Holy Gratitude

From time to time I love exploring new few things concerning our galaxy, more specifically the stars and planets in all of their shapes, colors, and fixed movements. However, this is not because I am interested in the science of it, but much about the feeling that occupies me after knowing the greatness and the impact of it all. I believe one shall always be curious about the place he exists within, since being a part of something is a gift.

 I think the fact that all of us creatures are a part of a blue jewel floating in space called earth is something worth admiring. I admire many details just to feel the gratitude thriving inside of me, appreciating each creature, animate or inanimate.

 Did you know that two minutes before the sun hits our planet earth, it hits the planet Venus which is so hot that you could boil lead on the surface? and two minutes after, it hits Mars, and Mars is a frozen desert. One way or another, 120 seconds is all it takes to make all the difference, just to have enough amount of light to live and to sustain ourselves. What is important about this, is that it gives us a chance to admire and to think not only about how beautiful the earth is, but also how fragile it is.

 Personally, I wish for the chance to never let a sunrise go waste without admiration. Shades of different colors appear only within a couple of minutes, isn’t that amazing? As much as I honor its artistic view, I think it is my only purifying moment of the day. Briefly, it purifies the deepest corner of my soul, seeds a new vision for both my eyes, and greats my day with thoughts filled with gratitude. Sunrise is a friend of mine; loyal I would say. Not only do I get to feel extraordinary admiring it, but sometimes sunrise sees me carrying my heaviest thoughts. Usually, I find myself roaming around without honoring the lively moment in front of me waiting to be cherished to the fullest. But a friend would understand that right? because when it comes to me, I cherish the sunrise most when it is not at its brightest moment. The softest and weakest shades of both of us are what makes it special to me. So, it’s always going to be like this, the sun greats me every day and I promise it that I’ll shine as it keeps creeping over me.
