First Day of Tranquility
May 24, 2012
Here I am, enjoying the tranquil moment, of solitude, away from the urban jungle singing with melancholy horns and puns. Fine, you can say that I am kind of hoaxing that statement because I am here, in front of the computer, destroying boundaries and distorting distance because of the global space.
Nevertheless, I’m enjoying the simplicity I am having right now. This is my first day here at the province, but it’s like you’ve been here for a thousand of years because of the hospitality and warmth the people are giving to us.
In here, when you look at the vast horizon, you would see plains, either a forest or a farm, with animals roaming around. It’s a treat for the eyes gone weary of the buildings that are scraping the sky, the dreams and the hopes of the people. In here, when you look up, you would see a collage of stars and promises of the future, like how lovers of ages ago would serenade one another along the river, with the gushing of the water as their ambiance and the cool wind as their orchestra.
Foods. It is always the best. All naturally grown at your backyard, with love, laughter and smiles as hidden ingredients. It is awesome. The taste, it’s up to you to find it out, but believe me, your fast food chains would never ever be able to keep up at the phase of the provincial delicacies. This is heaven.
I felt my self again, the real one, without my worried mind or my weary bones, as we walked at the cold pavements, staring at the sky and the stars and feeling the cold breeze. We listened to the secret hymn of the insects and of the few passing vehicles. We sat at the road, connecting the urbanized soul with Mother Nature’s spirit. It was rejuvenating.
What’s best? No prejudice. In here, you could be yourself, at it’s purest form. No eyes to judge you. No sharp tongue to hurt you. There’s no concept of which brand would declare you as the lord of miseries or the lord of the land. In here, everyone’s welcome. In here, everyone’s accepted.
This is what we call LIFE.
