Day 345 of small things giving smiles- Being humbled by the grandeur and magnificence of nature
Have you ever stopped and stared at the sheer magnificance of a natural phenomena? Have you been stunned into silence because you have no words to express the feeling of awe that has swept you off your feet?
Well this is the time to get your feet firmly back on the ground. We run all the races of life to acquire the so called standards of materialistic possessions and then think so high of ourselves. And we conveniently forget to acknowledge the unbelievable magnificance and sheer beauty of nature around us.
So it was a moment of sheer humility that got on to me when I visited the Grand Canyon with my daughter. As I sat almost at the edge of the cliff, I was amazed at the sheer drop of the gorge in front of us. Imagine miles and miles of solid stone making patterns over centuries. And we get so thrilled by our so called petty materialistic acheivements!
As I bowed my head in reverence to the sheer grandeur and magnificence of nature, I decided to get in touch again with my humble side…a smile in humility is a big step towards lasting mental calmness!
So which small thing gave you a big smile today ?
