Today, a giant water pillar was observed in the offshore of Singapore. In the whole 15 minute period, 3-4 such pillars appeared. The average diameter of the pillar is 50 meter, and they can move on the ocean surface at 150 km/hr. According to meteorologist, sever weather condition usually follows the appearance of these kind of pillars.
There is an interesting story behind this natural phenomenon in my childhood. When I was a kid (8~10), my aunt told me that she had experienced a miracle at a beach nearby her house. She was a teenage girl back then. One day, when collecting fish and shrimp at the beach, she saw a similar water pillar erected right in front of her eye. My poor aunt was scared to death, dropping all her collections and running straight back to home. Later some senior members in out family explained that was the dragon drinking water from the sky, and it was really her luck to witness this process. The senior even teasing my aunt that she is gonna have good luck all year round. Convinced by the senior's story, my aunt was relieved and started to feel good about the incident.
Years after that, the water pillar in my aunt's memory might still because of the dragon living in the heaven. To her, what matters is there is an unanswered myth living inside her heart, which keeps her wondering about the nature and lives of others. It's not a bad thing to believe in a myth or two. After all, we can't answer all the questions we have about the universe. Just don't give up wondering because you don't know. Often times it's the unknown elements in your mind that bears miracles in your life.
