“The most precious gift we can offer others is
our PRESENCE. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like
flowers”
Thich Nhat Hanh
I spotted this tree
at the International Guest house of the Young Women Christian Association,
Chennai during my recent visit for the South East Region Conference for women.
The moment I reached this place in the early hours, the first thing I got fascinated
was this lovely tree at the entrance of the guest house. While I couldn’t take
my eyes off – I started clicking pictures, with enthusiasm and happiness.
Reminds me of people
in my life who just by being themselves give me so much enthusiasm and
happiness. I feel so much honoured and grateful by their very PRESENCE in my life. The two days I was there I kept
admiring this tree as I walked in and out and around this place looking at its
trunk and the branches spread wide and green.
