On the same 7 hour trip I had mentioned in the previous post, I had spent over an hour watching the setting sun actually set behind the curtain of clouds.
I neednt say it was beautiful and captivating.
The curtain of clouds I have to say added to the beauty. In reality, I had mistaken the vast expanse of clouds to be a lake with the reflection of the sunset. Truly I had been decieved by nature. It was only when I recollected that there were no lakes this route did I realise my folly.Nature humbling us to think that the nature many of us have taken for granted can outsmart you in less than a minute.
A cloud, its so fickle. It doesnt exist in solid form yet from a distance, we believe it does.Nature asking- how many times do we,people do that with other things in our life?
The clouds divided the sunset into 2 bits. From above the clouds there was light- bright and yellow (not golden
)From below there was darker light a sort of crimson red expanding. Nature reminding us of two sides of a coin perhaps? Everything has its positives and negatives, its dark side and the lighter side.
The gaps in the clouds giving a sneak peek into the light sky reminded me of the world beyond. I dont know if I believe in the concept but it definitely struck me. Im always surprised as to how small we humans would look if the clouds could see. We make such a small part of Earth and yet make so much noise about it?
Another thing which struck me was how close the sun and the clouds seemed. The sun which symbolises heat and light and the clouds which represent coolness and shade were there complimenting each other. Why cant we humans manage to co-exist with people who seem so different from ourselves?
Apart from that those thoughts, I spent more than half an hour doing one of my favourite childhood pass times of making people and objects out of clouds and telling myself a story with the people and objects I found in the sky. Much fun it was and i cant wait to do it again!
PS- Im not sure if these thoughts were a result of some philosophical side of me which im yet to acknowledge or out of boredom! Whatever the case, the thoughts made sense and proved to occupy quite a lot of my time
