Preserving nature beauty is our sublime duty.
How many people can deny the divine, undeniable fact that we are blessed by this magnificent gift of the magnificent nature showering us with its supreme kindness? This kindness is absolutely, highly, amazingly, unmatched as a wonderful product for humanity by Mother Nature. What we see in our day to-day life is that the majestic mountains, just like the Himalayas, rivers like Ganga, Brahmaputra, and their subsidiaries, are all the precious gifts. Along with this, an abundance of massive greenery is critical for balancing the ecosystem, which has been badly polluted by continued deforestation and industrial plunder. Now the question is, what's our role in returning to Mother Nature for stamping us the particular beneficiaries of all of its blessings? How will we implement the procedures to maintain the mountains, rivers, and greenery pollution-free? This is often the elixir of human life, and in its absence, we are able to cherish the soothing effect of rejuvenation in healing ourselves, balancing all of our senses in order.

A Hymn. Top Story - April 2022.
I had always been afraid of birds. The way they screech into the sharp sky, display their talons like trophies, unfurl their wings and fly. How they move gently through the air as a simple breeze, but crack harshly against the earth each time they land. At 21, I spent most of my time alone in my dense apartment uptown, near the trees. I reveled in the space between me and others, the freedom of the forest. Fell in love with talking to myself and hearing only the rustle of branches as a reply. The fall proved to be the best time of the year. When the birds flew south and the bugs holed up from the cold. I wore sweaters to class in the morning, changed to a t-shirt by noon. I loved autumn, the soft in between of two extremes. I enjoyed each season as much as possible, each providing their own sense of beauty, but fall held its place in my heart. When winter hit and it snowed too hard, I pulled the covers tight and bundled myself away from the cold, refusing to accept it. Although friends and family questioned me, I refused to explain what the snow did to me. The way it took pieces of me each time, how most years I never got them back.

Laughter Follows
Making soft way across the soft wet sand, trying to pay mind to spitting clams annoyed by the disturbance. The tide will begin to come in soon and there is only so much space between the wrack line and the dunes. Just a moment past golden hour and already a chill is settling on bare shoulders and exposed backs of knees. It’s time to go home and time for the sweater still in the bag left by driftwood, out of the path of the eventual reaching backwash.
