Animals are naturally compassionate. Man is an animal.

He:  "Amma, do you know that almost all the flightless birds live in New Zealand?"

Me: "Oh is it, why do you think this is so?"

He: "New Zealand is a good country that protect their people and animals very well. That's why. All countries should learn from them"

Nature and its splendid beauty

 Dropping Kutta at the Forest School, I went around the dairy farm. What a refreshing, absolutely delightful time it was! Green is indeed the color - and nature has rightfully chosen to fill the world with the color.

Productivity on Sunday

•  A Sunday spent on preparing for the upcoming lecture
• Aapam with coconut milk for breakfasst
• The happiness as he shares his pride on accomplishing is priceless (swimmimg)
  

What a wonderful day the Lord hath made!

 It was a wonderful day. Beginning with Kutta's athletics class, to which he went with his dad. He came back elated. Watched C/O Kaadhal (again!), Had methi roti for lunch, dropped Kutta to Forest school and had a long walk. The nothingness as the intent of the talk, as we walked along, was great. Observed the "cause" of anger and resolved immediately. Had never been able to spot a water stream before- now it was quite a scene!

Spotted a little snail and a slug munching on flowers on the way back.

Kutta brought home a fish that he fished with a teafilter. We transferred her to a small box as we returned home.

Made potato-cheese-burger bun for the potato crazy little boy. Caving in, giving in to little pleasures once a while is a lot of relief! I am unlearning the perfectionism!! Yay

     Tree spread across the sky gives me such a happiness. Always!

Onward to beach and beyond!

• The profound wisdom in: "I am very happy to go up, anywhere- on a tree, hill etc. But I am scared of coming down"
• Kids had a lot of fun, especially at the beach.
• Saw a snail co-living with human beings, moving through a patch of grass just beside our little settlement.
• The brief handholding
• Kutty was awesome- thank God that he is a blessing. He had fun playing in the sea water, swimming with the ball etal
•  Experienced floating platform, the effect of waves on the platform and such.
• The conversations with BP on the trip back was profound
  

What can surrender do??

What a wonderful peace to do yoganidra early in the morning- a few minutes into the practise, I feel a veil being lifted. Always. Whenever I do. It's a great relief.

And I was very confident not to het high rating this year. What a shocking surprise!! Two consecutive years. Thank God for the little big mercies- Nothing is too big, nothing is too small for the Lord. Everything is just the same! What a wonderful Lord I am preveleged to live with, but often ignore!

Again while I was hoping to connect an intern with the Colossal team, and 'my' plan failed, the Lord opened up new doors.

I feel sorry for two of my teammates- their class showed in their response. God is in control- what a wonderful way to put it!
