Flowers feed the bees with honey. The trees provide shelter and food for the birds of the air. Both plants and trees are rooted in the soil which feed them. The sunshine gives the means and energy to survive through photosynthesis.
This is the way of interdependence in nature, each supporting the other.
I wish humans too would value and follow this way of living by relating to each other !
I wonder whether we, as humans have become distant from each other!
The political climate in India is one of divisiveness. I wonder whether we loose our humaneness for the sake of promoting a particular political ideology! Both main line parties have fallen into this trap.
An elderly gentleman whom I met for the first time yesterday in a shop, told me that 'he is getting used to a new form of selfishness- to use others for one's own advantage'! He summarised it well.
The flowers and trees have a giving habit. They give unreservedly. The oxygen the trees bring to the atmosphere, sustains human life.
When I saw these flowers while visiting two homes yesterday and noticing the large tree stretching itself in the heart of a town over a lake, aroused within me this consciousness of the gift of 'silent giving' of nature for our wellness!
The flowers and trees exist for others!
What a calling for humans to consider!
