Blooming Lilies

Yesterday evening while strolling in my garden I noticed some lily buds in one of the sections of my garden. Little green buds just waiting to bloom. I thot that they'll take at least 2 to 3 days to blossom. They were were happily swaying in the wind. Teasing me, saying "u'll have to wait a little while more, to see us blossom. Not so fast, not so fast." I just smiled and thot "I'll wait. Don't ya worry."


Then, today morning (6 A.M) when I got up, I went outside. Just for a little walk, some stretching, some thinking, and some pondering. What was the first thing I noticed in the garden? I saw some 20 lilies were about to blossom. Their petals had only slightly open. They hadn't blossomed fully till now. They looked so beautiful. They looked so pretty. They looked so pure. They had little dew drops on them. The dew shining in the soft light of the sun. It was sheer bliss, watching them. I wish I had taken their picture. I admired them and then went inside after a while.


At 9 A.M. I, again, went outside with the sole purpose of seeing the lilies. By this time they had blossomed fully. Pretty white lilies and that also so many of them. Looking at them was a treat to my eyes and my mind. When I looked at them, I felt so peaceful. Like there is just this moment of purity and naturalness and nothing else to dilute the moment. Thank you pretty white lilies to give me such a moment of exhilaration.


Just love the "The pretty white lilies."Can't wait for more of them to blossom!!!
