Warm Embrace of Nature
As I glanced at the sunbeams dancing through my window blinds and the rumbling of the winds softly fill in the silence, I felt a deep pleasure within. I sensed a warm healing presence enveloping me into a big bubble, permeating and expanding. I closed my eyes and took it all in one deep breath and it flooded over every inch of me.
Such peace, such delight, such warmth, such bliss, we can hardly experience even with the things we most covet in our hearts. And yet how simple it is to attain.
Seems as though the simplest of men are the most content in life, the ones who find happiness. We, on the other hand, make our life complex, chasing after things that might make our unsatisfying life a bit better, may it be riches, romance, that perfect job, social status, places or something that might give meaning to our lives. We spend our whole lives pursuing it with the false hope of fulfilment. Although it might make our lives easier, alone these possessions can never quite the storm in our hearts. Yet, we go on the search for the wrong ointments to our pain without first uncovering the form of the wound that aches us.
But, just witnessing the dynamics of nature fills me with joy and gratitude. Having the chance to be a part of this beauty, this grandeur and so very intimately, time and again it makes me realize how valuable our life is. Simply being given the chance to experience this life should offer enough meaning to our existence, there is nothing else to add, nothing more to search for.
This made me wonder how very deep is our relationship with nature~ Even when you are left with nothing, with no one by your side and you feel all alone, even if you forget to nurture this bond time and again, it will never sever, it will remain. All you ought to do is listen and imbue yourself with its brilliance.
