Little things have great wisdom

It is raining slowly. Fallen leaves and some still attached to a vine have the same amount of blizzard soaking their exposed faces. Yes, a blessing for a new plant that quenches your thirst for the week’s drought. He seemed to feel agonized when he wanted to be relieved of pain and ache and everything. As we can see how the world is turning, people relate to each other, material things become the status symbol rather than the purest intention and innocent longing for a peaceful and happy life.

The little things around you are great when given enough time to be recognized, valued, and treasured, etc. Like the flowers by the side of the road, simple but magical because it evokes a good feeling to those who see and appreciate them.

With the corona virus wreaking havoc in every corner of our shared fragile fear, some people are learning to look beyond their mundane existence. Some have been simplistic, without a glimpse of the material wealth they cling to, because what matters most are the essentials: oxygen to breathe, water to drink and food to fill the stomach … and, of course, the love that binds people towards the desired goal: happiness, contentment.

If something made us realize this pandemic, it is the importance of the present moment. The now. not the past, not the future … this very moment while we are still breathing, moving and caring for our loved ones.

Yes, savor the moments when you can still feel the cold morning air and hear the song of the birds on a nearby branch; smell the flowers in your garden, even the last leaf is about to fall; see the beauty of the faces and hearts of our loved ones; and many more little things that are essential to living a happy and content life.

No amount of material things could protect you from the corona virus, no one can save you once you have them in your system, but only your faith in the Almighty can make you endure all these things. Because our final journey is not this land, but the only place where everything is good, pleasant and kind.

Strangers of the earth, let us all be joyful witnesses of his grace. Value the life you have cherished, take advantage of the time to love and learn and live to the fullest. Never underestimate the little things around you, as they have their own purpose. Even a humble herb is a boon for a swollen foot after a hard day’s work. A gust of air is more of a de-stressing caress of nature in the middle of the daily grind we had to face.

Yes, there is always a beauty in the sight of wildflowers blooming despite the arid land in which they grew. A new shot of a crack plant that shows us the power of determination, perseverance, etc. If there is a will to survive, there is a way to flourish. Like a lotus flower in the middle of cloudy water, its beauty is impressive under the moonlight. Shining in the morning when the dew kisses them as a sign of hope, because another day has come … another opportunity to sustain life despite adversity.

When you feel like giving up, look around and see the magic. Little things have no one to trust; like Cogon grass, but they dance in the wind or in the rain. For those who have all the time wasting their opportunities to be happy without seeing the beauty of simple life. Yes, living is enjoying the beauty of the simple things that surround us. Appreciate the humble caterpillar that turns into a magnificent butterfly and watch how it makes you smile. Regain your inner power after what life had given you. You need to survive now, prosper later. Because there is always time for everything. Your plan is worth waiting for. Be patient.
