Just back from the Park, today wasn’t like the usual daily visit. Though nothing miraculous happened but sometimes you stop n observe things (which r same as always) from different perspective. Similar was the case with me today,
Took a few rounds of the park, got tired n took a bench to sit n relax (this too as always).
But today was a different day, I felt closer to the Mother Nature and realized that it has its own unique omnipresent way to teach us the art of living life.
Whether it is the children playing around, the way they get fully absorbed in the play, the way their faces gets filled with divine ecstasy on all little (sweet) achievements forgetting the world around them, who reminds how we have long forgotten to enjoy small things in life n the art of doing one thing at a time giving fully to it.
Or the huge old trees. Standing tall in all odd n atrocious conditions still looking aesthetic, who reminds how much "is" perseverance important to succeed in life.
The water flowing in the fountain, as if its saying that “ I have traveled mountains as a river, flown down as rain only for you” , Telling how pure n lovely is to dedicate oneself completely for others.
Beautiful shining starts in the sky, making their presence felt from far away by burning themselves, signifying “distances doesn’t matter, difficulties doesn’t matter” if you have the will you too can shine one day.
Birds flying high in the sky, with full faith that their wings wont let them down even at further heights, showing that any n every thing is achievable if you have confidence in your capabilities.
And the most important thing, with such activities taking place n numerous things taking their toll, It (nature) still maintains its calmness n serenity, depicting the importance of being always humble n down to earth (no matter what so ever you become).
I learnt it today “Read the omens n listen what the nature has to tell” , life will become easy n beautiful…… :)
One word-Brilliant !!
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, and surprisingly I also visited the same park. It was also a different visit, although I don’t go there often but still it was not same like others. I saw a boy sitting calmly on a bench, taking long breathes, watching many things with his angular eyes. As if he is searching for his mentor and eventually found it in the form of Mother Nature whose every part is an answer to each query of his life.
ReplyDeleteHe has several aspirations which are odds to this world but his dreams & beliefs. He wants to give the best of him to whatever he does and he finds a support to this attitude in the divine ecstasy of children playing around who are happily engaged & busy with their small achievements & which mean a world to them.
He silently praises the trees for standing calmly & gracefully against all odds, and from the trees he decides that he will never lay himself down in front of any difficulty.
He makes a promise to the water who have traveled a long journey that he will taste every dish of life and by his experience he will always try to serve his best to the one who are in need.
He assures himself that he will never be away from his loved ones as those who are left behind will keep him under their cover in the form of smiling shining stars even when the nights will be dark. Now, he knows and relaxed by the feel that he will never be alone.
And he then looks at himself and find that he is a capable person, capable of doing all good things in life and quotes to himself that I will chase my dreams with all my strengths and intellect which are provided to me by the grace of God.
So, by all these thoughts, some unique satisfaction and happiness gets filled in him for now he is known to the fact that he is a special and greatly loved child of Sai who will always be with him in all walks of life. And his newly found Mentor – Mother Nature will always teach him all the lessons he seeks for.
Watching the boy, filled me as well with immense pleasure, and I came back home with lots of love and respect for that boys feelings and thinking.
