After finishing my morning household chores I was amazed as my wall clock was showing I had good 20 minutes in my hand which I can utilize as “my time”.
What Happy Morning!
I decided to sit quietly and meditate for while but suddenly I had nudge to make a cup of strong coffee. I immediately followed my heart and in few minutes, was in my terrace with a cup of hot coffee. Trees, chirping of birds, butterflies, cats, flowers and every bit of nature made me fresh and happier. My heart was jumping with joy with a sense of peace and serenity.
I felt everything was always there, always around and willing to extend joy and energy to live (प्राणशक्ती) but I was too busy to even notice it.
Me 1 was telling me its amazing as you are noticing it once in blue moon but if u start spending time with it daily it will become routine and this instant freshness and magic would vanish and taking out time from your work for such things on regular basis would be bad idea as that time can be utilized in fine tuning your work.
I felt right. My work also gives me pleasure but when it has become routine, today I felt, I was too busy to notice nature around me. Moreover with fantasy of spending time with awesome nature I cannot leave my work.
me 2 intervene with another thought, you don't have to stop or even disturb your work schedule at all but u need life force to move on and achieve, which can only be absorb from nature around.
My mind had started games again. I felt little nervous as I was about to drifted in confusion plotted by my mind. I wanted to leave the place and the trap my mind was about set. I decided to get back to work but woow a tiny yellow bird attracted my attention.. I could not move a bit.
My me 2 again probed me .. The way you feeling right away is'nt awesome? nature can never become routine as it changes every second the beautiful yellow bird which u just notice has already flown away, that colorful tiny butterfly is not letting you close your eye lashes, oh look at that flight amazing and that energetic squirrel, where is that small dark bird? oh its already hid inside branches of tree, I really did not notice how big these trees have grown.
Me 2 took me on ride, within few minutes i felt lost in nature, centered and calm. I suddenly realized a sparrow was knitting her nest. what amazing builder she was! which degree did she obtain? life taught her. how, when and where to build nest?
In the middle of summer as well nature was beautiful gulmohar was smiling at me. he was always there to calm my eyes in summer but I had forget to acknowledged. I promised myself to spend atlist 15 minutes a week with nature to absorb life force. I had no mobile or wrist watch with me but exactly after 20 minutes I was all set to get ready and heed to my office.
no alarm no clock was better than my own mind. those last 5 minutes or so I spent acknowledging beauty around and expressing my gratitude to that highest energy or the creator.
I could feel my mind was calm, centered and focus and i was set for starting a beautiful day
And the beautiful day began in most effective way. :)
