Another visitor!

The yellow spotted dragon fly, kept overing over a plant and finally settled on it to give me  closer look! Yet another pattern of its wings !There was even a musical tune to its flying sound.

What was even more specific was the way it stayed on a leaf even when there was other noises and sound around it!

I felt even richer by its sighting because, it gives a message of its silent presence, 'minding its own business' ! It is in contrast to a tendency to be intrusively involved in public matters! Sometimes we are known by what we do and not who we are!

There is a sacred interior we carry within us which is our identity! I noticed a phrase yesterday which reinforced this! Even when we are called to pray by Jesus of Nazareth, we are called to 'enter into a room and close its door and pray'!

The secret experiences of life have a personal and secret dimension for it to become a 'leaven' within ourselves!

We are larger than what we are seen for or talked about or being valued for!

Dulcie Searching for her biscuit!

It is a game we play with Dulcie. To let her research for her biscuit! Yesterday, even in the dark she found it. Dogs are scent driven.

What was interesting was her effort to find it!

It was a lesson in perseverance1

It reminded me of the call to stretch oneself whenever possible, without giving up!

Another dragon fly!

The firs player of the wings are asymmetrical while the second layer look symmetrical! Another type of arrangements f the wings!

A moth and spider!

I found this moth and spider with dew drops on their body!

I think it is 'manna' to their body when the day temperature is 37 degree celsius!

What a sight! Even a tiny creature receives what is needed for its wellness!

This consciousness is an answer to anxiety! I have had difficult times on account of stressful relationships recently! 

This was yet another message of hope to me!

The stressful times are for deeper inner journey to find comfort and hope beyond the transitory dimensions of life!

I found students of 2015 batch immersed in restoring a garden cum park, which was unused for several years. I was encouraged by their enthusiasm and desire to restore the park for use of students!  

It was yet another sign  of hope and a demonstration of abundant goodwill all-around us!

SEEING and believing!

The dew drops in our garden!

The dew forms into drops and stay on the leaves. It is sight that held my attention because of the way the drops defy the law of gravity and stay glued to the leaves !

It is a lesson of some significance to me. The last picture with the dew drop looking precarious stayed on like that for half an hour I ket watching it!

The dew is gentle; the leaf is slender; both in their fragility find attachment to each other! 

A lot to ponder... a symbol for human relationships! most of meaningful relationships in life evolve when we are conscious of our fragility and vulnerability!

Too soon to believe!

The rose plants looked damaged in the rain and did not look promising. But in less than a week with better day temperature, there are serial buds in all of them!

This is the rhythm in nature! To overcome!

The call in life is to overcome our situations and circumstances to live our vocation!

Custard apple!

When the custard apple got uprooted in the rain, we had lost hope of the fruits surviving. Even after one month the fruits continue to grow, even though only few roots were spared when it was uprooted!

Fallen, but bearing fruits!

This sight is enormously inspiring to me! No matter what might be the circumstances, one can still bring some good for the benefit of others! This is true self giving!
