Under the Bodhi tree

Sometime ago, there were a few heart-shaped leaves growing from a corner of the pavement..I thought it was beautiful and I walked away feeling graced by the beauty.

I took that same path for countless time each day I knock off from work as I walk to the bus stop.

Yesterday, I took the same path. I stop there because Bird was taking picture of a cat. I looked up the sky as I waited. I realise I am in the embrace of a tree. Covering me like a curtain with its heart-shaped leaves, leaving window for me to watch the clear blue sky of the evening.

I am standing below a Bodhi tree.
I took a few steps back.

I smiled. I am amazed.

The leaves which I saw sometime ago have grown into a beautiful leafy tree.

I am not aware it has grown so tall:)

Reflections:

Every small little thing and moment has the possibility of becoming big. We just have to give it some time to grow.

Sometimes we need to stop, turn around and take a few steps back in order to realise the beauty and graciousness we are surrounded by.

At other times, it takes another person or event to bring to our attention of what we have and the greatness in it and us. So we just have to trust that there is always a guiding light if we let be.
