If not miracle...what else ?

The seed sprouts, the little plant emerges to welcome a new sunrise and slowly it grows into a beautiful  tree, gifting us with flowers, fruits, shade and much more. As much as the plant grows  outside, the roots grow within the soil, spreading far across in the search of water and nutrients.  And there is a system in place by which these are then distributed to various parts of the tree. Photosynthesis happens with the sunlight drawn, and finally one day we can bite our favourite fruit.

       A tiny bud which is all green appears. With every passing hour it opens a little, and out of nowhere we see a totally different colour on the plant. The flower blooms and spreads its fragrance around it makes man wonder from where did the colour and the fragrance come? They were not there in the plant before!

         The temperature drops to minus, everything freezes and so does the river. But what wonder it is that only the top layers of the river freeze and beneath it the plants and the animals remain unharmed by the cold. The top frozen layer of ice protects the water underneath from freezing. What a system!

         Standing on the top of the mountain, we look down at the trees and the farm lands and within an area of a few kilometres we notice hundreds of different shades of green. What a huge pallet nature must be having! No matter, how much we try, we will never be able to get all those colours into our paint boxes.

          In spite of all our scientific explanations and all our researches it still leaves man stunned and in wonder of these miracles by nature. This sense of wonder brings flavour to our life. This sense of wonder makes us understand the might and grace of the existence.

          I wonder too. Every sunrise leaves me in wonder. The play of colours in the sky, the constant chirping of the birds, the dance of leaves in the wind, the entire celebrative and yet meditative experience of the morning feels just wonderful.

          The working of the solar system and the galaxies just thrills me. Everything is just suspended out there and yet everything works in perfect order. What a miracle! What a wonder!
