We can't notice outside if we can't be present. Time flies. Browsing photos in the past, the moments collected are the ones I was present in those moments.
Hot summer day, a gentle gust of wind passed through the house, pushing the green curtain with a picture of bamboo up and down like dancing in the wind. The weather was hot, and we didn't have air conditioning. The bamboo curtain brought a cooling feeling while watching it play with the wind. There was no sound, just the wind sweeping across. That moment of that Sumer afternoon, I had a dialog with nature.
Although reluctant to go out in hot weather, my curiosity about getting something to read led to my way to a small library from my mom's business. My favorites were the magazines showing colorful pictures around the world, which were too popular to get. That day, the magazine was so new that it still had the fresh smell of ink. That was the moment of sensing the surroundings and enjoying learning something new.
The weather was freezing cold. I took a bus with my parents to go downtown. It was a holiday, if I remember right. Everyone outside was wearing their new winter clothes and enjoying the holiday spirit. Passing by the bamboo park, I saw a beautiful lady standing there waiting for someone. It might be a date for her that day. She wore a boot and a lovely jacket, slim and elegant. How attractive she was! That moment of discovering beauty mixed with a little bit of jealousy was a genuinely emotional moment.
Staying in my room, quiet and peaceful, I'm writing down these words. Time passing. The dawn is approaching. Listen. It's the sound of cars. Many have started their busy day. Breath. Fresh air. Deeply satisfied lung returns with, "yes, this feels great." Feel. The touch of the keyboard let me flow my understanding of nature to the words in this article. It's a moment of now when things are evitably changing, but I have the luxury to save a piece here when I connect with nature.
Take a moment to discover the change happening around. Every moment comprises the life we are living in.
