I love our planet in which we dwell. The nature around me, the cheerful chirping sound of the birds, to the melancholic voice of the cuckoos; The stillness of the water to its busy running streams, the swiftness of the air to its roaring thunder and striking lightening, to the merciful drizzling of the rain to heavy pouring. Everything is so captivating and amazing and that nature is indeed the most wonderful gift you and I have ever blessed with. It is truly an irreplaceable treasure that will be cherished forever.
Every time I step into my little backyard, I realised that there is always something new to discover even If I go to the same place again and again. Everything is so appealing and pleasing that i would always end up thinking of myself as a scientist of my own backyard as if I had discovered the whole hidden universe.
Researchers say there are tens of thousands plants species, zillion of little insects who are inhabitants of the same planet earth. Scientists say that there are about 2 billion insects. Isn't it jaw dropping to even know that these many exists? Or are you still thinking, what we see is only what we have?
The beauty of the nature is so bewitching even the dry fallen leaves will simply amaze us. Observe, observe and see how beautifully they have been made. Sometimes I ponder how amazing and meticulous our creator is, out of million to billion of different plants species, different shapes, sizes and structure of leaves are design specifically for each plant with different colours to shape and size. Isn't it mesmerizing?
The formation of structure of different species starting from tiniest insects to mammals like monkey, elephant, lion, human being... Etc The formation of different aquatic animals to its coral reef drives me crazy to fall for this beauty.
No wonder nature has a lot to offer and that really struck my thoughts because it is the only free gift that we gain from this materialistic world. Nature is truly a magnificent source of the creator.
I love spending time in my garden and though it might not be the perfect one, I still love it and would always end up studying in my backyard even during my exam. The trees, butterflies, beetles, worms, caterpillars and the insects and common plants which I noticed daily in my backyard is truly a treasures nowhere to be found. I do considered all the unexplored one from my backyard which is yet to be known as a hidden treasure to which it excites me more and more to venture them.
I love our universe, I will gaze at the stars during the time when it shine out in the sky, finding myself lying on the ground and looking at the constellation. But I come to realisation that closure home on earth there are so many things that are yet to discover.
So, here's an invitation to step out from your four corners and discover the nature that surrounds us and nourish them, by giving proper care, giving positive vibes as we get from them. For I know nature will never get enough to offer us, it's unlimited in giving but we need to value her worth, if not we will face the consequences.
Let us not take our mother nature for granted, for we will realise it's worth only when she's gone. Let us change our attitude, for this truly is a treasures.
