LIFE IS A MIRACLE

Life is a beautiful existential puzzle and a very complex one at that. However the innate capability of the human mind to experience every occurrence in several different ways is what makes it worth living.

I go to the beach every morning for a walk. And everyday is different from the next, no two sunrises are the same and never does the beach look the same everyday. One day the shimmering waves are a breathtaking golden yellow reflecting the bright sunlight and the sunny sky, the next day it is a deep brooding blue tantalising you in its mysterious depths and calm serenity. One could spend an eternity viewing that sunrise and not a minute would have passed. That tingling sensation of the early morning sun rays on you is a truly remarkable feeling which can only be experienced by the body, words can say only so much. Such is its beauty.

That one hour of my life every morning is what makes everyday of my life so special and unique and so different. Because no two sunrises are the same and no two days are the same, we are all different people everyday of our life.

Another is the pure unadulterated joy of getting soaked on a rainy day, splashing into puddles and getting wet to the bone. Chennai rains have this quality of warming you while refreshing you simultaneously. They seldom make you feel cold. Come to think of it, it is these small pleasures of life that makes life worth living... Life is indeed a miracle...
