My 80 plus father and I were having a nice conversation this morning. I asked him, what is the difference between your generation and today?
What did you all have then that today that we don’t have today? He said it in one line: Freedom of time. It’s so true. Today’s world is fully connected but caught in the web of it’s own doing. Today everything is caught on camera. No one is truly free. Whether at work or after,.. your work follows you .You are always available and connected even when you travel… Life is actually more complicated with all these so called devices of technology.
Even simple joys of life are difficult to experience for lack of time. No one is truly free. Chained to the machines of their own making…
In the name of Work from home and work life balance, we are getting more work home that there is no downtime. Weekends no longer feel different. All are in a rat race in time. Until we mutually agree and consciously think of taking time out and act on it , life seems to fall into a rut of routine that we forget we are meant to live and not just exist .
Watching this papaya tree grow in our garden gives me great joy. Nature has so much wisdom to offer if we take time to reflect on it. Love how the tiny little shoots are protected and nurtured by an umbrella of more mature leaves until they are ready to face the sun on their own…
Emerging patterns of nature are captivating indeed. For instance, be it waves or stripes or spirals, and more, nature patterns itself in synchrony.
In the waves of the ocean and the sand dunes, ripples in the pond, in the striking stripes of a zebra and the striped Zebra plant or even the striped flowers, their formation at the atomic and molecular levels may have a reason purpose in nature.
We as humans, find inspiration in nature and we are drawn to recognising these emerging patterns. It reminds us of the bigger picture, of the Oneness in the interconnects in life and living.
Like a new dawn, Trust new beginnings, Renew hope, renew effort Making it a day Full of positivity & possibilities. Step forward With grit & gratitude Each moment is special Miracles happen in any moment.
