A drop of kindness 🐘💧

We are not humans.
If we do not have kindness in us. 
We are not humans.
If we cannot love our fellow beings.
If we hurt animals, birds or any little being, we are not humans.

In Kerala an elephant ate a food item. Little did it know that it was loaded with crackers. The crackers exploded inside the elephant's mouth. The poor animal died in extreme pain. It had a baby elephant in its tummy. 

How can we be so irresponsible? To leave crackers laden goodies in the open? It could  harm any living being. Or are we really so cruel to feed it on purpose? Where has our kindness gone? 

I pray for a drop of kindness. 
A drop in you. 
A drop in me. 
Drop by drop let it fill us.
Drop by drop let it heal us.

I pray for an ocean of kindness.
Kindness in you.
Kindness in me.

Love,
Ayan.

Floating Minds 🧘‍♂️🧘‍♀️

I start my day with a prayer and a visit to my secret river. Come ! Will show you. Sit comfortably or lie down. Close your eyes. Take a deep breath. Exhale. Again, inhale slowly. Gently exhale. Let us begin this journey. Slowly. The slower the better ! Imagine :  You are floating on the clouds. Gently. Slowly.  It is cool up there. Soft breeze is blowing.  The clouds land on a river bank. On soft grass green. You gently touch the grass with your palm. The smell of grass and fresh dew fills you.  You dip your feet into the water. It is cold. The sound of water flowing fills your ears. Kulukulukulukulu..... You wash your face with the water. The freshness fills you with joy.  Butterflies flutter around you.  Colourful birds chirp.  Flowers bloom. Jasmine. Gardenia. Orchids. The sweet fragrance fills the air.  Bees hum. Dew drop fall gently. Like snowflakes.  You feel Love. You feel Joy. You feel Hope. This is the best place to be in. Slowly you...

This Earth is my home.  This Universe is my home.  Your heart is my home. If I ever build a house, it will have a big lawn for pets to roam. It will have a garden of flowers, butterflies and bees. It will have all kinds of fruit trees for us and all the animals. It will have shrubs, climbers, bushes, herbs and all kinds of vegetables.  It will have a playground where I can fly my kites, ride my bicycle, play football and badminton. It will have a large pond where fishes and we will swim. And on its bank I will put my canvas stand. I will paint the most beautiful painting. If I build a house, it will have a large empty room. Painted all white and green plants all around. I will meditate with my parents. I will pray with them. Do Yoga, read my books and write my stories there. This house will have a room for me, one for Ma Papa, one for Koka Ennai, one for Aryan, his Papa Mom, one for Mainu Mama, one for Dodai Aaita and a big one for all I love. All are welcome!  We wi...
