On the way in a recent domestic flight
scheduled for the evening, I was witness to a celestial spectacle from my
window seat.
We have always marvelled at nature's
creations on earth - mountains, plains, rivers, waterfalls and the like. What
above the ones above the earth? Between
space and earth? 35,000 feet above?
Clouds of white, with the sun shining
brightly, appeared in varied shapes and sizes, giving a surreal feel to
existence at that height. Cotton candy. Balls of cotton......... wait..........bales
of cotton! At places, clouds were looking like whipped cream and at certain
other places, disturbingly, like the mountain of dust after a nuclear test.
The shapes were ever changing. Contrasting
with the azure of the evening sky, it was a sight to behold!
As if this was not enough, this happened.......Twilight.
The best part of the day. The colour of the sky at the horizons changed from light
and bright yellow, shades of dull and bright orange, red and pink. The varied
patterns contrasting with the reflections on the clouds. What a panoramic vista
it was!
It just sunk this in me....while the Gods
create on earth, up above, they play!
