As I watched the sights in the west and east horizons I found myself surrounded by a celestial world of realities which stood out as spectacular on a rainy day, when the Sun and Moon made their presence known in the skyline.
There sights in this awesome splendour lasted only for a few minutes! The setting sun and the clouds obliterated the scene.
The ecstasy of an experience is often short lived. Its memory also can be short-lived as it is often beyond our comprehension to carry such an awesome sight or experience in our memory lane. They are transcendent and therefore can be carried in human consciousness transiently and partly.
The craze to perpetuate ecstasy experiences push young people to be substance dependent and partying oriented that they hardly live in the reality of a sober and conscious choice of wellness.
The joy of living comes from a sense of belonging. We belong to ourselves and not to our false self or an image we or others create about ourselves. The true self within us is like that of a child who would feel comforted and carried by the warmth of his or her parents.
Humans are born to live in the cradle of God's presence to whom we belong and in whose presence we find ourselves accepted and freed to live our lives in pilgrimage!
