Mother nature

Grief is what connects you more with nature..
When you are emotionally drained or grief-struck,
Go into the arms of mother nature..
Let her embrace you...
You can feel her breath in the breeze caressing your hair..
Hear her heartbeat in the rustling of leaves..
She then shows you around, like a mother soothes her crying baby...
Tiny plants moving gently in the wind, full of hope..
A kingfisher patiently waiting by a pond for the momentary splash of a fish..
A sparrow pecking up threads and bits one by one to build a nest..
A spider tirelessly working on it's net..
Water lilies glowing brightly  in a muddy pond..
Trees which survived all weathers to stand tall and strong..
On and on goes the list of spectacles..
All through these you see the essence of life... Hope, perseverance and resilience..
Hold on, hang on and move on..
