Nature Brings Endless Happiness
Make immersing in it, a habit
As if I have cracked the code
of endless happiness.
It is watching nature,
how flora and fauna interact.
So, I engage in it a lot,
every day.
A wild parrot feeding on ripe mangoes
on a hot summer day in India,
I was not the one savoring the fruit,
but the spectacle filled me with happiness.
That’s a killdeer bird,
foraging in hot, acidic terrain
of Yellowstone National Park,
showing adaptation and resilience.
Sea gulls sharing space with sea lions
on the Pacific shore.
Now tell me,
did it not delight you?
When we pay attention to other
beings, we banish our own stress.
Immerse in nature more
and reap rapture.

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.

You are so right on this account and nature can teach us so much. Good job.

Marvellous piece once again ✍️🏆🙏🙏🙏🙏
There's so much truth in your words. I spend my days outdoors, I work outside to I get to witness them daily and I really feel the difference when I can't go out. No wonder back in the Victorian age, doctors used to prescribe nature as medicine. They should do it again.
