too quick he thought
exciting as much
leapt up, he did,
enthused, he got,
alive, he felt,
new facets, he found
loved it, for a while,
repetitive, it became,
new, it wasn’t, no more,
to settle, wasn’t him,
stop seeking, he couldn’t
twists and turns, he loved
the journey, had to continue,
keep discovering, the mantra,
keep moving, he did.
Wanderer he was!
Clouds
puffy, soft, white, all abound
Peaks
Tall, snowy, monk like steady
Me
Sighing, gaping, soaking the moment

I wonder sometimes if they could converse with each other, we the lowly humans have decided that we are the living things, we have defined things, we claim to know it all, who knows, there is a realm beyond our inventions and discoveries, beyond our senses, maybe someone might just discover it someday, we conclude and hence I think we make a folly.
What is alive, what is living, who is a mortal, who is immortal, who communicates, who doesn’t?
What if thunder was a way of clouds hugging each other and shrieking out?!
What if an Avalanche were tears of a mountain?!
Mortal, mere, yes those are the only words I agree about us.
Sitting by the window,
gazing about at the meadow
Spring is blooming,
the flowers are beaming,
simple pleasures,
treasures of nature
“To be standing together in a frosty field, looking up into the sky, marvelling at birds and revelling in the natural world around us, was a simple miracle. And I wondered why we were so rarely able to appreciate it.”
― Lynn Thomson, Birding with Yeats: A Memoir
I read that quote at Cedo centre in Moti Virani in Kutch and it made me stop and think, the world is abundant of things to marvel at and revelling in ain’t it? If you want to that is, if you are able to stop for a moment, pause, breathe, think and let it dawn upon you! How busy have we become in our routines that we have just stopped noticing so many wonderful things around us. Let us endeavour to just give things one moment more, let us soak up things around us, find the joy of small things and I am quite sure they can make us so much more thankful to this world around us! 🙂
