perfect antithesis


An unplanned encounter with a little flamboyant kingfisher on my way to work this morning…simply made my day!  As the day graciously walks into evening, the experience of spotting the bird seems nature’s way of reiterating its kaleidoscopic glory in a hurrying life. In its bright plumage, the bird perched resplendently on an electricity cable as if it were a branch, thereby brushing off the complexities of human creation. Unaffected by the chaos below, it conversed amiably with doves around. Its simplicity and detachment amidst spirals of routineness impelled me to leisurely admire the palette of alluring romantic hues it carried on itself in contrast to its dagger-like beak and alerting tail. And as I close my eyes to picture it again… my soul sees a scattered resemblance in the being of that bird...a perfect antithesis!
