Look For the miracle.
This beautiful morning, I woke up feeling unnecessary anxiety and thinking about my unproductive week. I looked down the balcony; I could witness the reality of life. Almost everybody walking down the lane was bound by shackles of social commitments or responsibilities. A father was dropping his son off to school bus on the stand, a mother was waiting at the bus stop to go back home after waving at her daughter in school bus, an old man was waiting for traffic to stop, a woman waiting for her help to arrive, a group of men at a tea stall were enjoying their cup of hot brew, which was probably the energy drink for them to pull those heavy hand carts loaded by with metallic pipes and rods. A group of young sisters was walking with their bags and books in hand towards their classes, right across my building.
Almost every one of us opens our eyes in the morning to the same, mundane life. We probably live the same life for 365 days a year. As long as our routine dictates the way we lead our lives, our bound that leaves the miracles of life unexplored. Look at the fish in the tank. Poor thing! It doesn’t have a choice but to swirl around between those four walls. But, we human beings have the entire universe to explore.
Why can’t we savour every moment of life and let every second sink into our souls? Why can’t we untie ourselves from our routine life and pour excitement in each day that we live? We find it impractical as that’s not how life works, Right? We do not even realize how our “to do list” remained the same over a span of years.
So, today is a very good day to start anything that we want. Do one thing every day that makes you beam wide and laugh vivaciously. Start living today. Expand your wings, let your feathers breathe and embrace the freedom of life. Let every moment of your life touch your heart.
We are creatures of habit, and we do have cognitive thought, unlike most of our other animal neighbors. There is really nothing mundane about any of us. Just ask your neighborhood gold fish.
True. Gold fish will certainly agree with you. Grass in always greener on the other side.
Why can’t we savour every moment?…………..the same reason we can’t have Christmas every day.The exciting moments would than become the norm.Every hill has to have a valley.
Only If I was as wise as you.
If I was wise,this is where I wouldn’t say a thing……
But, I expect you to say things so I can be better informed and look at things differently.
I do not consider myself well enough informed to be able to say something of note.I usually just say something I end up regretting,but I appreciate your encouragement Lovey!
Well, let me tell you otherwise then. I find you well informed enough as I receive different perspectives to explore from you. I can’t get over how beautifully and rationally you explained about Racism. That was something I didn’t know of And many more thoughts and ideas on different issues and conflicts. Please, don’t regret speaking up your mind. Thank you being constant to my Blog. I wish you a great day ahead, Tofino.
thank you Lovey
A beautiful wish for this day and every day, Lovey. Have a Merry Christmas and new year filled with adventure and peace.
Thank you for being gracious. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year (Singing tone). 🙂
So true. Life is busy these days. There seems to be no time to breathe in the beauty around us. We have to put all weights aside and find that time. Beautiful post.
True, We are so busy making a living that we forget to make a life. I wish you happy holidays and Beautiful Merrier Christmas.
Indeed. Merrier Christmas to you too! 🎄
