Today as i biked in to campus, I saw this house with a path leading up to it. And covering that path was the most beautiful arched canopy of deep lilac flowers. It was just the most lovely thing ever...
Every day as i bike to work this spring i notice something new, something different, some bit of color here, a unique flower there. And it just makes me realize how beautifully varied and colorful God has made this world, what an intricate tapestry he has woven for us to rejoice and revel in. The never-ending bounties of nature always seem to me to be one of the purest reflections of the infinite beauty of God...
It also reminded me of these lines from the song "Bum bum bole" from the recently released Hindi movie, Taare Zameen Par (a must see for all those who haven't seen it). This part of the song goes:
"Aisi rangon bhari apni duniya hai kyun
Socho toh socho na
Pyar se chunke in rangon ko
Kisi ne sajaya yeh sansar hai
Jo itni sundar hai apni duniya
Upar wala kya koi kalakaar hai"
Loosely translated, it says, "Why is our world so full of color? Think and wonder... Someone has lovingly chosen all these colors and decorated it. Our world is so beautiful, surely the One above (God) must be an artist?"
Life is so precious, isnt it?
