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.

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.

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.
