The lives of seasons

Spring time has come. I feel so blissful to sit outside in my garden every morning and be bathed by the morning breeze. I notice red bottlebrush flowers that suddenly appeared in one corner of my garden and are swinging joyfully. Small birds are chirping and are hopping from flower to flower. Nasturtiums, dahlias and daisies all tossing their heads with joy. Looking at nature, I wonder and think what can be the unseen force, that changes winter into spring and spring into scorching summer. All these changes are so silent and subtle that they go almost unnoticed by us. Even on my own head, how and when my thick black hair turned into snowy gray cre[t up unnoticed by me. In nature, creation and destruction go hand in hand. When it brings the change in the form of destructions, it is sudden, ferocious and forceful. Often it happens due to an imbalance in nature created by human beings. Human creations, which can be a dam on a river, or a palatial building, or some thing else create so much noise and often disturb animal life by deforestation. I wish we could learn from nature, how to create change more harmoniously. Throughout the ages all saints, philosophers and thinkers have tried to connect with that hidden energy thst works through the nature unceasingly. Energy can not be seen, only felt. It's vastness that covers time and space extends beyond our comprehension. Realizing that, Newton had humbly said that he feel that his knowledge was akin to picking up pebbles near the sea shore. The great Saint, Sri Ramakrishna once compared our effort to know the unfathomable spirit as if a doll made of salt went to measure the ocean. It dissolves in the process and in losing it's identity becomes one with the ocean. I feel, we are all blessed to have a tiny spark of that divine light in us all. And life can be meaningful when we try to brighten that light with our own effort and with our good karma. Sorrows and difficulties have great relevance in life. I feel that every sorrow and hurdle I have passed through in life had inspired me more to come near this truth. As life is short, I feel life's energy must be invested wisely, so that the dividend is substantial and satisfying. I found a small quotation, which I liked very much that I think will be very appropriate to express - "Give love and care as a long as you can to everyone. That's the only thing that comes back with highest interest"
