As I was walking down the footpath in the morning today…I saw some bougainvellia flowers fallen on the ground..something made me stop and observe them carefully..i noticed that they were fresh..they had fallen not so long ago..their vibrant pink..caught my attention…I had this urge of collecting them in my duppatta..making it like a jhola...looking at them I got lost into the vast possibilities for which I cud use them..like I wanted to dry them completely and then paste them in different arrangements..i could just pick them up and float them in a shallow vase…or simply just gaze into them and see the flower inside…or just imagining to extract that particular shade of pink and put it in a bottle and use it for future use…or just gaze at it in the sunlight and see the fine veins running in the petals…or just admire this god’s beautiful creation which is so symmetric..so lovely and so perfect….but but ..there is a big but….It is lovely and perfect ..but it is lying on the ground….it will wilt in another 1 hour..or so..it will get mixed up in the mud and sand…it will just become a part of the earth again..its existence was so momentary…god made it beautiful..but that flower had no admirer except me…I admired it because it caught my attention..and I had that eye to see it that way…but no one else looked at it the way I saw it...god wants to convey something to all of us..there is hidden meaning to everything..he wants to teach a lesson to us all…the lesson is we must find the way to see beauty everywhere around us….even imperfection is beautiful..important thing is to have an eye for beauty..and it can be present anywhere… even on a footpath..in the dust..like I found today…..i was wondering all of this..unaware of the fact that people had started staring at me…I came out of my trance..smiled to myself…and walked on.
The philosophy is amazing Meenal. A person having a creative side to her, can see God's creations through those creative eyes. Your vision becomes more and more intuitive.
ReplyDeleteYou are an amazing person and almost always never fail to surprise.
Thanks for the lovely thought and sharing it with us.
Hey meenal
ReplyDeleteBeautiful thought. I think in our daily lives we have become so engrossed that seldom do we stop by to admire such tiny beautiful things.If you can still manage to see them,then it is absolutely commendable.
