Time stared back

Time goes on and on and we too continue mechanically with our lives, but sometimes time stops, just stops and stares you in the face and everything freezes, revelations floating in the spaces between atoms speak loud and clear and for once the drama of our own lives ceases to be,  today as I stepped out into my driveway this sight stopped everything, not the peafowl nor the fact that he was dancing but that he was dancing when he had no feathers to display! 

How we do so many things for display and would not do them without an 'audience' and this peafowl was dancing, feathers or not, he danced the handsomest dance and what a beautiful lesson, spectators or not, situations of our liking or not, the dance must be danced.
