I had just started running in my hometown and it had been years since I had done so. Alot of thoughts cross my mind while I go for my morning runs. One such was the fact that I loved doing it in the wee hours so that I can feel the warmth on my face before seeing the sun, especially in the cold winter. Yesterday, I was too busy thinking about my life during my run that I almost missed the opportunity to give the rising sun in front of me, a big smile for being there. I was thankfully reminded by the person in front of me who was in his morning walk when he suddenly extended his hands and did a 'surya namaskar.' It was the first time I had seen someone do that in the middle of the road. I could feel his heartfelt reverence to the sun and felt a connection to him and how I felt about it. It was the appreciation for the little things that make up our lives. And realized that no matter where I go in life, my surya is a reflection of someone else's surya.
