As i said many times before that when we see carefully we find that everything in the universe seems to resemble each other in certain pattern of behavior .
With age i feel how fast time is flying away.
A day particularly has such a short "age" you see .
Sun gives it birth at morning when first cozy ray open it's soft eye gently .
i am sure if you are an early riser you must have noticed the soothing innocent of morning time .Just like a newly born baby who took his first breath and opening cute eye to take a first look of the world calmly . Without any pollution added to his tranquil nature morning times are special and beautiful .Free of all kinds of desperation and curiosity morning time are all about a restful observation and quiet self reflection .Their peace offer us a unique perspective in which we can reflect ourselves in refreshing and energetic way and feel relived always. I am lucky i have seen such early morning times as little and then young girl back in my native town. Though after moving here my early times starts late such as after 7am or so . I miss that adorable baby time .Nature is Best at her each work . Her setting of morning light over the earth is only reason how morning look what it looks like ,calm ,beautiful and innocent .Morning light not just shine the ground but it highlight the "connection " between everything so beautifully. This is gift of the age of innocence .
A day ages fast and gets to it's haphazard youth soon. Sun reaches to it's peak and world under it's straight and stern light seems to wither and lost in never ending adventure. Everything seems to get in it's own shell . Light that was showing earlier reality of the world warped in enchanting connection is different now. The young day is rude and self centered who barely care for anything around. Despite of the how productive a "young day" is the "connection" between everything seems lost mostly .
A day keeps aging quickly and approaches to it's old age soon. The evening arrives when once again sun is getting down and shedding light on earth in which "connection" or "relationship" between reality is so "visible" .Things seems to reconnect each other with deeper perspective and stronger bond. I loose my words when i try to describe beauty of an evening time . The maturity and sensibility of aged day ,an evening is exquisite and transforming . Just like old people it has power and way to tell stories and make us think about all we were unable to think about when day or we were young. I love this part more even though it is followed by darkness of night (or death) which seems an end but we all know it is not .
What do you think about an "aging day" ?
While writing this a thought struck in my mind .If it is all about light and how it approaches to things Is consciousness light ?
Because just like light our Consciousness enable us to See and understand reality ?
You are truly a poet, Baili, even as you write prose. I loved how you described a day in terms of aging. As a photographer I love the special light that occurs during the first hour after sunrise and the last hour before sunlight. I call them the "golden hours." Colors are richer and warmer. I really enjoy my morning coffee after I get up and before I get busy with the day's events. Today I have a hair appointment and finishing packing. It's going to be a really busy day. Love and hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteExactly the "Light " and how it create huge difference in the display of nature is so mesmerizing dear Louise: )
DeleteI am always captivated by morning and evening light .It is magical and transforming.
Best of luck for hair treatment my sweet friend Louise
Each time of the day is special in its own way. Even though my day has had some sad moments it has been a good day. I am now in my evening. I can ponder my day at my leisure and smile.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry dear Emma that your day had a sad part.
DeleteI pray and hope you feel better and recover soon my friend
Great analogy! But to follow it through, what is night time? I would say when we are not individual conscious beings, but merged with the universal energy, as in pre-birth and after death.
ReplyDeleteWow
DeleteYou nailed it beautifully dear Debra: )
I agree that despite we are considered alive during night our consciousness is awake and active collaborating with the divine wholeness.
Similarly death can be a condition when after freeing from physical prison our consciousness is liberated and dissolved into "divine wholeness " to heal and refresh
Baili u are such a deep thinker
ReplyDeletethanks Christine
DeleteI love the analogy here, Baili. You are so creative!
ReplyDeletethank you dear Marie ,i am glad i could entertain you with my simple thoughts and words
DeleteI like the term aging day. However, it's us who age. It seems faster and faster but each day is the same. Our mind is doing what it should. As we age the percentage of one day of our life when we are old is much less that the percentage of our day in youth compared to our whole life.
