I have been viewing the Indian English channels in the TV during the last few days since the earth quake in Nepal. The news is crowded with devastation, crime, violence, corruption, high handedness, political authoritarianism, etc. It appeared to me that the news can drown anyone into hopelessness. I wish the TV channels will also have features which would upbuild people with stories that touch and move us! Even the entertainment is largely movie centred, which highlights a culture of instant gratification!
What I saw this morning when I went for the morning walk brought much cheer to my spirit! The tender shoots in the mango tree! It looked moistened with drops of water in the drizzle of the night! It is assailing which we planted a year back, which announces its presence by sending out shoots all the time!
We are called to be messengers of hope and communicators of life as a springboard into fullness and purpose!
There were scores of larvae thriving on the leaves of this mango sapling and metamorphose into cocoons until recently, when the plant looked bare with only the fibrous strands of the leaves. But when the butterfly breeding season is over, the plant is back to its original vigour of life!
There is an eternal spring of hope! It is this that feeds us with inspiration for daily life!
