Mornings are special times. When I woke up today, a new thought spoke to me. It spoke to me of will of Nature. The Will that sends forth the light from the sun, pushes up a plant from a seed, … that one will that manifests around us in nature.  The thought was triggered by the rays of the sun that greeted me as I woke up from sleep. And I asked myself the will behind this sunlight that sneaked in here.

Today I chose to write as few as comes from Inspiration, and leave out the rosy descriptions of my mind, the rhetoric, and the useless intellectualization. (thanks Uma). Helps me catch and retain the essence.

Today on my way to the Cyber café, I came across a cow whom I see everyday at this hour of the morning. In recent months, the sight of a cow has evoked within me a particular nice feeling, something that wants me to reach out and touch it. Maybe it was the Hindu concept of its holiness that drew my attention to it initially.

 Now the cows have a peculiar smell and when you are close enough you can smell it. My mind would have once termed it as dirty, in a way of cautioning me away, even before I had time to let the smell reach my lungs.

However perhaps the Hindu notion of its holiness, drew me to the animal, to touch it and then touch my heart center (the middle of the chest region). And over the months I have been noticing this sacred animal, as I performed the sacred ritual of touching it to sanctify myself.

In perfectly tranquil state it chews on its cud, sitting there right on the road beside a shop. You are infected with its state of tranquility; the way it remains unaffected by your action when you reach out and touch it. It seems to trust you completely.

At times you will find it standing perfectly still in the pasture outside my window, chewing on its cud, its tail shooing away the flies. And it is a great sight to see it, so unaffected, so Still. And I find a new feeling in my heart… love.
