The Clouds Are So Beautiful

about an hour ago, i looked up at the sky from my kitchen when i was waiting for my mother to do her stuff at the kitchen sink. it was evening, and the sun was setting. i saw something which was absolutely normal, but which surprised me. i saw the clouds moving across the sky.
is that shocking? no. it was just surprising to me. because, i have almost forgotten the fact that, clouds can move with the pushing of the wind. i am not joking. maybe, more accurately speaking i did not think about such a fact. the last time i actually saw the clouds moving was so long ago.
every morning, i rush to work, and then i come home. at home i do my own stuffs. study, playing games, writing story, chatting. at work, of course i work, and write my own story during my spare time. work, play sleep. work, play, sleep. weekend. either i make use of it by going out with my friends or i just take a rest a home. i allow myself 9 hours of sleep on saturdays.
i did not notice the natural world very much. even when i look up at the sky, maybe it would be to see if the rain is coming. many of you are like that too, right? we are always so busy with our own things, we forget to stop to see and appreciate what is around us. hmm, is there anyone i want to slam today, or is there anything i want to teach today? not really.
but maybe, if you have the time, stop for a while. enjoy your surroundings. don't get too caught up in your work. because, as we all know, we cannot see when is the end of our lives. maybe, i will die later, or tomorrow, one month later, one year later. who knows? maybe, if you spend 5 minutes everyday appreciating the creation of God, you would find something new. you might see something you never saw before. or you might get closer to God.
when is the last time you saw the clouds moving?
