A flower is for others !


I have watched the three buds for over a week now! One has blossomed and the other two would also open soon!

It is the flower which reveals the potential of the buds and what they shall become!

The flower makes a self disclosure on behalf of all the buds in the plant!

In a week from now, there would be the ceremonial washing of the feet in many churches on the Maundy Thursday, remembering Jesus of Nazareth who washed the feet of His followers during the last supper! Jesus revealed His attitude and attention in that act of ceremonial washing!

His was an attitude of service and attention of thoughtfulness!

Who we are, is being communicated through our self disclosures of attitude and behaviour! Each of our actions or reactions constitute the self disclosure. I felt that I was not kind enough to my colleagues yesterday, as I reflected over my conversation with them in the morning! 

Stay in touch with what we think, do, and communicate! It shall bring healing to ourselves and others! A flower is for others! Make the self disclosure of service and thoughtfulness in our conversations and relationships!
