I am wondering if there is anything more beautiful than the fact that our life is a reflection of the universe, that in everything we see, there is an unknown precept, an ordinance that resonates with our life at some level. It makes me wonder how is it possible for all cosmic creations to make me realise that there is something that can be observed, understood and learnt from them, that there are revelations waiting to come undone.

I felt the cold winds,
I realised I was thinking about the seasons,
their consistency as well as unpredictability;
and then pondering over that, I realised
how people come in our lives for a while,
then just leave, inviting others to take their place.
I found a strange similarity;
there was an uncanny connection;
that made me want to know more, think more, wonder more.
My eyes went towards the sky
And I saw the stars and the moon,
Although the moon was full; shining in all its glory,
I was somehow attracted to the stars,
I kept gazing at them.
Their beauty. Their twinkling.
It reminded me of uncertainty.
Suddenly, I wondered
isn’t there a similar beauty to the uncertainty in our lives?
Every single moment that we are uncertain is a beautiful moment in itself.
I thought about what life would be like if we already knew everything.
And I was mortified.
There would be no element of surprise. Nothing to wonder about.
And yet again even that thought left me wondering.
