We all live under one sky...

This one is a quickie. I was just looking at some old photos on my computer and saw this photo of The Eternally Blue Sky, taken somewhere in Mongolia.

it looks like a drawing, doesn't it? so beautiful...

While I was looking at this photo, there were many thoughts in my head. People say that everything is alright, as long as you have this wide sky above you, and I totally agree with it. Usually everyone is too buried under they problems, everyday fights, stress and other depressive thoughts, and people forget, in what a beautiful world we live in. So next time you start to feel like you are too tired and sick of everything, take a deep breath and just watch the sky for a minute, and then the magic will begin :)
In ancient times people in Mongolia didn't know about Buddha, or Jesus, or Mohamed, instead they believed that they are children of the Sky. I'm not saying we should convert our views to Tengerianism, of course, but we should be thankful for this endless sky below us.
There is a very famous Mongolian poem, called "Be like the Sky" by O.Dashbalbar. It starts like this:
"If everyone curses at you, be like the sky!
If they say you are the kindest person, be like the sky!"
Sorry for bad translation, but you get the point. The poem is indeed a masterpiece, try reading it sometime (if you know mongolian, of course :)
So no matter how difficult the situation is, or how busy you get, just be like the sky.
I wish you all to find your own piece of a peaceful (no pun) sky...
