In the time line of the existence of our Universe, the lives of
human beings on planet
earth, is likely to be only a
tiny dot. In that single existence some become
‘emperors’ conquering vast
territories decimating all those
who oppose them physically,
intellectually or materially. Some others pile up wealth more than what one needs this
life time and some after growing up to a
ripe old age, cease to exist! They would all have in their
childhood brought joy to
own parents; in ones youth
made a sweetheart
miss a heartbeat and in ones old
age, if lucky enough
to have caring children, made them feel proud of
having an adoring parent. And
finally when it’s
time to take ones last breath,
whether consciously or by some misfortune through a freak accident wrung out of one’s body…so long as one brims with life, if one
lives spreading joy
for a
few people, one should
consider one’s life fulfilling!
Why such philosophical
musings?...Well, I adore flowers
which have a miniscule
life span when compared to humans. They
don’t eliminate other flowers
nor hoard honey and fragrance
as humans pile up
wealth. And while they exist ...they spread infinite joy to those
willing to receive their enthralling beauty, sublime fragrance or succulent honey…and at the end of a
day when a gentle breeze knocks
them down, they fall in silence
and in
a day or two merge with the soil.
This comparison with human beings have often made me wonder why humans
don’t learn anything from flowers…There will be tombstones
for humans big and small
but nothing for
a flower which gave everything without
receiving…This prompted me to
capture the images
of flowers which
drew my attention wherever I go, with my mobile camera….I have been liberally
uploading them on Blog posts as a
memoriam for their
gracious existence….
Would you like to
see a
sample…Please view Edufruit Blog
http://edufruit.blogspot.com/?view=flipcard which has a template that
displays over a hundred flowers which I uploaded one at a time…As you gaze….do ask yourself : Am I
spreading joy too, like flowers?