ReplyDeletethe feeling you shared here about being able to feel much active and alive as compare to youth dear Red is undeniable reality which we can't control
Deletebut one thing is in our hands and it is keep visiting the olden memories when we did not cease to live everyday to it's fullest .nor we have gave up until now and trying our best to take out essence of each day as much possible :)
because what matter actually how we "feel" end of the day
Age makes us more anxious, baili.
ReplyDeleteHappens to all of us.
Specially if and when we are happy.
Have a great week
and this anxiousness mostly comes from regret on past or worry about future dear Pedro
Deletewhen we learn to exist here with harmony with nature and her eternal principals which we can't change anyway
all we can do is making peace with it in which is true victory hidden
This is beautiful, Baili, and I see the comparison of a day with a lifetime. As I have aged, I now view life through that lovely, soft evening light. I see your analogy of everything being a reflection of the day that has passed, filtered through the atmosphere of time. I do understand that the days are coming to a close, and those connecting rays are so important. I feel an urgency to make peace with myself and my choices and actions in life, and pass on a legacy to my grandchildren. It's nice to feel like there are kindred spirits out there who are on the same journey. Thank you for sharing your lovely thoughts, Baili. Blessings and hugs xo K
ReplyDeletemy lovely and sweet friend Karen!
Deletethanks for honoring my words with your beautiful comment !
throughout the journey of the day which resemble journey of life completely "light" plays central roll in presenting things differently . this feels an exceptional realization when ponder upon carefully .Nothing in scenery is changed at all but only light that is thrown on it . which seems to describe that all that matters is our level of understanding regarding life and everything about it not the anything else .
how fortunate we can be to have a foresightedness an ability to see things that can possibly be in long run (which actually is really short one) .
we can keep our "innocence" saved and participate in life without getting entangled and lost in it's noisy crowed or without loosing our true essence of being a human.
That can protect us from the darkness of sham and regret when we approach to our evening of life and we are free and peace to enjoy last sip :)
you truly are an inspiration and beautiful soul to connect with my friend !
i feel blessed to meet you ,you all through blogging land dear friend! hugs and best wishes to you and precious loved ones!
Thought provoking Baili.
ReplyDeleteDid you know there is an Ageing International Day and it's on October 1.
to be honest i am not aware of "aging day" dear Margaret .but it is nice that we are trying to remember that "aging" is a reality and we should be careful about wasting time in running after useless things in life
ReplyDeleteI think of conciousness as energy and light. Then I think of how that reflects the nature of the world we live in.
ReplyDeletevery nicely put dear Cheri!
Deletei agree life is a bubble within the fabric of consciousness
Describing the aging process is well done. I think of dying as leaving the stage of life, walking into God's Arms. We walk off, and our descendants step up.
ReplyDeletethank you dear Susan !
Deletewhat you said about "death" brings tears of joy in my eyes :)
So beautifully written. These days I awake at 5 eager to get up since the sun is on it's way. Probably has to do with the daylight saving's time here. I do enjoy watching the beginning of the day. My morning are better for me than any other part of the day. By lunch I need caffiene althoug I usually don't allow myself to have any. I am better off just snacking through the day and having lots of caffiene free tea.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first read your title I thought of how I suddenly Aged last week. It was a peculiar thing. I was at work doing biblio work for our library system. Suddenly, I thought my hearing was gone and I felt so dizzy all I could hear was my heart beating so fast, but I kept focused and kept going. Of course, when I took I break I googled like crazy wondering what had happened. I was expecting the worst, but I guess it was just a panic attack. I hate when that kind of thing happens. All I can say, it definitely makes me feel so old.
Thanks for the wonderful post. Thanks for giving me a lot to think about. And in the comment you left me. I really do think men and women can remain friends. I remembered a boy that I went to school with who was the smartest boy in class with a bunch of sisters and a little brother. I was afraid I would never be smart enough to be his friend, but as usual, he was there to give me good advice, especially in music. Later, he helped me get a job at the university I attended. And even now we email each other frequently. Who knows, it might take several sisters and a mother.. to have a good brother.
a heartfelt thanks dear Ellie ! hearing such encouragement from a very nice writer like you is an honor !
