Mindfulness near me | Being Mindful

In search of Mindfulness near me I found mindfulness in the moment and realised being mindful is not a conscious act but being mindful is a state of presence.

Someone told me to be mindful of whatever I do or say. But while giving a thought to this simple line I thought that it’s one part that is missing from most of our lives. We say life is bad or boring or may be not good at all forgetting that while seeing the bigger picture we are definitely ignoring the beautiful detailing of the smallest of the things that completes our canvas. So to best explain this well I’ll use a novella.

This is one of the craziest stories of a little girl with a daydreamer’s head and a colorful heart. She was on her terrace alone lost in her own reverie as it used to be the only time which spent with herself alone away from her parents, schoolmates and her all time close partners –her books. It was around the rainy season of august, the air was filled with the sweet smell of after rain freshness. 

Being a plant lover and a keen gardener her terrace was lush green with all kind of marigold and roses, ferns and mosses. The most beautiful and favorite one of hers being the bamboo which grew from being just a thin stem to a family of bamboo bush, as she watered the plants everyday and watched them growing she fell in love with them more.

So while strolling alone on the terrace feeling the winds and staring at the all kind of shapes that formed in the sky, she noticed a swarm of dragon fly marching together towards the west to fight an unseen battle. Out of those one fell down on her terrace, injured. It had one of it’s wing damaged, it suffered a bit and took it’s last breath. She felt bad as if someone close to her died. She thought of resuscitating him but couldn’t do anything after all it was just an insect. She remembered what her mother told her about the dragon flies once when she got afraid of this tiny insect. Her mother said that, “these little insects have a reason to come during such rainy humid season"

It’s after the rain only that the water gets stagnated everywhere and then various insects good or bad are born. These small tiny creatures feed on the larvae of mosquitoes that later on tend to spread nasty disease like dengue, so you see they are just like our soldiers who protect us from the enemies”. Her heart soared that the dragon fly won’t be able to complete its mission. In order to pay respect to this unheard hero she decided to bury the dragon fly on her terrace in one of her flower pot. She chose her favorite one and buried it in the home of bamboo family and used two thin bamboo stick to mark it’s grave. She paid the due respect to the fly by offering marigold and rose flowers from her terrace garden.

But how does this piece of novelette solves the problem of not being mindful
There are a lot of small things around us that we tend to ignore or rather don’t even exist for us on planet earth, but that’s the actual part of being mindful. Being in the moment is being mindful.
So hey, just wake up your life is not empty, it’s got a lot of shades of yellow, pink and green. Once you notice them well you’ll see how the sword of magic moves and what goes around comes around.
