The calm walk of this morning, accompanied by the voice of Jagjit Singh, while watching the rising
of a nascent Sun that was yet to garb the mantle of
the oppressor, brought to mind an old thought - Am I not part of this
Universe, a chanceful coming together of the various elements of Nature?
You may be a religious person that believes in the 'atma' (soul), or a
science buff who prefers the 'atoms', but you cannot deny the fact that
we are all compositions of the elements of Nature.
Re-realizing
that I am one such a chanceful composition sent goosebumps through my
spine. Being kept alive by the Air, cooled and comforted by it, held by
the Earth, nourished by all the food that grows in it, bathed and
quenched by the element of Water, nourished by all the sights and
presence of the Space, warmed and lighted by Fire, to be finally fed to
it when 'I' am gone, am I not a part of Nature herself - born of her,
brought up by her, finally dissolving into her when the Fire will accept
me back?!
No wonder the Pagans preferred to worship Nature. I am even starting to believe that they must have been early-risers!
