Sorry I have been busy and lazy both, so didn’t get around to updating my blog. I have some lovely pictures of hibiscus blooming in our garden alongwith the temple tree flower, Ixora and flame of the forest. Will post these pictures soon.

Happy is the man who can with vigorous wing

Mount to those luminous serene fields!

The man whose thoughts, like larks,

Take liberated flight toward the morning skies—

Who hovers over life and understands without effort

The language of flowers and voiceless things!

CHARLES BAUDELAIRE, “Elevation”

Earth, Teach Me

Earth teach me quiet ~ as the grasses are still with new light.
Earth teach me suffering ~ as old stones suffer with memory.
Earth teach me humility ~ as blossoms are humble with beginning.
Earth teach me caring ~ as mothers nurture their young.
Earth teach me courage ~ as the tree that stands alone.
Earth teach me limitation ~ as the ant that crawls on the ground.
Earth teach me freedom ~ as the eagle that soars in the sky.
Earth teach me acceptance ~ as the leaves that die each fall.
Earth teach me renewal ~ as the seed that rises in the spring.
Earth teach me to forget myself ~ as melted snow forgets its life.
Earth teach me to remember kindness ~ as dry fields weep with rain.
