Those Cherished Walks....

Getting back to the track after long for those evening walks was so refreshing and pleasant experience. Somehow I like my walks... as that's the time when I am only with myself. That some time in the natural surroundings with greenery all around, I don't like to think of my work n work pressures at all. Nor does I like to ponder over the uncertain future. But that is the time when I am most contemplative too.
From some time now, walks had also been too mechanical. Like that too some sort of work to be finished in that given time, and then straight rushing to another work. Few days back, I just took a break after that routine spiritless walk was over and sat there on a bench, weather was pleasant, and cool breeze was blowing. Fountain was running in front of me, and it was quite peaceful around. In those very few minutes I inhaled the serenity to the core and rejoiced those moments purely.
And there and then, in those few moments I realized how automated n monotonous I ve made my life. The word enjoying life has taken a different meaning in my daily routine. Have lost somewhere those carefree jovial days when outings were a delight, only for pleasure, and used to be energizing and refreshing. And then I decided I want to relive n rejuvenate my life, indulging in all those small small pleasures. Sitting idle and just admiring and enjoying nature, How badly I wish to go to hills, to waterfalls, to overflowing powerful rivers, listening the sound of flowing water.... Oh My God.... Nature is so beautiful,,,, and there is so much to explore !!!
