The Glowing Sky

  The leading wind that blows, Carries all. The demanding water that flows, Baffles all.   The soothing sky that guides, Helps all. The caring nature that flowers, Nourishes all.   The curving path that writes, Engages all. The coloring pattern life draws, Amazes all.

  Recently received a beautiful surprise for Christmas at 'l'école Les Volènes'. With the joyous mood all around, I took a step back to reflect on several of my realizations and learnings from the year 2021.   1) To learn and to serve are two most satisfying acts. 2) Be curious and 'live in the present moment' like a child. 3) Extract positivity whether from the sunshine or from the cold weather. 4) There's no idealism. There's determination and explorations to carve one's own 'unique' path. 5) Take that one step most needed initially then the rest will take care of itself with time. (I find this the hardest one). 6) To not be too integrated or too separated from the societal issues. (The Sociologist, Durkheim's philosophy) 7) Keep adapting to 'new' changes. This becomes easier when we feel united from within. 8) Just smile!
