ONE WITH NATURE

 

When was the last time you observed sunrise? Did you enjoy the full moon last

week? How many times in a month do you go to beach in your city?

 

Man is a part of Nature.His physical and mental growths do depend on nature. If

he moves away from nature, and shuts himself in the concrete jungle of house and

work place, with no intension to feast on the resources that are so vital for

his growth, how can we except him to grow at all?

 

Go to nature. She teaches you. Be one with nature .She recharges you.Loose

yourself in her lap. She comforts you.

 

Take time to observe the sunrise,sunset and moonrise at least once in aweek or

two.

 

Are you fortunate enough to have a front yardlawn in your house? Then walk bare

foot in the lawn in the early hours.

 

If you take a morning walk, go to a near by garden and sit calmy on a bench, or

better still on the grass, observing the dew drops on the leaves, the flowers

moving in the early morning breeze, and the tall trees with rich

foliage,listening to the chirpy birds hurrying from one tree to another and the

whistling wind, and enjoying the careness of the light and wind of the dawn on

your body. Watch the squirrels, lizards,pigeons and parrots, and laugh with

them. Talk to the flowers, leaves, buds, birds and bees, and ask them to share

their, secrets with you. Ya, and they would oblige you!

 

But what to do if you are unable to do this for any reason such as living in the

midst of the city in a multi stored building with no park or greenery in the

vicinity?

 

Take heart. We have a solution.

 

Paste posters depicting the snow glaciers, thehigh mountains, the green woods,

the gurgling streams, the enchanting wild or any other scenery in your house.

Spend sometime looking at them,mentally visualizing as if you re in those

place.Touch themgently

 

Observe the early morning light if not the sun rise from your flat.

 

Still, our advice is, take time to go to Nature.

 

Even if its a circuitous road, take the beach road or canal road now and then to

reach your home or work place. Stop a minute on the way and watch the sea or

canal. If you see a house on your way that has greenery all round it, stop a

minute and enjoy the sight.

 

Sneha and Surya are both IT professionals working in reputed software companies

in Hyderbad.As their two kids Rahul and Ramya don't find any time to spend with

their parents during the week, they have reserved the weekend Saturday for going

out.They usually go to the Tank Bund or public Gardens.The kids eat their

favourite chat masala, drink pepsi and play  wile their parents do some

shopping.

 

Good, as we have asked ! But no, it isn't  what we have in mind.Do you go to

public gardens to eat ice-cream or chat? If you want to eat, go to the nearby

restaurant.Want a drink? The pan shop is round the coner. Have you missed

reading the morning newspaper? Go to the library. The public Gardens isnot the

place where you eat, drink, read or sleep. You go there to enjoy the beauty of

nature, nothing else.

 

We have to learn to focus on what a place is supposed to offer to us.When we

dont, the sight seeing and picnic spots become nothing but eating joints.

 

Draw a flower.

Draw a tree.

Draw a bird.

Draw  a land scape.

Do this once in week.

Read travelogues.

Write a few lines about any picnic you attended and describe the place. Read

Wordsworth, Keats and shelley, translation of Kalidasa, potana etc.

 

I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.
