This is a nesting time for many birds. I set out to look for nests in the CMC Vellore college campus while Anna and I were staying in the Alumni house for a few days.
I looked out for the hollow in the trunk of trees, which often is used by birds to nest. While some gaping holes looked empty, one of them had twigs placed on it and another had a baby owl !
It was an evening hour and most birds would return to their nests before it is dark!
Yes the birds of the air do not sow or reap, but they are provided for about which Jesus fo Nazareth spoke about while giving His discourse on the foolishness of anxiety of 'what we shall eat or put on or where we live'!
Yesterday morning I watched this wood pecker find its feed of insects from the bark of a teak tree in our garden.
Th avians show us the way of living! We live in an environment of abundance!
At Davos, the world leaders are discussing about the economic recession which is likely to hit the market badly in India and elsewhere. Its is when we want to accumulate and possess some others live in want!
All of us can have enough if only we can let others also have what they need! This is the philosophy of distributive justice and opportunity for all!
