Sitting here at the terrace of my building, looking at the brilliant orange sunset on one side and the slight trace of the moon on the other, I wonder what life is all about..
I wonder what are we all here for, after all. Sure, thanks to my love for spiritual books, I read and hear about all this stuff everywhere.. Some say we are here to learn our lessons and move to better worlds, others say we are here to make the world better, while some believe we are just here to experience ourselves.. I wonder what I have been doing in the last 24 years of my life.. I guess I was mostly learning how to live in the beginning, and have been trying to "unlearn" most of it lately.. It's difficult to decide what was right... It's hard to decide what's the idealistic way to live.. I would wish it was easier to know, but then like everything else, life is not black or white..
Anyway.. I see these birds fly and glide, distracting me from my trail of thoughts that was moving towards depression.. But these birds.. not caring for a thing in the world.. their glide makes me feel the freedom I am fortunate to have.. To be able to enjoy this beautiful breezy sunset and rejoice in this grand celebration.. Sure there are questions that need answers.. Problems that need solving.. There will always be.. But the grandeur of this moment makes my so called complications seem so insignificant..
For a few moments, I am nothing but a part of this beautiful creation.. Which, well, I anyway am.. I just realise it this moment.. Strange how the simplest of things like a sunset or the flight of the birds, can teach you so much about life.. How the littlest of these experiences help you think clearly about the "bigger things in life". The dreams, the ambitions, the goals that we all carry.. That we get so engrossed with every day.. Considering each day as one more opportunity to put the pieces of the puzzle together.. These goals, these efforts, don't they sometimes make us completely forget about the little things in life? And although it's pretty cool to know where we want to be, wouldn't it awesome to have fun all the way.. And just pause and appreciate the simpler things that life has to offer?
I guess most of us would agree to this; but hold on.. It isn't all that simple to note the simpler things you would say.. To pause and smell the roses when you are rushing to make it to office on time, or to smell the coffee when you have the "urgent" tagged stock of projects on your desk or to appreciate the rainy weather when the trains could get late because of rains? Well who says it's easy.. I just say it's worth it! Give it a try.. And well, let this text be a reminder.. To have a beautiful day!
