Connecting with Nature

I come from a land which is considered to be Gods own abode- Kerala..

What makes this space special to me is my ability to transcend out of myself for those few rare moments and experience and take in so much more of what is around me...

to me experiencing deeply happens only when i am able to let go off every other emotion that may occupy my mindspace...

Kerala has the most serene expanse of inland water bodies...and water in kerala occupies an extremely pivotal part in the lives of one and all....

it purifies...it engages...it liberates...

It is worshipped...and it helps worship too...

To me...my connect with mother Nature has always been intimate and personal...she teaches me the importance of feeling a tiny insignificant part of the whole...when in an age and time we get carried away with our intellect and our ability to control and command...she commands and controls even that....and its only when i am in her lap...right in the middle of either a road trip...or a long walk...that i experience completely the joys of belonging to suhc a greater system....a system that is not based on caste...creed colour or form...a system which is based purely on symbiosis....on interdependence.....

To me its these moments when i always feel complete for that split second...look around at the beauty around me and go within to understand the beauty within too...breathtaking...and exquisite....

Mother nature has always caressed and nurtured my growth...be it in the beauty of the barren desert land which may seem empty ....but it me is actually hope...or the dense forests...where human entry is impossible....it appears to me like she has her own protocols..and still somewhere decides how much we as "intellectually superior" races can gorge into her....

I love travelling...and with each of my road trips and adventures ...the only thing that stays with me...more vividly than people and conversations...are these images of life..these moments of sheer bliss where i connect...where i experience...and where i feel small...yet important....
