The present as an optic of tomorrow!

I saw the two buds in the flower pot next to the entrance to our cottage in the evening. When I went out in the morning, the buds had become flowers!

The imagery of the buds had stayed in my mind. It was when I noticed the flowers it occurred to me that the buds represented flowering! It  was a delightful sight of celebration and a good start for the day.

There is a future beyond the present!

With president of the United States of America on an aggressive mood predicts of aggression, invasion and war! That is what the President seems to want!

Mr Warren Buffett, retiring at 95 years from Berkshire Hathaway recently as its CEO, seems to have bequeathed 99 percent of his wealth to charity. He sees a healthy future for people through philanthropy. 

Two different outlooks!

One is acquisitive and the other is distributive!

It is only when we see in a bud the prospect of it becoming a flower, we long to make it happen by a facilitatory support!

I wish I can see people through the prospects of who they shall become!

A nine month old child with history of cerebral haemorrhage following which he had right sided hemiparesis is now at school in the third standard, doing well. It was his parents who helped me to see the prospects of his development because they believed in his future prospects! 

The present can block our vision of future or can become a pair of glasses to see the future of prospects and promise!
