A drop of Nature ...
The other morning while I was walking to work in the city centre, I noticed a strange noise coming from above. I looked up and I got amazed by the view.
A squad of 12 wild-goose was flying by, high above the blocks. It was such a strange view in the middle of this modern city that I had to stop for a minute and give them a watch.
The squad was seemingly moving slowly, rather like swimming in the air, but as they got closer I could see that actually they flew swiftly and the movement of the whole team was just so powerful! I was amazed to see the consonance between the members of the squad, they moved perfectly together, following the top-goose. Every one of them knew their place within the team, there was no rivalization. They flew away swiftly to the south and after a minute the team disappeared somewhere behind the top of the buildings.
When they appeared the whole city seemed to go mute and the rush stopped until they disappeared. Or was it just me who experienced this? Anyhow, this was the first occassion in a long time when I felt really easy and happy.
This experience made me think about the simplicity of life. We human beings got so far away from this kind of calmness, from nature, that we can't even recognize what we miss. We build skyscrapers, wonder-cars, hyper-intelligent computers, we make businesses of dollarmillions, but we forget to live our own lives. We are always dissatisfied and want more and more. Nothing is good enough. And while we are chasing our dreams, we forgot where we have come from and we forget about what we are given by nature. We forgot about Nature, our home. We forgot about the real ourselves. We should take back from the speed and sometimes stop for a minute or two to look around and appreciate what we are granted. Then we could see how simple and great life can be.
