Bound by gratitude is this existence. This should be proven by our each step in enjoying the liberty given by our provider and being responsible by conducting our duties towards her. Witnessing the mighty sunrise is in itself a skill as to picking up our pose while dancing to the beats of a rhythm. This proves the doubts of now, ‘carpe diem’ I would like to say! Well words fall short because the view is felt and I would ask you to experience it as each day is a new day. We share a beautiful bond with nature, she enigmatically charming. It is to be lived along as we are not just a part, but I would say we are one with nature. Her every move speaks in volumes and when we cross along with her delights we find a meaning for our existence.
Historians are still going on a debate about the exact time period of the human existence. Some believe in evolution whereas some don’t. Whatever and however it is, mankind has always sticked to nature. If there was no nature there wouldn’t be any existence of life. Not just human beings, but even the micro organisms need nature for there existence. There wouldn’t be any survival without nature both in the past and future. You can see some scientific movies showing the upcoming cities of the world with High level technologies , but they show the pictures of even some artificial trees and plants to satisfy basic human mind for a survival in the future. The most simple thing we study from the lower classes, ‘we get oxygen from the plants’, yes! without nature humans are like fish thrown out of the water or a patient on a critical stage pulled out of the ventilator.
These days most people are in rush and not everyone is satisfied with the life they live. People go through depression, anxiety, and several mental problems because of their 9-5 jobs. They need a void which gives immense pleasure and very few people get to realise what they are seeking for . ‘The nature’! as I said, nature has a long story with mankind. Physically, mentally and spiritually. Some of the hindu Vedas tells us Stories of some great Munis or monks who spend their whole life deep inside the forest to find the secret of our own being.. Why do they do that? If the theory was to be alone, shouldn’t have they stayed in their huts by avoiding the human distractions? Why do they choose nature for spiritual needs ? The nature has enough secrets which the basic human is not aware of and yes, one can feel the sound of the valleys, hear the whisperings of the woods, only if u go deep inside the nature, only when u love it truly.. If the soul of the nature ends, the time stops.
Humans with different entitlements have contributed their skills to make a remarkable identity in the books of history. But as far as I comprehend the workings of nature, she is the one who actually preserves and nourishes us loyally without expecting anything in return. Just give it a thought we have identification tools such as names, scientific nomenclature for anything that exists out to our reach and beyond. But how does she identify our necessities and provide to every needy? Well, it is true that her embrace has no equals but all we do is hold high the slight eruptions of destruct through her, forgetting that we are the ones who actually made way to all this.
The different shades, shapes, size, aroma and the view we preserve in our memories are her personalized recipes. But we add our superficial substance to take stands and prove our dictate on her land. Not just speaking about our relationship with nature, but I am trying to understand as to how foolish are we all attempt anything as such. Small things actually make a lot of difference, just one day hail high the tone of gratitude and look around without being tuned to the monotonous frequency, then the actual action would begin in our life. We all travel and I personally love to shake off the rigidity of my neutral life of routines or the system calls and take off. I mean fly high and each time I do take such a flight I wonder as to how much I would regret if I missed this chance.
The richness of culture is preserved with her delicate touches; I wonder how creepers get their curls? How come the coconuts preserve such tender sweetness? How come each time I visit the sea shore, I need to drag myself away heartbroken because it is never going to be enough of the salty sway and the musical waves that makes us dance according to its fancy, may be it will never be enough. Just wonders she contributes as she fancies and I promise she never compromises on quality or quantity. It is always our choice that brings us close to disclose her secrets which gives birth to another and it continues. Yes, facts and figures are important but how far are they applicable, because it is a game of perspectives and the experiences that make the categorization.
If it were to my choice, I would cross the limited bounds as the actual rush to be one with her is more realistic in the very sense of reality. Do spend some time by taking a pause from mobiles and the daily affairs. As far as she is close to us and we conduct our duties towards her. There will be scope for the next generation to know the feel of existence. The soothing breeze on a restless summer night, the nostalgic aroma of the soil just after the dazzling drizzles, the curvy new youthful rush of spring and the closeness of our blankets that makes us ditch our daily errands are her charms. Her terms are less to be just advertised with an adjective like beautiful. But I would like to say this relationship is best of any best that you hold yourself close to as this charm embraces us with our first blink until our last, actually even after that. So hail to the relationship with the elegant lady of charms – The Mother Nature.
