Someone showed us GOD!

Yesterday while photographing the moon I was reminded of an incident which happened a few months back. It was a full moon night and scientists had predicted something about it being the largest and brightest of the decade (or was it century??)Sudipto and I were aiming for a healthier lifestyle then and used to take evening walks near the park area. So as we were briskly walking and talking, a man came from the opposite direction and suddenly stopped right in front of us and asked , "Do you believe in God?, now I clearly believed he was drunk or maybe a guy from some shoddy marketing company trying to trap us to join some chain business, so anyways my 6th sense advised me to be ready for some hard hitting action. Sudipto calmly replied, "No". The man was determined to put the faith in us and he asked again, "Have you seen God?", to which Sudipto firmly replied, "No". The man was unfazed. By this time I was pretty sure that this guy is upto something, something unpleasant when suddenly he pointed at the sky behind us and said, "There he is".... and WOW.... simply WOW....what a sight...The moon in full bloom, an orangish yellow beauty. I was completely spellbound. I could understand what that guy must have felt like. He must have seen it for quite a while when walking in our direction and had to share the feeling with someone. Couldn't blame him! After a few frozen moments of cherishing the beauty we returned to reality and thanked the man for showing us the wonderful sight.We resumed our evening walk but didn't speak. Maybe we were still overwhelmed by the beauty of the moon.This also made me think that in our fast paced life if we just stop for a moment and look at the World around us, there is so much to cherish, so many things to captivate our thoughts, so much beauty to appreciate but only if we Stop , See and Think!
