Beautiful little things

Notice those little moments ? When you’re sitting on your bed, staring out of your window. The sun has set and it’s gradually getting darker. It’s summer time so now you can see the moon come up and go down from your window. You just sit there in the beauty of silence. These beautiful little things.

Beautiful little things. Remember when you walked past this cute child and just looking at her brought a smile to your face ? Perhaps these little moments that often go unnoticed, unrecognised are what really are beautiful. When you travelled on the bus or train or car, leaving behind as you drove the numerous people, trees, clouds. Because it’s only when you learn to see with love that you notice beauty. “A thing of beauty is joy forever”, to quote John Keats here.

Beautiful little things like the sun and the moon, smiling faces, beautiful poems, hearty laughter and even that book you loved reading or that cup of coffee that you really loved. On that rainy day, when you were stuck in your room. Have you ever tried to hear the stories they say? They are amusing, I assure you. All these beautiful little things have their own stories to tell. The sun, moon and stars speak of the universe. The rain talks of the ocean. The wind speaks of the world. The birds speak of their flights. The people speak of their memories.

A vast expanse of white in the morning after a heavy snowfall in winter, the flowers in full bloom in the garden, the crowd of people in the farmers' market, the flock of birds that flew across the big sky. All of them co-exist on this planet. Beautiful little things they are.
