You? Who is the “you”? Didn’t you already assume that I am writing about a lover? Yes I am, but as I am writing this and mention this word “lover” why is it always connoted to our partners, boyfriends and girlfriends, wife and husband and not to our parents who has always been our lover since the beginning of our time? This is just a random thought but intriguing as I am starting to wonder. Am I being too dramatic over a mere word? Or may be you could ponder upon it as well.
The time is 6:10AM on my watch. I am walking at a my normal pace because I am in no hurry to reach anywhere except to catch the train of 6:30AM. So I have ample time to cover the distance at the allocated time even at my normal walking speed. One of the many perks of getting up early! I have my mask on and a coffee in my small flask. I pull my mask on and off as I take a sip of my black coffee. And then it is when the sun rose. Sunrises are beautiful! Aren’t they? And then I go saying few prayers automatically and think of my parents first. This is my way of saying “WOW!” since the day my mom told me to offer anything beautiful to the god above before I devour the beauty with my selfish eyes.
I vividly remember when she gave me this lesson. Few years back, we were taking a walk when we passed by a fully bloomed red rhododendron tree. Yes it was beautiful! Very beautiful indeed! I even wanted one of the blossoms in my hair to decorate. There she stood near the tree and went “this is beautiful and I offer this beauty to the triple gem”. It was then when she told me to offer anything beautiful to the creator above first and I enjoy it later. I didn’t ask her why because it was too profound to ask why. I didn’t want to pluck one of the blossoms to decorate my hair. Isn’t just the thought of offering beautiful? But today when I see the flowers, sunrises and sunsets, moon and stars, the beautiful sky, the gentle breeze on summer days, beaches, trees and colours and anything beautiful in my sight I think of my mom and my parents. I offer this beauty to them first,because they are my creator. The creator above of who I am today. I pray that they remain safe in their health and wealth.
So at the beauties I thought of you parents! It is 7:07AM now and I have ample of time until I catch another train.
Good day peeps!
