Unrevealed to us, the universe is working for us. Like master chefs will have you bite into something bitter before bringing in a sweet savoury, life will spin out the worst - only to balance it out in mysterious ways. It’s my firm belief that if we are open with all our senses to our inner beings and the world outside, we will capture the subtle genuflection of the universe’s grace. It could be the sudden advent of an astringent odour from childhood, it could be the perfect amalgam of rain and a heart-aching tune coming out from a window, it could be the touch of a hand as you feel an evening’s loneliness grow in you, it could be a flower crumbling and falling in front of your eyes almost crying “Witness me”. And we see this, and we absorb it all, and immediately put it into a context as minutiae which gives us intimations of the universe. And we are not alone, with our grief, our struggle, our desires, our disappointments. We are no longer alone. Our hidden sorrow is counterbalanced by a secret smile, our emptiness is filled by the fullness of someone’s joy bursting to fill the world. Even in the worst of the times, we need to have the explorer mind, because riches abound in the world, and are often found at the precipice of arduousness and the inflection point of ardor. The universe balances everything out. If you liked this poem, consider listening to these other poems on how life often means stopping to experience it:
