Nature's Hug

Last night I set my alarm at 6:30AM so that I can go to the sea early morning. The seashore is just 5 minutes walk from where we live. Walking by the park, the grasses & trees are still wet from the water sprinklers and the air is cold. It is now the middle of December, christmas is just 2 weeks away. The green trees and grasses, the blue calm waters of the sea, and the refreshing cool breeze are powerful medicine for the body and the spirit. Last week I suffered from physical and emotional pains, my family is far away and I have no one to hug. Life in UAE is sometimes terribly lonely. We all left our families in our home country, came here to live and work alone.

The days are moving fast. It seems like we are racing. We are racing against time and against each other. "Quickly, you are late, or else you are responsible for any delay..." - these are our favorite lines at work. So we run because everyone else is running. Because of this frantic environment, our health often gets physically and emotionally sacrificed. Most of the people I work with, get sick but still they get up and face their laptops and reports. For 6 days a week we kept running.  And if sometimes we make it, what is the price? Of course, for money,   career, and more money.
