Yesterday, as I drove home from visiting a friend I was caught up in the beauty of nature. It composed of regular things that given a company in the car, I may have chatted myself away from this acknowledgement. Not on this day though. I was alone in the car, the stereo hummed a soft beat and besieged by my circumstances of late, I was always going to be in a pensive mood.
I had just gone past a road construction delay point, over took some utility vehicles and then beyond the pattering of heavy down pour when I came on a straight road with the glow of sunset right before me. The clouds were behind me and the highway seems to lead straight to the glowing ball on the western horizon of planet earth. Some dark clouds were still positioned at the periphery of the sun but rays of light seem to pierce right through them. Those same clouds also did not stop the cast from the sun to reach the wet road in front of me as the latter reflected like a path paved in gold. I could still hear the patter of light drizzles on the lush grassland either side of the road.
The landscape stretched beyond me unto hills and valleys. I was so enthralled I wished I could break, turn off the ignition, take a walk towards one of those hills and when atop, just gaze into tranquillity under the light drizzles. As I entered into town, I lifted my eyes and it was to the rainbow. It seemed I had passed under its arch and the points where it touches the earth were visible. I wished I could position myself right in the middle of that portion of land!
My thought have reeled over the sight and I have re-lived the feeling again. There is inspiration around us if only our minds are calm. Beyond the cloud of doubt and difficulties is the clarity and hope of light. These aside, the earth is beautiful and nature is a miracle. I was caught up in it.
