Whorls over Sea

Today, got up around 7.. Greeted the day with a wide embrace and smile.. Accepting this phenomenal gift our senses are unable to hold all at once.. These tiny whorls over the sea like involuntary frissons of emotion caused by fleeting touches of the wind.. These birds sitting around in shared companionship rejoicing in the moment.. Sipping tiny drops of water on the ground.. 

Has rained early morning leaving a wet sparkling sheen everywhere.. Drops of water clinging to the glass in myriad designs vying for nothing but to realize their own identity.. Reflecting varying truths within each eye.. 

Was reading a few pages of the book 'fakir' and he says that we always have masters and guides around us.. And we should acknowledge their presence.. Always.. By quiet offerings of everything we have.. That we can never be lonely or alone.. Someone is always looking out for us.. So much love! Such care! 

We gift our kids houses and toys and food and clothes etc.. But look at these gifts of nature.. Fresh.. Unique.. Heart-warming.. Uplifting.. And these masters.. Silent hands helping.. unknown.. And still we are scared.. And still we are alone.. 

My friend called to say bye since she was leaving.. Told me about some snack as food for crows.. To feed them everyday same time so they get used to coming.. Its really strange that here i write about crows being ignored and i come to know that shops actually sell food for crows!.. She also asked to feed the ants a mixture of sugar and flour dry.. to mix, fill in bottle and sprinkle a pinch of it outside every day.. 

Its still not raining.. The sky a clear blue.. How clear the sounds of birds in the morning hours, and during the day traffic sounds drown out everything else.. Can still hear intermittent chirps.. And so want to train my ears to drown out the traffic sounds instead.. Who teaches these birds anything.. They have to spread their own wings and learn to fly.. Sensing the weather.. Any danger.. Building shelter.. Knowing the directions they need to fly seasonally.. Would we too understand and sense much more if we could shut out the noise.. Do we all come naturally equipped with the sense and ability to survive.. Look at all these birds insects and animals.. Never needing to wear clothes whatever the season..
