Natural Art

There is so much beauty in the desert. It's been raining here and I have been enjoying the weather and the fresh air that comes with the rain. Found a "new" park close to the house (new for me and Chhaya that is) so we have been there twice now, walking laps. Look at this tall plant. I love it! So cute. You can't really determine the height of this plant from the pic but it was like double my height. Very tall.



I am one of those people that believe that plants/flowers/trees etc have feelings and thoughts. So I try to be nice to them and yes, I sometimes talk to them. And there are times I feel bad when I eat stuff that was once alive, like vegetables. Are you like that too?
Something grew just so I could eat it, that makes me very grateful. I'm glad that I don't eat animals.
And the color on this plant, I guess some sort of cactus, the shade of purple is just gorgeous.





I love the desert. I am in on one my pensive moods tonight.....thinking about life and death. I'm going to die one day and just be gone and not be here anymore? I can't accept that.
That's cruel. That is one of the reasons I think life is suffering. Cause in the end you die.
What a reward......



I think it is so beautiful when there is an opening in the clouds and a beam of sun shines through. Natural art. Is God out there somewhere? Perhaps above the clouds or inside the plants and the animals that we share this beautiful planet with. Please be more mindful of animals and plants and remember how much they give us. Respect nature and all living beings around you. Us humans tend to think it's all about us. But it's not. I believe that every single plant, animal and insect is here for a reason. Probably a much more important reason than that I exist and stomp my way through life, consume, trash, pollute, create noise.
What do I really contribute that is so positive and important? Not much to be realistic. A tree gives so much more than I do. I know this. Therefore I love the trees and the plants and all the animals and other living beings and I have to become even better at being a human worthy to exist on this planet.
