This is a roadside scene that Anna and I have been watching for one r month now. It is a transition season now here to summer with the day temperature scoring to 37 degrees celsius as of today. These orange coloured bougainvillea flowers look even more brighter in this high temperature.
The gardener who keeps in touch with me reminded me the other day that it is the summer heat which makes some plants thrive with good yield.
He was referring to Mango trees which normally blossom now and bear fruits in May, at the height of Summer.
All the three casehew nut trees have blossomed in our garden but not the seven mango saplings!
All the three casehew nut trees have blossomed in our garden but not the seven mango saplings!
So trees with flowers and others without the flowers!
The parable of the gardener that Jesus of Nazareth spoke about tells the choice of the gardener to cut it down because it did not bear fruit. But he decided to wait after taking care of it even more!
This applies to relationships. Some relationships do not seem to bring any returns after lot of efforts!
To do little more to revive it is the corollary. But we can let it be and move on as well!
What builds a relationship is mutuality! A one sided giving or receiving relationship is only utilitarian.
