Today i observed three very different faces of life, I passed by a man and his son, a toddler was held safely in his father's arms. His face was filled with pure joy and wonder, as he looked beyond the roads witnessing amazing things in his brand new world. It is the beginning of a beginning, and a smile turned up on my face with the power and sweetness of this simple thought.
one of my batch mate was sitting on a rock and was gazing into the distance. He looked sad and forlorn, as the breeze blew by and made the leaves flutter on the tree next to him, in this lonely scene. I was reminded of other days in the past when sadness and hopelessness were my only companions. I said a silent prayer for him, and profound thanks, to God, for me.
An old woman leaned on a fence post, looking into some other time. She doesn't seem either happy or sad, just gazed into the past, or maybe the future. I wonder what her ageing, but still lovely eyes have seen, in the time that she has spent in this world. Where has she been? What amazing things has she witnessed? A lifetime lays hidden behind her eyes. A feeling of timeless peace flew through me and all fear of what the future might bring drained away. I thanked her with my thoughts, and moved on.
Today i have learnt that there is something positive in any human being or things surrounding you, you just need eyes to see that
There are no moments when nothing is happening, so live and cherish each and every moment of your life
