Anna and I have been away for four days from our cottage, visiting Chennai, Pondicherry and Vellore. On our return, the walk in the garden brought us back to connect with our garden. The summer heat has touched 37 degrees C and the plants look well enough. The above pictures tell the story of the small events taking place in the different corners of the garden.
Each of those sights refreshed me as they represent the life in nature which keeps unfolding before us to receive the gift of presence they bring to our lives.
The way they become present and we become present too each other, make life on earth a relational experience.
That is why it is unthinkable that the Israel army still kills people waiting to collect their food packets, thinking them to be terrorists. We as humans need a new optic and feeling hearts!
