VERSE ELEVEN: MY TRAINING
Jaunava: Now calm your mind and close your eyes. Breathe slowly, steadily. Never make haste and be patient.
Daina: um… Head priestess, why do I need to do this again?
I can’t help but suspiciously ask her what I am currently doing for. Can you blame me? She waste my whole year after all doing nothing but to entertain her. And I actually just do it like an idiot! What’s more, she just say “It’s to actually train your patience and will power! And didn’t your balance improve? Well, if it didn’t just blame your clumsiness in that.” Argh! Really! Can you believe it? For entertainment! Is my value just- THAT!? It’s making me cry just from remembering!
Jaunava: *smack* call me master! You are my disciple! My successor! Respect me! How many times do I have to tell you that? And don’t question me! *smack*
Daina: Ow- Don’t question? I don’t remember agreeing to be your successor! And I happen to heard from someone that it should be a voice lesson I am having! Not some kind of meditating under a water fall skit! Do you want me to remi-
Jaunava: I already told you the reason for that! And we will not be doing it like them. As I told you, you are my successor. So it’s natural your training is different.
Daina: Fine then! Just make sure it’s not some kind of farce! And the reason for me meditating is?
Jaunava: … just discover it yourself.
After saying that, Jaunava just walk out leaving me here grumbling. Sheesh, where is that kind looking woman from before? If only I know it is a trap… Still, I do what she’s making me do ‘cause if not, there’ll be hell of punishment to get. And I, just to remind you, am not a masochist. Well, who knows what this will meditating do. Perhaps, to gain insight or tranquility like those martial artist in my past?
It’s been a week already and I still have no improvement in my meditating. Well, I am a researcher in my past life, not a monk. I gain new knowledge through experimenting. And so far, I am still in the middle of brain storming. What am I supposed to discover?
Everything is distracting here. I can’t sit up well under the waterfall. It isn’t that tall but with my body, I can only last for about five minutes before I fall from my seat. No one can ever think well with that kind of situation. After I fall from the shallow surface, I will struggle hard to once again sit in my position to once again fall. It’s repetitive for the entire week that it almost exhaust all my energy for my next lesson with my father. It’s a good thing he is a healer. He can heal my fatigue in no time just to exhaust, once again, my strength mentally.
Daina: Argh! I had enough!
I shout after my fall for the nth time today. I hastily put myself in meditative position again, close my eyes, and began to use my best asset witch is my brain. C’mon! You’re the only one I can count on! I began to fall into deep thinking, completely disregarding my location and the kind of body I currently have. I ponder and ask myself a series of questions.
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
First, why am I here? To meditate and to train. Second, why do I meditate? For what purpose? To train my body. No, obviously not seeing that I still fall after five minutes. Or to seek truth. Hmmn, probably yes and no. This is the known answer, to become a songstress. Third, what outcome do I expect? This is hard but what I know is that this is for me to discover something related for me to reach my purpose.
Sigh.. Honestly, choosing to be a songstress is something I just decide rashly. It’s not like I don’t like music but I don’t feel that strongly about singing. But since I already decide, why not just go with it? They said we are about to have a long life after all. Why not learn something completely new? Who knows I might even become a renowned singer in this lifetime. I will have influence and I’ll earn a lot of money and be rich! hahaha… ha… I forgot. In my country, money isn’t something with a lot of use aside from buying and selling purposes. Tch, I guess I will be the first greedy dvilytis.
Now I am getting sidetrack. I turn my mind back to my main problem. But really, this noisy environment is really annoying. I hate noisy environment specially when I have something to do or focus to.
… Noise… that’s it? I think it is! I guess it’s about uniting my mind to nature and understand the noise- I mean sounds. dvilytis are considered part of nature so I think it must be it. It’s kinda funny seeing a scientist talking about something spiritual without solid proof or undergoing experiment.. heh… but I think I am leading to the right path I even get breathless! Not being able to breath must because of excitement right? Or no….
Daina: *gasp! Cough cough!* ugh mom?
Ena: Baby, do you enjoy your training that much? I know you won’t die from drowning but, is it really necessary trying it out? Come, your father is looking for you.
Alright! That's all for today folks, hope you enjoy it!
Anyway, we are half way till the end of the first arc (containing 20 chapters) and the second arc probably contain 20 or more chapters as well. I'm currently working on it. Daina's adventure outside the world will be in that arc and the title is....
I guess I'll just surprise you after I upload the twentieth verse.
Haha! *wink*
Q: Why are you in good mood today?
A: Cause it's pay day!!! Weeeee!
Well, I'm not just happy cause I got my salary but also because my Boss seems in good mood! Argh! You don't know how nerve wrecking my January this year. I almost cry many times huhu...
Okay! Enough of me! You guys are probably busy while I babble my self here. hehe
Ciao!
