Get your raincoat guys :)


Sunday Morning. Everyone at home is fast asleep! It is my favorite time to contemplate and read and be in my own field of thoughts without interruption! The best thing to do in such times is to go for a walk. Tied laces, got  ipod out and then just as was about to step out of house –it started to rain. One freezes at the doorway and as one watches the grass get wet one wonders about what choice to make- take out the shoes and get back into house or get a rain coat to go for a walk.

Well get your raincoat!

Ah! the rain splatter on my rain coat made its own music over and above the music that I was listening to, each music tone creating a vibration of its own. The raindrops hit the ground and then jump back up a little like a bouncy ball. The  smell of wet Earth, the humid in the wind. The green of leaves and grass, the bright color of flowers dancing in that rain. The rain got heavier.  Time to take shelter under a tree. Breathe- watch and then take selfie:) 

Resume walking humming and singing and just being. I created this moment by making the right choice.

Get your raincoat guys :)

  1. You created the moment for yourself but for me also. Living in present is good but living present moment in the morning that too in rain is special. It definitely creates a blog...get your raincoat out by you ..or a poem or pleasant thoughts or feeling of love and oneness for others. These are divine moments which go waste unless one is awake and alive to these moments.
    Another lesson you get is ...is the futility of living life dictated by ego, a web is created by it and you remain trapped for whole life without realizing that time is running out ..
    So, take our out your shoes, tie the laces and take out raincoat...something amazing is waiting for you..something special is happening for you...cosmic dance of shiva is on...you must participate

    Thanks Alka...you write spiritual...you write simple...you write about science...but you always write brilliant...

    1. Rakesh Thank you
      yes haha it specially creates a blog.
      It is the little moments of life that make one become aware of such moments
      Life dictated by ego brings so much havoc and yet we know no other way
      When I go for walks and am with myself- i am in a world of my own- i sometimes know not that an hour has passed and i am still not tired.
      In rain - i remember mosoons n India - in summers what fun ti was to enjoy monsoons making puddles and splashing in them
