This Thing Called Magic

This Thing Called Magic....
Magic in life is conjured by the tiny little things. The smell of the earth after it rains, the shifting of seasons, the fulfilling feeling of being part of a family, butterflies in the stomach on seeing that special someone, a vacation away from home, the taste of mom's cooking, hanging out with friends and doing nothing, coffee and snacks at midnight, being so engrossed in a book that any track of time is lost, watching our favourite movie for the millionth time but still laughing and crying like a baby: aren't these the very things that make life beautiful and aren't they simply magical? It is true what they say: God is indeed in the details.

Being Awake


I was just "stumbling" through the net when I came across this beautiful image. Come to think of it, these words are so profound and relevant. Isn't it said that we all have God inside us? Then what make us go ungodly? People may say that God does not exist, and that we are only human beings and will always continue to be so. But, wasn't Lord Buddha born a human, a mere mortal like us? How did he immortalize himself, then? Why is it that centuries after his leaving the earth's surface, he continues to live in our thoughts? Did he come across some magic? Maybe he blackmailed God(who is God?) into giving him the status of a God? No. He woke up. The truth is, God is inside us. He is inside all of us. We just need to wake up and open our eyes to Him.
Be awake!

    Isn't it? Ignorance is like a weed that has turned the green of our civilization dark brown, with its suffocating presence. Our senses need to be awake. We need to be aware of ourselves.
