Have you ever noticed how we are attached to so many
things that surround us every day?! Little things that we painstakingly shop
and collect and decorate our house with....artefacts, aroma candles, wind
chimes, handicrafts...I can't have enough of them!!!
Sometimes, these things
are forgotten once placed at assigned space, just like people in our life,
until a visitor or two admires them and we are reminded of their presence
and beauty and some things, just like some special people in our life never
let you forget their presence!
This wind chime (in the picture) sings most lyrical
notes I have ever heard! It is absolutely thrilled just to BE; celebrating
every moment, whether it is existence of a tiny plant thriving, sprouting
glowing, little buds in defiance of my expectations, loud songs of cuckoo
announcing Summer or rain, frustrating heat/humidity or just a playful breeze,
its sweet tinkling never stops echoing through my home, bringing along
fragrance of a distant rain, hay or a deeply guarded memory with calming
energy....
There are some potted plants below the wind chimes in
our balcony and when music of the wind chimes starts, leaves rustle in
resonance creating perfect harmony....sometimes a butterfly, honeybee or a
dragonfly whirls around it trying to catch up to its tune and leaves happily
like a girl who has had the greatest dance of life with the coolest guy on the
floor!
Once in a while, out of blue, the wind chimes stop
singing when there is no breeze depriving me delight of Nature's background
music and for those few moments our home feels so barren... and just like that,
the music starts, picking up from half a broken note and unique symphony is
orchestrated once again!
Wind chimes; my constant companions at home that sooth
my hidden aches....come rain, heat, thunder or hail storm, they NEVER stop their
soul stirring renditions!
Life is so much more beautiful and tolerable with a
little music in the backdrop! Joys of simple, little things and their magic!
