What do you think of when you think of living life? If you ask me, I think of windy evenings; they are rather enchanting, aren't they? It's a fateful time in existence when both the light and dark of nature, the calm and the chaos, alongside all of its creation, coexist so beautifully together that we don't discriminate them as such as one is better than the other; we accept the beauty in both of them.
I was staring into this tree the other evening, and the wind was blowing through it. It was just shortly after sunset, so it wasn't completely dark. There were parts of the tree that were brighter than the rest, and there were parts that had a darker shade than the rest. Some leaves were flowing calmly, but some were rather shaking like they were fighting for their existence in an uphill battle with every passing blow. But regardless of all of that, it was all quite beautiful, every bit of it, and as a whole entity, it was even more glorious.
Leaves are such a thing of beauty if you think about it. They could be half torn or freshly born, they keep flowing and moving, and just the motion of it feels as much like home as anything can ever feel. When the slight breeze touches the leaf, you focus on the leaf itself, and it feels almost like a gentle healing sight, but when a wave of breeze completely blows it away, you see what's beyond it, and that sight isn't anything less than remarkable either.
The same breeze that was touching that magical part of this intricate creation touches you and me, and that is beautiful to think about. And when I was letting all of that sink in as this gorgeous sight danced in front of my being, at that moment, I felt like life is rather beautiful, that we are so deeply connected and intertwined on this planet that we get to breathe that same sweet breeze, the one that touches every single thing to exist on this land. There's no better feeling really than when you close your eyes and just breathe, when you just feel the wind, just feel the breath, everything, all the life, so much of it, it's so pure, it's like love, it's full of gratitude for the person you are and for everything around you.
It makes you feel connected through time, through the person you are, the person you were, through everything and your entire being. So today and any day when the going gets tough, just feel it, feel the gratitude, feel your being, feel that magical breath, try to at least. You are part of this universe, and you are one with it, no matter how much you tell yourself otherwise. Whatever you are going through, there is no right way or no one way to go about it; the path you are in is your path, and as long as you exist, the sight of you will always be magical and your existence a thing of love.
