhile to show.

And this is our sistine chappel never finished and like Michaelangelo Buonarroti we end up saying to ourselves " If I was made for this from childhood given/ a prey for burning beauty to devour,/ I blame the mistress I was born to serve."

And that is the truth behind the colours of our very own Sistine Chapel. The mistress that we decide to serve in our reclusion decides what we make of ourselves.
