Lessons From The Humble Garden...

Nature often teaches us life's greatest lessons. I learnt a few over the past week.

  • What's true today may not be so tomorrow.
  • It's important to be more aware of our surroundings - not just as something you watch and admire from afar, but as something you literally come into physical contact with.
  • People must not be classified. Human beings are way too complex to fall under classifications.
  • For every 5 annoying parts of a person, there would be at least 1 pleasant one. Turn a blind eye over the 5, and the 6th will get us going.
Yeah, nature taught me all that. I have no inkling how - but it did.



Grandness that has been near me for the past year, but which I only really noticed today



This tree, with its amazing "regrowth" in the past week, is a "teacher" in its own right




And yet, to keep us grounded to the realities of life, this too exists in the same surroundings
