What's more beautiful than the smiles of your loved ones? I
wish I can make a song of these beautiful reflections of their emotions. Or
paint a mural to portray how flowery my heart is while looking at these pretty
images. The blooming of happiness in the realm of nature is a source of renewal
to our exhausted soul.
Once in a while, I do feel like wanting to be connected to Mother
Nature. A walk past the trees recharged my body and washed away all the
insecurities, perplexities, and negative thoughts. A fresh breeze of air was
nothing other than soothing and relaxing. A deep breath consoled the buried
conflicts in the heart. A natural therapy of healing. Looking around and seeing
their happy faces, pretty smiles, together with the magical scent of rain, I
praised Allah for His beautiful creations.
Lutfi held little Rai in his arms, introducing him to every
eye-catching flowers and trees. Najihah, my sister in law, just couldn’t stop
enchanting little Rai with her big smile. Me? I followed them around with my
Nikon and tried to capture the still moments that projected precious moments or
timeless emotions. Well, that Nikon is not exactly mine. It belongs to my
husband as a birthday gift from me. Sounds like taking back what has once been
given. Nevertheless, I think I have captured enough to remind myself on how
beautiful my life is. I am lucky to have my husband on my side most of the
time. I shall be an ever more loving mama to my son. I am grateful for all the
wonderful blessings granted by Allah.
I think all of us need a little time for renewal. Find your
source of happiness and reflect yourselves. In Malay, we call this muhasabah diri.
Love,
The Vintage Magic
