Battered and Bruised!


This is one of the few coconut trees in our garden which do not have coconuts for a while now. This tree in its central leaves bears the marks of attack from pests. The bugs thrives on the sap from the tender leaves, which subsequently delays the flowering! I confess that it has not been possible to protect the coconut trees in our garden as w ego not find climbers who can keep a close watch and protect the tender leaves at the right time from pest attack. 

This is the story of life we live!

I come across this in my work often! A parent who dropped in to have a conversation yesterday told me about the 'autosuggestion' of illness with which her 12 year old son lives now. Somewhere in childhood he would have had an illness which left memories of stress and fear! He carries it with him even now! For this bright boy and diligent student, that past memory is a unresolved pain!

Many of us live reduced lives, because we have memories of past holding us back. Take time to restore our memories by finding the disguised purposeful meaning of such experiences.
