...Spider?... Cobweb?...or both?

Image
 It was raining outside...after an intense patch of sultry weather,the weatherman had predicted it ,and lately 😃they have been bang on too!  With the clouds  blackening , the rain turning into a thunderstorm. The trees were waving wildly and, the branches and leaves dancing merrily, almost crazily as if intoxicated.It was only the firmness of roots in the ground which seemed to be holding the trees wanting to fly out into the arms of the celeberatory weather...as if in abandonment. I opened all the doors and windows to let in the  buoyancy of rain and breeze to soak and replace the heavily humid environment of my home....to purge it out !  In keeping with the weather, I sat myself to a treat of samosas and a cup of hot piping tea...Inhaling the misty fresh air as I was settling into the nook of the sofa, I saw a spider slowly crawl along the  doorway into my  room. Sorry !I am not scared of spiders🤪!!! so somewhat fascinated, I followed it's movement...

'The Feet👣' - up in arms with -'The Face🤗'

Image
The feets were all in knots,  Of the aged,and of the tiny tots. Had been Disgruntled for so long !... that they were not getting their due- care;  As the face was delicately looked-after, with undue dainty- care.   Raised slogans for awareness - 'give us our due, at least'. Filed a case of abuse at Head- judge's court, feeling stifled and unappeased. The case was rostered to be heard , each to argue his own. Both appeared in court-gown, to tear each other down. Head-judge (The♥️) with gavel took the chair, called for argument one on one. Intently listening, all-sanguine before passing verdict on who had won... 👣My Lord, am sick, tired and feel crushed under  the body's weight  🤗To put me up and you... down, My Lord was God's plan!!!...that's his fate. 👣  Caged, suffocated  I feel...Covered with shoes all day long ;  Face caressed by sunlight, wind; is all creamed, washed umpteen times 🤗 am the identity !!! You walk on the ground, so are c...

Rainbow 🌈 Falls

Image
Falls...mmm... People seem to fall all the time🤔- ... fall into a ditch,...fall from a horse,...fall from a mountain, ...fall from one's eyes,...fall from heights, also...fall in love (...or rise don't know😅) But for some ... even heavens fall. We ,as one, experience a lot of Falling...🙃. Some times ago, a fruit fell in Nature and a new universal  gravitational law was discovered which binds our  whole cosmos....some ubiquitous gain!!! Fall ,generally , for humans symbolises  a  loss...most often depletion of sorts... leading to varying degree of misery, pain, hurt, but seldom  to a gain. Also 😃Leaves fall once, but humans seem to fall all the time... Falls are experienced by Nature as well, although differently. Life in nature has a quality of quietness about it yet dynamic in all its dimensions and expression is palpable - can be heard, felt, smelled or seen. Thus nature  is exuberant in its expression but disciplined in its existence. Nature  re...

Childhood on the swings

Image
 had Just finished raining,  as I peered out of the window the mist in the air hit me like a delicate splash of water. The sun had broken through the sky. The view was stupendous - the leaves on the trees and shrubs, the grass, the flowers were as if just been freshly spa-ed and dusted with golden sprinkle from the sun, swaying gently to the lazy winds- absolutely magical. The lazy winds rustling through the leaves creating a whistling sound here and then. Some  lonesome Clouds, busy  playing hide and seek with the sun .  As I made way to the nearby park a squirrel 🐿️ sauntered on to the path and on seeing me instead of ferreting away stood up on its two hind legs and joined it's two forelegs ...as if in Namaste...even the squirrels were aware of the covid ....and were keeping safe!! ...WOW. The squirrel did not move away and I resumed my walk to the parc.  Being a Sunday the park had a  distinct be chitter and chatter occasionally submerged by gutsy ...

Flossy clouds in the sky

Image
  As I went for my regular dose of walk in the evening, just happened to look at the sky which was densely littered  with clouds. From the edge-lines of the clouds cascaded the golden rays in a shimmering veil - only indication of the otherwise blanketed sun. The sky very coyly peeping out from behind the clouds from wherever it found a chink. Looking skywards, its dynamism... triggered a thought !! What I could see a similarity  to our human situations here ...in life !!! Each one of us is blessed with this life ...a largesse of  exuberance, abundance with benevolence to nurture and sustain life. on  this Life-canvas each of us  is placed in a very specific situation right from birth. subsequently each experiences a life  chequered with  joys and sorrows, celebrations amidst  some / more / less struggles. Each of us grows on his/ her own tangent arm - based on personal meaning-making of life's experiences one encounters. Each one of us enc...
