How exciting it is to have the internet connection back after almost a month! One disadvantage of being in a rural area, where support services are not so well developed!
It is hot sometimes the mid day temperature soaring to 42 degree celsius. There are few drizzling days towards the evening. On one such evening, while walking through our backyard garden, I noticed this orchid in full bloom without showing any sign of the summer heat!
They are supposed to bloom where they are planted! They choose to do so!
During our three years of being here, Anna and I are learning all the time about the mystery of nature!
The creation story for many is fictional, but as I see such ecstatic and exceptional flower blossoms, I feel drawn by the Biblical story of creation. 'Everything came into being because God created them'.
One thing is even more mysterious! It is during the summer months these orchids are eminently coloured!
As we behold this mystery, it resounds within our hearts a joyful chorus of thanksgiving for having been given all that we need to live joyfully! Sometimes it is when we are in an intense hostile environment, we discover our residual inner strength !
