The lemongrass, the tomato and the moneyplant….that is all I have in my window.
The fresh green colour and the merry movement of the leaves in the mild wind is a pleasant sight.
It can lift a low mood into the normal. It can give you some fresh green hope.
It happened today.
I was sitting by the window in the morning….there was this lingering low mood of the day before….
I had slept reading Eckhart Tolle’s “Stillness Speaks”, the earlier night.
It said, “Look at a tree, a flower, a plant. How still they are, how deeply rooted in being. Allow nature to teach you stillness. When you look at a tree and perceive its stillness, you become still yourself. You connect with it at a very deep level. Feeling the oneness of yourself with all things is true love.”
The early morning’s cool breeze set the positive mood of the day.
I sat in the window looking at my lovely plants. They were silent. Deeply rooted in the earth. Very silent.
How can we determine their mood? Or, do they have any mood at all?
They are there. They exist. They don’t make noise. They are still. They are there.
My lovely greens…..my green hope!
….and I have that hope everyday at my window…..!
It’s there. Always there.
As long I nourish and water my plants, it will grow and look healthily green.
I will see it every morning and I will feel it every morning.
I have it right there…..!
….and I am happy!
