Love a tree....

The following pic is of a gift which my friend gave when she visited Pune...yeah!!It's only a dried leaf with some scribbles on it....... She wrote these while she was sitting in front of a supermarket ..... The words which were penned on it are posted below the pic....



IF LEAVES WERE A TREE’S THOUGHTS, HAVE YOU WONDERED WHAT A MIGHTY THINKER A TREE MUST BE?
I WAS WALKING DOWN THE STREETS OF PUNE WHEN THROUGH THE DUST AND GRIME OF THE CITY CAME A FLASH OF RED-A LIITLE SPOT OF VERMILLION FLUTTERING AND SETTLING DOWN ON A DUSTY EARTH.
DOES A TREE WEEP? WOULD LEAVES BE THE TEARS OF A TREE? DOES A TREE EVER MOURN THE LOSS OF A TEAR, THE LOSS OF A TREE?
DOES A TREE FEEL TICKLED EACH TIME A WORM CRAWLS ALL OVER IT? OR JUST TICKLED BY A STRAY THOUGHT?
CAN YOU SEE A TREE GIGGLING IN ITS LEAVES?
HAVE YOU RUFFLED A TREE’S MANE?
HUG A TREE….

My friend is neither an environmentalist nor a social activist..she is neither a Medha Patkar nor a Maneka Gandhi...she is just one among us.... one who cares!!! Do you care????

Hi, I came via Kannan and read these thoughts of your friend and urs.

Your frined may not be MP or MG but she certainly is sensitive and sensitivity keeps a human human and long living. You are lucky to have such friends.

Apart from your writings I mostly enjoyed your pics. Some are real good. Keep it up. (Thanks to Kannan)

She definitely has A Beautiful Mind.

I do agree too that we must really care. My Master used to tell we must leave the environment as it is how it was when we came to this Earth even if we don't make it better.

Yes, we all must play a part. I simply love this Nature mother and doing what I can do.
