The Momma Clan

I opened the little box and as I did so, a faint music started to play, a tiny, little ballerina swirled and swirled to the rhythm of the melody it played. As it turned around it could see itself in the little mirror attached to the lid of the box. She seemed so full of life as she danced turning around so gently and light. I took out the small jewels that I had kept in the box but never wanted to close the lid of the box. As soon as the lid came down the music would gradually fade and the tiny little ballerina would bow as her performance would end once the box came to be closed.  It seemed her happiness and her freedom to enjoy what she wanted was in control of the lid. I opened the box again just to hear the music and see it dance again. I left it open for a while and swayed to the tune that was played. A musical box is what they call, which stores your valuables or something precious that you need to keep inside. But whenever I opened the box the music and the ballerina would grab my attention. Music and life seemed to be trapped in the box which would only come to life to help you smile when you opened it. Such is life. There is so much inside us that we hide. We wait for someone to help us open up and when we do we feel light and we happily dance to the music of life.

Every moment is trapped inside you, waiting for you to open up and feel free. Once you open you feel happy and this is called living life. What is precious will always be kept inside but what you need to bring out needs help. Sometimes the most valuable of things are hidden just because you do not open your lid. Be it views, be it wishes, be it love, be it passion or talent. What no one knows is what you are capable of. They judge you by their appearance not by what you are. So open the box and see the little ballerina come to life giving you a lesson that you need to understand to live life.

Have you ever wondered why all of us sometimes act childish or do things just to enjoy ourselves not bothered about what people think? It is when you open the little box inside you and the little ballerina comes out to dance and when she does so, you start enjoying life. So never close the lid, let the music flow. You have one life to live and very rarely does life give you a second chance. So when someone comes forward and asks you anything, about what you like or want, just open up.  You need to open the lid to let people see what a beautiful soul they have connected with. Once you do so the musical box will never close and there will be a rhythm in your life that you would enjoy.

I kept the box aside and let it be open for me to see myself in the little mirror inside. Every time I could grab the attention of the little ballerina, it would turn to tell me, ‘dance along, there is music which you need to hear. It is wonderful to be yourself even for some time. I have the lid to stop me but you are free to enjoy and live your life. There are more precious things within you that needs to come out.’
