The Nature's beauty.

 Sitting in my veranda, sipping my all time favorite tea yes, Gucci tea..., don’t ask, long story.

 I found myself admiring the banana tree, the tulsi plant, the bougainvillea, the climbing syngonium, the rose bush, and the over-laden rubber plants.

I love this song by Mohd.Raffi...yeh asman ...yeh badal ..yeh hawa....har ek cheez Hai apni jagha thikane se....!

Nature has this way of making you pause. I felt a deep wave of gratitude for all this green generosity.

Then came a pair of birds ....clearly a couple..... chirping their way out for breakfast. Watching them, I wondered, What would I like for breakfast? Why not aloo parathas? Calories are fine, but parathas are super.

It also reminded me a line from Jonathan sea gulls.Richard Basch says most of the gulls don't go beyond daily routine..

Just then, a message popped up from a dear friend:

"Is it really you?"

I stared at the screen thinking.... what does that even mean?

Then she clarified: "I meant to say…..are you absolutely sure?"

Well, maybe it was a miscalculation of time, or energy, or perhaps a mild case of brain fog.....in case you have brain s...on her side or mine. Either way, we can always blame it on the “leanopause.” .......'menopause '...?I mean some pause.

The sacred pause.

Osho says“Life is not a problem to be solved it’s a mystery to be enjoyed.”

And sometimes, enjoying it means blaming the brain fog on hormones and moving on.

I had a thought ...all this is a manifestation of some energy. But what’s the energy I want to create today?

Excitement, I decided.

So I swapped a few things in my room, removed some clutter, and brought in more plants — a little indoor forest of my own.

And then I asked myself: What is the mental space I want to be in today?

Osho would probably say:

“Don’t choose the space. Just sit, sip your tea, and watch the banana tree. The space will choose you.”

Nature....look at it...feel it....try to understand why our plants go faster than patience.
