Invisible Connection

avatar

Some three years ago, when I was on another blogging platform, I took part in a blogging marathon. Each racer had a coach to guide him/her about posting and commenting. At the end of the day (which was 1 pm my time) the racer had to report his/her coach about all the work done in the day. It was a three week event. Each week had its own scoring board and the list of winners. The week began from Monday and ended on Friday.

It was the last day for the week two. I had a very poor sleep at the night. I hardly slept for two hours; and even in those two hours, I must have awakened more than 20 times. “I am in the Marathon; I have to perform better than before; this is the last day of the week; I will have time to take rest after the day is over,” these thoughts were going on in my mind. I woke up at 3 a.m. and started working. Before 5 o’clock I had completed my write-up. Everything was running smoothly. I did some commenting. I was feeling tired and wanted to sleep but I couldn’t because I had to publish my post. Around 7:30 a.m., I found my coach online. I shared the write up with her. She helped me edit my post. I received her last message at 7:59 am. At 8 o’clock, I lost my internet connection.

I tried everything I could do to bring the connection back but it was of no use. I kept waiting for the signals to come back. They didn’t. I wanted to connect with my coach. I wanted to tell her, “I am here. Give me your instructions and feedback”.

I didn’t want to lose the points in the marathon for which I had worked so hard. All my desires and efforts had become meaningless just because of not having those invisible signals that had connected me to everything of this marathon.

While feeling anxious to reconnect to the race, some thoughts emerged in my heart, “The marathon continued at its place; I was at mine; my coach was at hers. If something was lost, it was only an invisible connection.” The loss of the connection resulted in a major loss for me.

Life is all about an invisible connection- the connection between body and soul. As long as this connection retains, everything in the world is meaningful. The race of life goes on; the body is called alive.

As soon as the connection breaks, everything remains at its place, but the race of life for which we are so worried will lose its meaning. The future is lost. If something is left, these are the actions we have already done.

How often it happens that we waste our time in useless things. How often it happens that we do not feel the happiness of the present. How often it happens that we keep on putting us in a race without looking the beauty around us. We are so much occupied with unseen that we forget to be thankful for the seen. Shouldn’t we be grateful and appreciative of our present life before the invisible connection breaks?

Indeed life keeps getting overwhelming with its various activities and it keeps becoming a struggle to keeps one's mind in sanity. I've once been in a situation like yours and I totally felt lost and like a failure even but in the end I just tried encouraging myself because non of all these really worth losing ourselves for, what matters is if our creator is pleased with us.

The easiest way to start connected and not feel invisible is to be intentional about being visible.

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful entry with us, it was indeed a great read.

Well said! We need to make conscious efforts to make our God pleased with us. So that when one connection would break, another would be built.

Thanks for stopping by

We really be grateful for the present. Your post reminded me of a very thoughtful yet strategic saying,"yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift and that's why we call it 'the present '"

When the thought of "this is marathon" and "I should keep going" went through your mind, I thought that's not the way to go about it. Having a good rest is part of a Marathon too, Y'know?

I lost my internet connection.

Haha, I know how this feels. Ouch.~ !LOLZ

I like how you used "invisible signals" for the theme, and how you linked it with life in general. Sometimes you feel the most alive when you're working for something else, something bigger. Those of us who think about things more, are the most depressed.

Those of us who think about things more, are the most depressed.

True, can't argue with that.

Wow! I enjoyed this read and how you linked your experience to this inspiring message. The truth is life will bring different uncertainties to us which makes us feel overwhelmed and would want to tear us down. We can choose to focus on what we are seeing around us than getting worried over things that are invincible. While in the process of losing focus, we might make God displease for our actions because we aren´t being grateful.

Your words have great wisdom.

Ungratefulness becomes the reason for bringing many other negative consequences in our lives

What a thought-provoking reflection on the importance of connections in our lives! It brings back memories of the Coach-Racer Marathon. 😅 It was an exciting initiative and I love how you related it to the human experience.

The nature of life is fleeting. Sometimes we get it wrong and pursue meaningless things. I agree it's important we appreciate our lives and make every moment count. I hope you are doing okay. 😊 !LADY

I remember that race, I was a coach in it :) ...

And yes, I know what it's like to lose Internet 🤣 It's frustrating 😂! The best thing to do is just write a post while you keep an eye out for its return...

You did your best :) Did the connection return in time?

Yeah, I remember you were a coach.
The net didn't return on time. It returned after the day was over.

The irony with me is that it is often difficult for me to write a post without internet. Strange but true

Why is it difficult to write without Internet? It's the perfect time :) ...

One reason is that I, at times, have lack of vocabulary / or problem in sentence structuring for which I need an online dictionary.

The other reason is a silly one. I just need to read first before starting my own write up. It is like a warm up

We all need online help with a post sometimes, but what I do is just write, then when my Internet is back I do the necessary research for that part, before making final edits.

I also keep some ebooks saved on my computer for offline reading. The same can be done with blog posts :)

That must’ve been so frustrating for you. You’re right, so many connections are invisible and we should be mindful of the present and the beauty around us.

Yup. Pretty frustrating.

You are right in saying that there are many things that are invisible. The irony is we only understand their existence when they are lost.
