🐦 Blackbirds are among the first birds to sing in the 'dawn symphony'.

As much as I've heard that blackbirds appear to recognise human faces, I can't say "it came running towards me, because it recognised me". 😊

🍃 Simple joys of nature...

🏔️ Nature has its own script when it comes to offering surprises.

🐇 I had heard of these wonderfully shy, mystically solitary and usually
nocturnal Himalayan hares, until I saw this one perched comfortably in a camouflaged position, between the
seemingly pastel-painted rock.

🐝 Bees go through a series of steps from foraging to sealing the honeycomb with wax caps to protect the honey. All through these steps, the essence is the 'honey'.

💭 Essence - When lost in the complexity of an action...

A reflective Q:

❓"What is the essence of my
journey?"

🐜 Ants start with the purpose to 'collect and store food' for the rainy season.

❓ They face ambiguities and challenges: Where, when, how will they find the food?

🎯 Despite the above, they succeed!

💭PURPOSE: "What is the 'Why' of my action?"

'Mont Blanc massif' like fragrance
In the misty air
Just, fluttering by

'Cheeky mesmeriser' like pretence
In the blue sky's stare
Just, intrigued by

Zoom in to bloom out
In Nature's care
Just, let go of your fear, guilt or doubt...

❓"What do you see?"

... asked Dronacharya.
🍃 104 students before Arjuna, described the clouds, the tree, the leaves, the bird, etc.
🐦 When it was Arjuna's turn, he
responded: "I see the eye of the bird, O teacher, and nothing else."
🎯 Focus allowed him to hit the target
