The New Year Bell

By
With the clock striking 12 o'clock on the 31st December I waked up by a message alarm from my cell phone.I started reading the message expressing my joy and happiness to welcome New Year.  The new year message says:
Happy New Year 2012, Let this new year brings new joys and each day be wonderful and memorable.
The New Year Bell: Dinn din dindin
I was not sure from whom I got this wish. I could only guess. I replied with gratitude and wishing the same to the sender. Just before I started to sleep back, a bell rung saying  Dinn din dindin. It was wonderful to hear and I badly wanted to record it. Unfortunately my cell phone did not have the feature to record sound. I wanted it very much, but there was not any means to record that. Then I started to hear the ringing bell with silence. I tried to use my full auditory sense to make a memorable record of that moment, the arrival of a new year and a call for personal and professional consciousness. I said I can do it and started recording the sound in my deep heart. The ringing of the bell continued for three sessions of consecutive similar pattern. I created my own patterns to study the lovely music being generated as a result. It just said "Dinn din dindin" which means the first sound pattern is longer as you can see I repeated "n" to indicate this. Then a short sound of din. At last they come together.

When bell finished ringing, I played it so many times to keep a special record of the occasion. Above all it initiated me to think of many peculiar things related to my plan in the new year. It was all a message of musical pattern telling me to wake, think and act. I heard questions being asked, commands being given, courage being given, and I felt when my imagination was empowered and after all when I am being inspired and motivated.
Some of the questions I "translated" from the musical pattern of the New Year Ringing Bell are:

What is your personal development plan of this year?
What is your professional growth plan of the coming three months in this year?
How is your plan of spiritual understanding and growth in this year and ahead of your life?
Have you made a considerable plan for your social and cultural network strength including your family?

and more...
The last question I was asked was? What is your New year resolution? My Answer to this last question is: 2012, a Year to Listen! You may be wondering saying listen to WHAT. I am going to listen to my INSTINCT.

What is your new year resolution? What did the new year bell said to you? And what questions were you asked? I am glad to hear from Collaborative Educational Community.
