Free flow of thoughts ✨ : Celebrate Life!

By Shalini, Seawood#

Everyday we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognise: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black curious eyes of a child - our own two eyes. All is a miracle.

                                  -Thich Nhat Hanh

Early risers walk down the nature infused umbrella cover every morning where fresh morning dew, cool wisps of air, chirping birds, and a soft fragrance of a myriad trees beckon you. As you walk the 250 mts stretch you can almost hear your heart beat ever so gently speaking a language of sweet music. It's like nature is your best friend, only you don't notice it always. The sudden sound of a passing vehicle breaks the reverie but only momentarily. A gentle smile or a slight wave of hand or a subtle nod is exchanged among walkers, each one careful not to break the peaceful flow. Discover the feeling with your family on a Sunday morning or maybe a mindful solitude walk drawing you towards inner peace.

On a blazing afternoon, this same avenue of trees can resuscitate many hardworking household staff returning home or the odd migrant worker catching a siesta or the gardeners pruning the plants or the sweepers tediously cleaning the pathway.

Have you observed the canopy of trees with light filtering through shimmering leaves? Have you halted and taken a deep breath to feel the oxygen fill your lungs? Yes, all this and more can be savoured simply by walking under the green umbrella. Try it!
