The above two photos show how the sunlight falls on the three flowers partly obstructed by the thick foliage of tree above. The flowers receive the sunlight only partly and only part of the flowers are bright. The flowers remain partly hidden from the direct sunlight. The light is falling from behind.
The flower below does not receive the sunlight directly on its petals but uniformly receives the ambient light on its petals.
The inner ambience of thoughts, impressions and perspectives decide the way we choose to live and relate.
Our tendency is to live and work without a regular audit of facts and perceptions. That is what can land us in trouble at work place and at home. I landed in a serious difficulty on account of this recently.
I have returned to this photo of a Magpie Robin a few times recently, because its body posture is one of waiting in stillness before its flight.
The inner silence is the way to receive the voice of reason and purpose, which when received would transcend our natural choice. It can surprise us as such an insight carried a path finding indications.
To be able to live and work with awareness of truth and reason is indeed the way forward for all those who are self-transcendent in attitude and behaviour!
