On one day!




I plucked these fruits from one papaya tree yesterday, which is as tall as me, but only two years old! Its life span only a few years, but during this time all through the year, it is giving and giving! 

We are given and are called to be giving people!

Our neighbour brought a basket full of mangoes; the lady who brings milk to us brought eggs from her poultry farm; the auto rickshaw driver brought a jack fruit... we receive the gifts of telephone calls and enquiries for our wellness! We feel moved by such abundant expressions of thoughtfulness!

Many people who reach out like this are those who live in the margins!

A doctor who telephoned yesterday to enquire about our wellness was unwell recently! 

Amidst sorrow and anxiety, I experience this awakened consciousness of reaching out to others in many people around us!

Giving is a sign of living mindfully!
