have been wanting to blog bout this really inspiring incident during my recent aust trip, but i've put it off till now. in summary, i took a guided tour at the botanics in perth with my dad. it's spring time there and they were having their annual wildflower festival, which was super pretty. all the flowers were in bloom, and in vast qtys. so that it really looked like a colourful sea of flowers. we joined one of the guided tours with about 15 other pple. everyone was busy admiring e flowers and taking photos, and amidst e crowd i saw this dark skinned man wearing sun glasses and walking with a stick. and like e rest he'll stop at each flower, go close to it, finger it and look thoughtful. so i didn't thing v much bout him, it was after all, an extremely bright and sunny day too. then when i was walking in front of him, he 'blatantly' stepped on my heal and didn't seem to think v much of it. i then realized he cldn't see! suddenly i cldn't understand why he wld even come for a tour like this, when e point is to admire e flowers.. but i realized that this man had seen beyond his limitations and was fully able to appreciate the little wonders of nature and the beauty of the small things in life. i can't quite express it, cos when i first saw e flowers, i was really amazed with how pretty they were, but it's even more amazing that someone who can't see can be equally mesmerized with the flowers as i was! (confusing sentence isn't it). and to make this whole incident even more 'beautiful', the lady who had brought him on this excursion, helping him along the whole way, patiently guiding his hand to feel the correct part of the flowers, was a white lady (u can't deny that segregation is still prevalent in society right..)yup, so that was my inspiring incident of the trip.
sch has started and unfortunately i'm not too inspired by it. when there are so many pple ard and u still feel lonely, when u try and u fall short of expectations, when the question of whether this is really e right course creeps into your mind...
