WATER DROPS ON THE LOTUS LEAF

I have been watching the waterdrops on the lotus leaves since childhood; in awe! The waterdrops are on the leaf, but they do not wet the leaf. They sometimes break into more droplets of water. Then when her basking in the sun is over- the painted sky, surrounding trees, and flowers reflecting from her body- the waterdrop suddenly rolls on the ground; like the moment, like life. ‘Life is like a water drop on the lotus leaf.’

I don't want to think too deeply about all these things. I just want to remember the sky, the trees and the flowers that reflected in the waterdrops of the lotus leaves. I want to remember the dancing light of dawn and that dragonfly.
