The silence of the morning!





Having had to trim and prune the tall trees with large branches and thick foliage, to prevent damage to trees during the forthcoming monsoon season, there is silence around our cottage early n the morning! The bird songs are not heard for the last one week! We normally got up listening to the cacophony of the morning!

This is the third time in the last five years since we live in this cottage we noticed the disappearance of the birds from the garden following the trimming of trees!

We still have to find a balance to stay eco-freindly and bird friendly! 

How terrible we feel now, when we sense that our one act has bruised the birds, making them stay away from us!

Is there a message in this for human relationships! It is a call to do what we do, mindful of how it would impact others!
