“Emptiness
the starting point – In order to taste my cup of water, you must first empty
your cup. My friend drop all your preconceived and fixed ideas and be neutral.
Do you know why this cup is useful, because it is empty?” Bruce Lee

I
am impressed with this tree, which is a little closer to the centre, last seven
years I am riding everyday this route, and today I found this standing out among
so many other trees. I have seen this
fully green but never felt the need to stop by and click, with summer setting
in- the leaves have dried and fallen; giving it an aesthetic look….
I am sure
this tree would have seen so many summers as it kept growing and still
continues shedding old leaves and giving birth to new ones… something for me to
learn in my life.. nothing is fixed and there is no experience which is final,
like this tree keeps shedding its old and dry leaves, I too need to keep shedding
my past experiences of hurts, failures, perceptions
opening myself to new learning’s and welcoming newer experiences of learning J
