Today I was watching the clouds…the blue sky speckled with snatches of clouds, colored golden by the setting sun…suddenly a huge black cloud passed by, slowly and gradually covering them...for a moment or two I was able to see the golden specks here and there and then the cloud laden with drops, covered the sky completely…and soon huge drops fell on the parched earth below…After a while it stopped and the cloud passed on, to shower its drops somewhere else….
Somewhere I feel that life is like those golden specks, beautiful yet vulnerable to those phases which are the clouds, and may cease to be beautiful when the drops fall and change everything, but the cloud passes on n so does the phase…there are times when life gets swayed by the circumstances -which incidentally is the wind- and moves along with the phase, at the same time struggling to maintain status quo. Sometimes that doesn’t happen though and one changes as ones circumstances change.
I feel that this is the purpose of life, where we need to be the lotus among mucky water or the speckled clouds amongst the black one, striving to be what we are innately and under no circumstances letting go of our essence, and these phases may not be necessarily bad, but we may just become a better person as a result!
I’d like to think that I’ve become a better person, but somewhere it dawns on me that I still have a long way to go………..

Hi,
U know in Japan, when people mend broken objects, they aggrandize the damage by filling the cracks with gold. They believe that when something's suffered damage and has a history it becomes more beautiful...yes, it becomes more beautiful!!
