Through different eyes

I reflect all the time. I reflect on past events, present moment and the far-sighted future. A recent conversation with a friend (Sanjit who photographed this picture, on right) reminded me of faith. Very often than not I forget what made of my life force to begin with. The very essence of positive energy is what makes us thrive, as a species. Hope- hope for better days, better family, better health, wealth or the quest of love, this very imperfection, perfect in its own ways, keeps us going.

This picture reminds me of the colder days in Nepal (where it is taken, Dec 2014), I longed for the very sunny days of Singapore I generally complain about, I longed for the organised monotony that I very often loathe and I craved for the humid sterile air that makes me moan and groan. I counted my blessings that I reside in a clean country, safe society with bearable weather, fresh food and stable employment. It made me look at my life through different eyes.
I know sometimes pain shroud our view, the boredom of plenty makes all of is go on a new adventure of soul search. I have decided to love and first step of love begins with gratitude. I am grateful to the Almighty who gave me the opportunity to experience and I am grateful to myself and my loved ones who prepared me to embrace that opportunity with healthy mind. It's time I share the view and give it back to them.
I do realise that there would be colder days which hard to bare, but the warmth of  love and inclusiveness, what already exist in life will always keep me grounded.

Surround oneself with love and very day-to-day chores of life starts to look spectacular, through different eyes.

Until next time...
