I created a world within me which ironically is larger than the outside world at least for me. I woke up early in the morning and the myriads of thoughts that had been dormant while I was asleep got activated to keep me busy. Reconciling with my own thoughts had become a challenge owing to their peculiar nature. Sometimes it is difficult to cope with their remonstrations and tantrums that leave me overwhelmed. There is no inner world without thoughts and they are the bedrock for our actions. After holding a rendezvous with my mind I decided to saunter down the alleyway to reach my favourite park. This is the park that flushes me with joy and washes me with ecstasy. No matter how stressed or anxious I feel owing to overwhelming thoughts, spending time with Mother Nature infuses me with copious peace and alleviates my pain. I clicked a selfie at the backdrop of a lush greenery. There is nothing to grapple with when you are amidst Mother Nature who protects you with open arms. I commanded my eyes to quaff the elixir of greenery so that they experience a soothing feeling that can send them into a trance. The breezy wind blew seamlessly as if it was assigned the duty to lullaby us to sleep. I breathed in and out dripping ecstasy after being gripped by the atmosphere around me. Life is hunky dory when you are lying on the lap of mother nature. Isn't it? My sincere gratitude to her for the unassailable protection she had given against the evil forces. Steeped in tranquillity, I took a nap hearkening to the cooing birds.


My nap reached a full stop when my eyes opened to see the magnificent picture of a blue sky adorned with grey clouds. The flock of birds exercised their wings to kiss the sky to reach the pinnacle of the world. The aroma of mud wafted through the air and sprayed its colors on my nostrils. What an exhilarating day it has been so far. No mounting conflicts, no tensions, no negativity, only the presence of a purity-laden nature that has been so refreshing to my soul. Thank God I did not carry the phone which disrupts my mood every single minute with a plethora of phone calls and messages. I wish I had died here the very next minute. Oh, my poor soul! You are annoyingly emotional. I thought my thoughts were privy to me but I was wrong because nature knows what I think. Adhering to the policies of Mother Nature is our responsibility but unfortunately, we are breaching her policies unabashedly. The mayhem that is prevalent all over the world perhaps could be because of her fury. If we try to keep her in our grim hold we are only feeding her fury if bursted can cause enormous destruction hitherto never seen before.

When I discerned the pattern of the climate which changed continuously I wondered whether we were staring at a bleak future. One day there is searing heat that threatens to bludgeon our skin and on the other day, it rains cats and dogs wreaking havoc all over. I don't know what lies beneath the cloak of this peculiar climate. I silently filed a petition to everyone to respect and keep Mother Nature clean and healthy.


I pulled open a spiritual book that had been sleeping inside my bag for a very long time. Owing to busy work schedules I could never make time to read. Today, I am going to give this book a company. I am going to mop my head with its wisdom. I had always been an avid reader of books but in the last five years, I had forgotten the essence of books courtesy of my demanding work. At this juncture, that busy work looks immaterial. A spectacle protected my eyes and I went on a reading spree with no phone or people to disrupt my solitude. Hours flew by just like that to explain the theory of relativity. My mind had been transfixed by the wisdom expounded seamlessly in this small book. Every thought of the author is articulated brilliantly to ensure the message gets across. Eventually, I finished reading the book. Then my eyes gazed at the two cute puppies that were involved in a playful fight. I wish I had the license to breach their mind and understand how they work. They had indeed encroached on my mindland with their mischievousness. I glanced at the old couple brimming with joy manifesting their joy through laughter. Everybody feels refreshed amidst nature. What a glorious aura she has. The enigmatic wind brushed my skin clinging coolness that rendered goosebumps. I can spend my entire life here which certainly would increase my longevity. I was surprised to see the blades of grass bathed in mists glorifying their aura in the presence of the mild sunlight. Wallowing in the pleasure offered by the greenery around, I ventured into solitary musings. If there is one thing that I can strike a chord with it is Mother Nature herself. She always manages to tickle my funny bones. I am always happy and healthy when she renders me company. It seemed like the looming trees behind hid a story that no one knew. They never fail to endow shelter to the people who have always enjoyed the luxury but never cared for them. My gleaming eyes met the shimmering sun rays to create a synergy that was to fill the atmosphere with positivity. This is a place where you can listen to your inner voice by slaying the outside noise. This is the divine place that bolsters one's sagging morale and reinforces their confidence and courage. It felt like nature had ushered in a new era in my life by usurping the old one. My crazy mind jotted down a poem in a jiffy.


Swinging in the cradle of Mother Nature

Doesn't make us worry about the future

You will learn the art of living,

If you shower her with unconditional love

She has churned out the alluring greenery

To end all our misery

We all are sheltered in her cocoon

Which is our biggest boon

She keeps us happy and healthy

Which makes us emotionally wealthy

If you strengthen nature's fury

You will always have to worry

Join the nature's symphony

It saves you from all the cacophony

I bow down to the divine mother

And praise her charismatic power


I quickly realized the time was ticking over and it was time to take a leave from nature and confront the mundane day-to-day tasks. I grew wistful as I strode out of the park. The mind den that looked so relaxed suddenly became turbulent with relentless thoughts that kept on intertwining to exhaust me to the core. My eyes welled up reflecting its pain because it only wanted to gaze at the greenery. My heart bled because it was dancing to the rhythms of Mother Nature. It felt like my very frame shuddered making a plea to join back nature. Oh, phew! What an alarming situation is this?
