A song from within!



 



A Bulbul was perched on a broken branch of the nutmeg tree in our front garden, when the wind was strong and the dark clouds had gathered on the sky! 

I noticed it looking in all directions!

Then came forth the bird calls in succession, tunefully and loudly! It certainly had a message for the avians around!

It too flew away following this!

Perched in a terminal branch which was broken and weak and yet singing tunefully from within! 

Is this not akin to the song of the soul!

The song from within is independent of circumstance!

With heavy rain from yesterday and electricity switched off due to windy weather, the Bulbul arrived with a message of cheer! 

The broken twig was not a safe place to sing from, yet its song was tuneful as before!
