Our garden has a decorated look with new shoots in plants and trees following the monsoon rain. As I walk past them, I get a feeling of surrounded by new life.
The new life in nature is an invitation for experiencing new life within as well! I had an experience of this during this week. A former colleague wrote a letter which initiated exchanges of letters between us in a peasant and encouraging tone. It was a relationship which needed nurture and attention. I felt within me a new freedom and comfort.
The plants and trees on receiving monsoon showers feel revived after a long summer spell. So it is with relationships. It too needs a refreshing touch. A strained relationship is like walking through a desert. The desert journey is dry and exhausts us. Therefore an oasis of refreshment alone can refresh relationships.
The more close and wide one is involved with people and situations, it is likely that more attention would be needed to keep relationships fresh and renewed.
The pain of strained in relationship is a burden some of us carry. At an opportune time, an olive branch of renewal in relationships is the way forward for returning to a communicating level in every relationship.
Life becomes enlarged and living become lighter when that happens!
