The unnoticed beauty of life!

This Saturday afternoon would have been like another Saturday afternoon! I would have taken a long rest, then do some personal works, go for a walk or something which might give me some relaxation. In fact I thought of going to a place to spend some quiet time. But things have changed when a 74 years old community member proposed to me to go for a walk with him. I was rather surprised with the proposal. I grabbed the opportunity and went with him.

We walked almost for three hours. We have talked on different aspects of our lives. He patiently listened to me. At one point of our conversation, I asked him what was source of his happiness. He laughed and said, “Be simple and notice the unnoticed beauty of life.”

I asked him what he meant by ‘unnoticed beauty of life.’ “Very simple” his quick response. “Sorrow, hardship and darkness are always replaced by happiness, success and light in our life journey. But often we do not notice them. This is the unnoticed beauty of life.”

How true these simple words are!
