My little garden

 ❇️🌸🌹🌺🌻🌼🏵️💐💮

A little corner of my home
Breathing oxygen and carbon dioxide in turns
A reminder emphasizing the importance of different things at different times
What is magic in the morning might act as poison at night.

Colourful, beaming beings -
A place where I find refuge, always
From the madness that engulfs me.

My Little garden, which is -
more heart-felt than beheld.

These tiny flowers, plants, trees, grass are -
An expression of all that's good in the world.

I write this little blog-piece sitting on a chair in the garden all the while,
while Lucy, my cat chatters at birds flocking above
And mews at me taking turns.

I witness life in all forms around and beyond me.
Nature has its way of enthralling you.

My Little garden is home to daisies, periwinkles, Bougainville, roses, marigolds, jasmines, sunflowers, china pinks, petunias, lilies etc.
And infinite other flowers which bloom in some/every season 

Every flower when pampered - thrives and when it's time comes - dies
Reminding us
That life is meant to be lived while you can and -
Death a necessity,
Nature's inevitable truth.

Natural greenary's healing properties go beyond our perception and understanding.

My Little garden has been a witness to all seasons and moods.
While autumn does occur every once in a while; 
It has learnt to blossom in every spring.
Quoting Shelly - 'If winter comes, can spring be far behind.'

A BEAUTIFUL MIND



🧠

Just like the myriad dresses that fit me or rather do not!
There is not one mold the human brain would fit in!
And yet on the contrary, it may fit many molds 
At the same time or/and at diverse times
At once
Or
At different junctures…

Always have been at awe of the human mind
And yet not friends with it all the time
though - 
It has been a good friend 
Just as - 
The worst enemy,
sometimes,
ironically.

I feel connected to it - mostly
And am yet -
A total stranger
To it -
at times -
Many a time

Mind is undoubtedly what makes one unique in this - diverse jungle of diverse creatures.
And yet I am compelled to think what makes it unique, 
makes it - the most vulnerable and empathetic, again
At the same time,
manifolds.

All battles lost or won - first in the mind
Although, nonetheless it is the journey
which matters

And my intuition gets the better of me to interpret that a unified law - one is all and all is one —
Me, We —
May be underway.

Mind may as well be all that matters 
& Mind over matter
Rather matter over mind -
The unbiased reality - the unified law governing all

The sanctuary - brain or/and just as the beauty - mind 
is what makes –
A BEAUTIFUL MIND


Gratitude

Whatever there is, is a gift. The present we must value - every present moment. But as humans we tend to forget it. Take everyth...