Deleteaging is scary no doubt specially when it comes to get weak ,sick or dependent . please don't laugh but i seriously pray my God to take me while i am active physically as i don't want to be burden for my children at all.
reading about your panic attack made me afraid at beginning .indeed it is frightening to loose senses or any of them because this is how we know world and process to survive . i agree that such horrible panic attack can add to our age lot and instantly because of shock our brain experience meanwhile . i saw one of my aunt (mom's sister) gone older quickly ( within an year after her daughter left home ) and fell ill . she was considered among very lively and humorous people otherwise but she died right after one and a half year after the trauma . the mental shock pulled her down and her body could not survive under the command of weak brain who was distracted with so many worries sadly.
all we can do is to prepare our brain for such delicate situations because as human nothing else is in our hands. yoga calms mind and give us bit control on our thoughts .
special thanks for sharing how you have a friend who is male and this is it. this is sweet , i see it in rare movies as my outside observations are not much. but i have always asked my kids (i have boys only) to treat women how you want other men to treat women of your own family they are human just like you and this is it . I am thankful that both of my sons have friends who are females and those girls admire their nature whenever i get chance to meet them . i think this is the only success i wanted to have in my life as mother .our biggest earning in life is" trust" of others it is my faith !
Dear Baili, you do think deeply.
ReplyDeleteI will just say that no matter the day, no matter our age ... lets make everyday a good one.
Share some love and kindness.
All the best Jan
totally agree dear Jan :)
DeleteBeautifully written. You are an inspiration saying to take a moment to look around and see all the beauty lit up with the consciousness of our Being. All we are is consciousness and energy taking form in the material world and leaving this density when we pass to a "lighter" frequency.. About aging - heck at my age now in my 70's trash day pick up seems to come every four days compared to what really happens - every seven days. Can't imagine what it will be like when I'm even older.
ReplyDeletethank you dear Sandy for kind response !
ReplyDeleteyou said it so beautifully , when i at my 52 look at nature and everything around me or feel what exist within my body i realize exactly what you mentioned here awesomely !
as i exist within a divine pool of energy ,that is spread like vast endless and vibrating body of consciousness though it's density varies due to it's different form everywhere. it's thickness and vibration is diverse because of the "difference of it's nature which determines it's behavior whether visible through living or non living things. I agree that we humans are part of thick or dense part of the consciousness but how amazing and how beautiful that we also got a way to lighten up ourselves by taking travelling inwardly the inner path to "truth" :)
the phenomena of life and universe is most magical thing and i am thrilled to be part of it dear friend despite knowing i won't be able to understand even a bit of it i am grateful for whatever short break God has given me to experience this most beautiful life !
time seems to fly extremely quickly as we age ,i too feel that when last station is closer train seems to run faster but this is what i can't control so i enjoy the view passing by very swiftly and keep smile with gratitude because with though what if i was not given even this chance :)
hugs !!!!
oh yes, the silence inward and then the awareness as we do that more and more that the Divine Intelligence of it all is the platform of all life...I can't tell you how much more I see beauty these days in nature or even on instagram or elsewhere when people share their musical talents or whatever their talent may be, writing, painting ...it's all beautiful when they let that Love show through.
DeleteIndeed at this point of life with such longing for truth when we ponder carefully on the over all life 's vibration and beauty we are able to discover how deeply is connected and interdependent is everything here. This revelation liberate us from confinement of fragmented view of things and lead us to the divine peace of mind that comes with realization that we are drop floating in vast divine ocean of consciousness and despite having separate identity we are all One and related to each other.
ReplyDeleteIf consider Consciousness a Huge tree than "Creative Minds "are it's most prominent Blooms: )
