visible yet hidden lessons of nature

I wanted to stay back in Pune today to enjoy rains as Delhi has been dry for most of the monsoon this year, Since I had no option to stay back I decided  to enjoy monsoon the way it comes on my way back to Delhi. If we are willing to keep our eyes open and are ready to learn we would realise that Nature has a lot to teach. Fast pouring water looked nice on window glass and I enjoyed the noise of thunder, its then that I realised what Delhi was actually missing. It was obviously difficult for the city farmers but is was a different kind of loss for nature lovers. After take off I kept peeping outside the window at right hand side to see clouds and I could primarily notice was that its evening and dark now. It was after few moments that I looked towards my left and was amazed to the lovely amber, yellow and red color of sunset, there were shades of orange and I possibly can't define each of them. It was no less than a color scale. While viewing the scene for as long as it existed and admiring it silently in my mind I thought what a way of nature to admit that light and dark both moments move along, positive and negative both always exist in all scenarios, its up to us to decide what we want to acknowledge and entertain. Once I started looking towards the painting that colors created I never wanted to look back at the dark while it equally existed. After the light was gone, I just chose to continue with my regular routine.
