The words wheeze by like the sound of an asthmatic patient in need of breath. Though I heard each word clearly like a mother's clear warning to a child, but... I didn't understand what was said.
Knowing me, I should have tried to make sense of the words heard but my mind is clouded. I have a lot of things running through my mind at once and do not have the time to understand anything.
I edged forward walking home after a traumatic tiring day at work.
"I should probably quit and focus on something else" I mumbled, but my inner mind didn't agree. I have lots of responsibilities to shoulder so that would not work. I just need to rest for a few minutes before doing other things.
But, I found my legs were too tired to move. Not because I was completely drained to go home but because something held me back.
The words I heard earlier came out again and I understood it without thinking much. They were words telling me to stop and breathe and look at my surroundings.
I wanted to argue that I had no time for this. My bed calls me. My body aches and I am super hungry. I wanted to lash out at my body for not moving my legs forward but I couldn't. The beauty of the moon that guided my path home shone on me and I took a deep breath.
I paused for a while and then looked at my surroundings. I found how hurriedly people moved and how many were focused on their devices rather than their companions. I saw a lot of mistakes and it made me shudder.
"Why can't they just stop and breathe like I just did? Why can't their legs be tied to move like mine did? Why can't they see and feel the beauty and calmness of the moonlight?"
But, I knew the answer. We all do. Don't we? I was like them a few minutes ago. In a rush.
Lifting my head toward the sky, the moon smiled at me. Its smile was so bright that tears filled my eyes. I was lost in its glory. I didn't hear the sound of anything.
It was as if I transcended to another world where humanity does not exist. I was among the stars and they welcomed me like I was a lost gem found. A long sigh escaped my lips and I found my eyes shiny. My body glowed and I felt renewed. It was magical.
I found beauty in the presence of mother nature and it gladdens my heart. When I paused to truly see and feel, I saw lots of good things. My breath changed and became calm. My heartbeats were magical, there was no stress. My body which yearned for the comfort of my bed feels woke. All the stress and worries left me in a flash.
I needed no drugs or alcohol to give me the peace the moon bestowed upon me. I needed no huge money to give me that calmness and love felt. The rest I wanted was given to me without stress and it was then I truly Awwn at the love filled in nature's presence. It is astonishing.
My once tired now super balanced stress-free legs moved to go home but I realized I was already there.
"I am home".
