A flower provides!



One of the fascinating outcomes of walks  through the wooded parts of a garden is the rare sights that can give new insights !

As I kept watching this unusual sight of flowers in an otherwise barren tree with no leaves, the honey sucker flew in for its feed of honey!

A flower feeds a bird!

I was on a morning walk, after sighting another interesting phenomenon! Two dogs were sharing its meal of bones! I have often seen one dog chasing the other for a bone. This was therefore a contrast!

The nature is a story teller of its interdependent eco-system. Although there is a lot of power struggle  for dominance and control, there is a lot of giving and receiving between all the living!

This is the way of living ordained for all created beings! There is provision for everyone and we are called to live out the calling, 'freely we have received, freely we shall give'!

There are the privileged and the disadvantaged! This continues to worry us because, violence, terrorism, enmity and fighting arise out of this disparity! The privileged owe a lot to the disadvantaged! When a three years old boy gave me his chocolate when he came for a consultation, which he likes so much, he was giving it away  to share his love!
