Small Little Good Things




My phone screen says 5:59 am and my mind is restless. I wake up with a thud witnessing an upsetting nightmare. It feels absolutely terrible and it makes me feel paralyzed-- I cant do anything about it. I mean, I sleep and I have a bad dream (dreams are your own mind's games) and I wake up with this feeling lingering, I try to search for somebody who is awake at this hour and speak to them. And there, I find a very close friend, but it doesn't relieve me. I hear my dogs barking. I think they might me barking at a bird, they'll stop. But they don't. Four dogs, barking together in different pitches. I decide to get up and see whats bothering them.


I open the door and my basset hound looks at me with his droopy eyes, I don't wake up early so perhaps he hasn't been expecting me. I can really say dogs have expressions and I can read how excited he grows to see me. I walk further outside to see the sun rise. And it looks beautiful as ever. Tranquil rays falling over the earth and the glimmering sun peeping from out of the horizon. The colours merge remarkably. It has been raining since the past two days. Right now, it isn't. The grass is wet and so are the plants around. The breeze I breathe in, is so refreshing. A big pink flower with five rounded petals; that I don't know the name of, falls directly in my hair and settles near the ear. I look at my reflection in the car's glass, that is parked in my porch. I see a young girl with her hair falling freely on her shoulders and a flower ornated in the cascade of her hair. I smile brightly, the girl looks prettier.. Two of my tiny Yorkshire terriers come running like toys to the garden outside where I am standing. Their hair flowing as they gallop with their tiny limbs. Behind them is the eldest of all my pets, my Boxer, walks towards me casually yawning and expressively coaxes me to take him for a walk.




I suddenly realise, I've forgotten all about my dream, I don't even remember it too well. I look up at the sky feeling so good that I decided to get out of my bed and come out to spend some time with Nature, I thank the Creator. There's immense power in His Small Little Good Things!
