    We can all find comfort if we look around with an open heart. Everything has a soul: trees, animals, plants. Everything has something to give. A humble flower once saved someone's life, and a lonely dog became their best friend. And it spoke to them in beautiful, magical ways. :)

    The old man was quite wise and thoughtful. Sometimes all you need is a mentor and a guide like him. To all the people like Vaishali, GOD gives them internal peace. ✨❤ I'm sorry brother but the only confusing thing is that is Vaishali 'He' or 'She' 😅
