THE MOON
She waxes and wanes so often, a happening that occurs every month, that the most striking revelation is that we just observe for the no moon day and the full moon day only – that too with the help of the almanac. Strange??
How many of us learn what is necessary for our life from the moon? Appropriately called a ‘heavenly body’.
How often do we spare a little time to observe her?
Is even a few minutes off our frighteningly maddening lifestyle is too much to ask for?
Why don’t you spend a few minutes starting today? And don’t postpone it, because, tomorrow never comes. No, I am not going to hassle or beg you to do it. If you are really committed to making your short life at least a joyful one, please do so. Five minutes of your most valuable time isn’t much.
Look at her. Serene. Always at her best - not now, not today, or not even at this moment, but forever. Don’t you love her irrespective of whether she is new or full? Don’t we wait so much in anticipation, with abated breath to see her, catch a glimpse of her, hoping to be the first one to see her when she is new, the day after she is absent? Very much like the sweet suffering a loved one endures when he misses his sweetheart a day on college?
In fact there is so much beauty around us to take in, to breathe, to consume, to love – if only we could spare the time for it. We often waste so much of our time complaining about the injustice meted out to us. When are we going to realise the time we lose? In all the probability, may be at the end. You are a gifted person. You just need to seek what your interests really are.
And when all else fails, you have the moon still there for you. All yours. Untouched. Unfazed. Waiting only for you. Just spend a little time in silence admiring her and you will know that she is. Beauty. Day after day.
