Birding
Nature,
shows in its mellow ways
How simple a life can be
Sketch Book
A Morning of Leisure
Mornings are so beautiful!
Surrounded as one is
With pencils pens colours
Fallen flowers and leaves
Articles to read
It’s a gym for the mind and hands
Deciphering colour and form
Line and light
And of course,
The chai helps, so much!
Morning walk treasures
I don’t have to look far
For inspiration
Sometimes,
It lies by my ked-clad feet
At other time
It circles
Leisurely
From the sky
Petals, Feathers, seeds
Bidding adieu
To their tree….
Finding refuge
In my sketchbook and me…
Facetime
One a day… In any way, shape or form!
Pug Pleasure!
Motu has taught me the joy of sitting around flowers, at his level.
Not the sophisticated opportunities of being around a vase elegantly filled with hand-picked beauties, but the ‘son-of-the-soil’ types, where one barges into a blossoming flowerbed head-on, dislodging and dispersing fragrance in all directions…. Smelling leaves too, because everyone smells the flowers, duh!
So, as he sits amongst flowers, smack in the middle of them, trying to pass of as a daisy, … I linger nearby, sitting on grass, inhaling appreciatively, the subtle delicacy of sun in winter and the blessing of a playful pet, one who teaches through example, what it means to enjoy the ‘simple pleasures of life’.
There is
In the core
A certain strength
That keeps
All the flowering petals
In beautiful harmony
I leave a page
For months
And I get back
Look at it
With new eyes
And it gives me hope…
Few things are
Ever completely lost
There is potential
As long
As there is
Enthusiasm…
Netting Nature
Network of veins
Running through
To give
Flexibility
Agility
Fragility
When ignorance is bliss
Bravery comes naturally!
