A home for all !




 

Two Stilt Bug nymphs on a rose flower in our garden ! They eat the flower petals and survive! When I notice the partially eaten rose petals, I searc for the insects. I noticed two of them on the same flower, which was unusual.  

The garden is a place of surprises and discoveries. 

Even such small insects have an assured habitat in a garden! What a mystery of the earth and its distributive justice! The garden has a message: a place for all! 

I felt fascinated by this sight! 

Each flower offers itself to bees, butterflies, and insects! That is the way of the plant life ! A plant exists also for its benefactor ! Each flower is an offering to others! 

It was a heartening message to begin the day! 

What is the purpose of being beyond my own interests! While buying some fruits from the market yesterday, the shop keeper gave me some tips to keep ripe banana fruits without getting damaged in the hot and humid climate. It was an unasked for advice! He went beyond his obligation!

While walking back with two bags, one each hand, a pedestrian offered to carry one to the car!

The gardener gave me instructions about transplanting a rose bush from its pot to the ground! 

Such experiences on one day, lifted my spirit and gave me renewed hope in the goodness around us!  

Such experiences help me to think beyond the stress and despair of the war in west Asia and Middle East!

We live in a global home where the order is wellness  and mindfulness of  all!
