Good wishes are expressions of tender feelings for loved ones. They are expressions of love and affection. It is something that counts, but it does not show itself.

Salutations like “Good morning,” “Good afternoon,” “Good evening,” or “Good night” show that the person exchanging them has feelings for another person in mind. It is mutual care, affection, and well-wishes. This is a cherished relationship that touches life and resonates with feelings.

Blessings and wishes are a way of showing concern and attachment to loved ones. In the temporal world, where things are temporary and volatile, the feeling of being attached buttresses the confidence of the people to whom one is attached. It is possible to be lone, but not alone. Alone conveys a negative feeling of being left out, while the lone individual is not left out but is his/her choice.

Mother Nature gives us a lot. She is benevolent and Compassionate. She teaches us in her own way. She is alone and manages the whole universe, manifesting in many ways. She never complains but becomes furious when her unruly children ignore her distress signals and pursue their own whims and fantasies. In response, she expresses her devastating power through droughts, floods, landslides, tsunamis, and more. Despite this, she respects the perseverance of human beings and aids them in recovering from the devastation.

I take this opportunity to sincerely thank my esteemed subscribers and readers for liking my work. It is encouraging and gives a boost to hone my work. I am thankful to you all for the patience and valuable time you spare to go through my pieces of writing.

I started the journey alone, but gradually, it became a caravan. The lone journey becomes a collective one. Each fleet member is an individual, enjoying his/her freedom yet united and sharing thoughts. It is lovely. Being a part of this gives an inexpressible feeling.

The variety is thrilling. Varied people, varied ideas and a plethora of ways to show them are amazing. It allows us to interact freely with each other and share common interests and causes.

Here are a few pictures of flowers, scattered all through this piece. The floral pictures that I took on different occasions – roaming in a park, watching a flower show or a riverfront with a beautiful promenade –  showcase moods of Nature. Flowers look pretty and colourful, but it is not all. They are important links in a chain that binds the invisible world of energy. Hopping and chirping birds, humming bees and a kaleidoscope of butterflies collectively create an intoxicating atmosphere with its beauty, aroma and variety.

It is a conversation pouring from my heart. It gives joy and satisfaction – a respite from the cacophony of daily chores where people are seen running helter-skelter. It is like meeting with the self in the peaceful and open ambience of a natural environment. Monologuing with the inner self in tranquil solitude is rewarding and beneficial. It allows answering complex questions that show the way to come out of convolution. It is a place where one can find deep solace.

How a person takes things is his perception. It depends upon the mental and physical conditions. A sagacious person can sometimes be abrupt and haphazard. He can be like a wise man of Gothum. It, nevertheless, is a phase. It can’t be construed that the person is ignorant. It would be like judging a person in haste.

That is all for the day. Be happy and healthy.
