What if I tell you there are priceless things you can't afford
to buy?
Yes, even a homeless could have.
The next opportunity you get to leave home, I request you to
do yourself a favour that you undoubtedly deserve.
I want you to focus DEEPLY on something you usually take for
granted.
It could be trees, flowers, the eyes of a cat you pass by,
or simply the angel of breeze abundantly surrounding you.
As you concentrate more and more deep, you will begin to
tantalize the music embedded within unexpected sources beating in unison to
your pacemaker.
*At this point I literally stood up and walked outside my
front gate*
I intend on sharing with you what I absorb during this mini
trip.
In order to prevent my visual ideas over-ride my other
perceptions, I switched off the garden lights and stood in complete darkness it
was 11 p.m last night, only illuminated by moonlight.
Ahhh! How breathtaking! The handsome moon poured its silky
beams onto the majestic coconut palms while the smooth blades of grass
frolicked in delight against my feet.
I closed my eyes and felt the breeze tingle my face, only to
be distracted by hyperactive mosquitoes singing against my ears and restless
lizards creaking at a distance in phase with the leaves of all the trees in
sight.
As I opened my eyes I spot stress-free fireflies flying with
overflowing liberty, with joy peace many of us could only wish for.
The stars dazzled with pride as patriotic citizens of the
Milky Way...
As you see,
the moon,
stars,
breeze,
music of insects and
all these priceless sources of tranquillity
are affordable even to the starving and homeless.
As you choose to sip from these fountains of bliss, you will
gradually quench the insatiable thirst for peace of mind until materialism with
all its pressure would have no space on your list of requirements for true
happiness.
