Sometimes it happened the sounds of rain served as a mode of meditation and other times just gazing at the night sky, observing the twinkling stars brings out hope in midst of darkness. The more I spend times in the company of nature, the more open and lightful I have become and continue to feel so. Mother Nature has always been a source of learning and inspiration for one and all. She’s a home to all and can be a shield to those lost in horizon to revive. The resilience of nature widens up perspective, her caress always feels comforting. Nature cleanses and purifies our system. The one who remains rooted to mother nature and spends time in her laps always gets enriched at the core!
