Everyday while returning from school I am struck by the way in which the rays of the sun creates magic. 

Rays on the water of the lakes......a dim sheen on the surface of water...I see it from a distance as the car speeds over the flyover and the bridge over the lakes.

Rays on the tarred roads....... a shining surface , the rays bounce off the surface sometimes blinding us with its glare.

Rays falling on the silky hair of a young girl....a wonderful sight...seeing a shampoo ad live...

Rays on the eyes of a child looking up at his mother......eyes crinkling filled with  mischief ...shining with pure love.....

Rays on the torn clothes of a beggar.....the holes in his clothes look enlarged ...and my guilt gets magnified.

Rays on the ear ring of a small girl.......making it shine like a diamond.

Rays on the gold bangle of a woman......looks like molten gold.

Rays on the leaves of the trees......the leaves flutter in the breeze playing with the rays...it's a game of hide and seek.

Rays on the face of an old man ....they seem to fill up the wrinkles on his face with more warmth.

Rays on the shining coat of a golden retriever.....makes me want to run my hands through it.

Rays on the happy faces of home going school children....looking happy to run away from studies.

Rays on the shining cars.....makes me wonder how there were so many new cars in this city where we had only Ambassadors....at one point of time.

Rays on the water dripping from the hands of a mason...makes me think ..is it water or sweat ..running like water ?

Rays of the setting sun on the top of the buildings ......they magically transform all the cracks ...peeling paint ... the exposed bricks .... into one whole beautiful painting with slashes of crimson and gold with generous brushes of grey and pink.. God's way of reminding us that He is the true painter of our lives.
