Then we walk on...and discover that there are more people standing and walking in small groups here and there...and then i realise something even stranger, my feet was so cold , almost numb, coz i was walking on snow !!! and again i scream ..."its snow !! in MOON ???? i couldnt even smile as its totally unbelievable but who cares !! you are walking on a snowy moon ...could you possible ask for anything else in your life ??!
So i walk around still amazed , astonished and yet indulged in the beauty of it ...i remember seeing the dark and scarily neverending space against the snowy white moon and suddenly this calmness engulfs me...i am not shocked or even excited anymore, just in awe ...totally immersed in the beauty of the moon and space around me.
So immersed that i forgot where i came from...the Earth....i wasnt looking for it...i just enjoyed every bit of the moon and then the funny moment comes where my friends and i found a secluded snowy area where there were no other people around and decided it would be the best place to snap some pictures !! hahaha...hmm i dont think i thought of uploading it on FB or Blogs...but just for myself :)
So, we snapped a few pictures and all of a sudden we snapped ourselves back to earth...! And only then ....i realised that i did not get a glimpse of the EARTH while i was at the MOON....i regretted it, and said to my friends ..." oh no, we forgot to look at the Earth, the magnificent blue crystal which we always see on photos or videos in documentaries...how could i miss such a thing ?? i was quite upset partly coz i knew it was my once in a life time opportunity to see earth from the moon and i missed it...
Then, i woke up ...of course :):)
It was about 6.45 am , and i just laid on my bed not wanting to open my eyes as i did not want the image of the snowy moon to go away...i imagined it again and again...recalling everything i saw , felt and experienced it as precisely as possible.
It was just then it dawned on me....how easily we are deceived by beauty , though the earth is the most beautiful thing in the universe and yet the moment we see something new , we forget to even look back ! And knowing that it was the most precious moments given to be on moon and to have a view of the earth...yet we forget ...we just take it for granted and waste time in unnecessary excitement and indulgence which blurs our vision of the most beautiful thing waiting to be discovered right before our eyes !!
It made me realise, that we are always looking at the wrong places for happiness...its not about running around and looking for happy spots, its about standing still , focused and looking beyond !! If only i stood at one place and looked...i would have seen the earth effortlessly ! And the view of Earth would have been a thousand times more amazing then the plain white moon and yet i missed it !
Yes , of course it was just a dream...but you dont dream such things every night ! that dream could have been my one and only chance to experience and see the earth from the moon ! and i missed it !! why...because i was too excited , puzzled , and indulged in everything that was around me!
So, lesson learnt !!!!
Stay where you are, be focused and look beyond yourself...there you will find the most amazing thing called life !! in other words....MEDITATE ! Something which ive been attempting but not getting it yet....but i will keep trying , and when i finally get to see the magnificent blue crystal ....i will share the experience with you :)
erm...wish me luck ! please !!!!!
Anyway, it was quite an experience being on moon ! will NEVER forget this dream in my life ! Always admired the full moon , and wandered how might it be to be there ...( but i swear i nvr imagined it to be snowing !! )
hmmm...so, dreams do come true ! :):)
Browsed the net for a picture closest to what i saw...and here it is...this is almost like it where i was walking around.. :)
