Today I left for the jungle exactly at 4.12 a.m. It was too early. The sun was not visible. I reached the jungle a few minutes before 5 a.m
I didn't wander in the jungle. Instead, I climbed the hillock to enjoy the sunrise from there.
I sat down on a rock waiting for the sunrise.
And finally that moment came. I saw a big, orange orb rising slowly from the horizon. The view was simply exquisite.
I kept watching the rising sun for a few minutes. It all was simply divine
.
The daylight was making the jungle and the surroundings visible.
I came down from the hillock and left for home.

Thank you. Don't you have a hillock somewhere near your place?? If you have one, you can enjoy it there.

There are lots of hills near us but none we really go and visit.

Thank you, my friend. It was a divine experience. I don't have words to describe it properly. Simply wonderful. That's how I can describe it.

Thank you. I don't take my phone with me lest I might drop it somewhere while climbing trees or wandering in the jungle. Otherwise I would have captured it in my camera.

Oh! That sounds wonderful. I could actually visualize the beauty as you described it. I wish I lived in a place so close to natural beauty. It's a divine blessing to stay in such place.

Thank you for responding to the post.
I go to the jungle every morning. But never before I had thought of viewing sunrise that was at the heart of the jungle.
Today also I couldn't describe the experience properly as I was busy watching the exit polls of the five assembly elections.
It was a divine experience. Simply divine. My mind was calm as I was watching the red- orange coloured orb rising slowly from the horizon. I forgot everything around me.
The jungle is five kms from my house.
