These
trees are at my work place, I see them every day; from various angles and they
look awesome. The first image is just near to the entrance of the building, and
the second one is the same tree from a close up view.
It’s interesting
to watch this trees as it is always surrounded by students who come here to meet
the principal/dean and sit on the rocks near this tree. I see them waiting,
busy with cell phones, sometimes even having lunch. I also find them with
little babies with caretakers under this tree feeding them and putting them to
sleep under this tree; while their moms are busy meeting their guides for the
research work.
I see
these trees everyday and admire the way its standing huge and tall and always
wanted to take a picture; I do not like to click when there are people around
the tree, causing them discomforts. So one morning early hours, before any student
came in, I quickly clicked a few pictures of this tree after parking my bike in
the parking space.
I am
blessed to be surrounded by these beautiful trees, which constantly inspire me
to be like them: provide space for those students who need my help, calm them
down when they are unable to deal with their emotions of anger, hatred, resentment, guilt, regrets and
sadness, help them to connect with their innermost part, to find peace within
and assist them to befriend and find beauty in themselves.
“Look within you
The fight is within you
And the resolution is within you
Within you is the source of hope and clarity
Within you is the source of peace.”

you for being here, may you be blessed!
That's such a magnificent tree. Like the way it is so branched out. You have a beautiful campus, Genevive. And I loved the lesson we can learn from these trees. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThanks shilpa, our campus is surrounded with greenery, you will love this place as I do. I am glad to learn and nice to know that you liked the lesson too.
DeleteNothing like a beautiful, green campus and a beautiful tree. I feel for those whose campuses are totally urban and bare (we have both types in the New York City I grew up in).
ReplyDeleteVery true Alana, its great to be surrounded by greenery, appreciate those who took the effort to ensure that seeds were planted at a very early stage in our campus. Nice to know that you have both types in New york city.
DeleteWhat a beautiful place to work in. Peace happiness creativity are all found inside. The poem is perfect. ThursdayTreelove
ReplyDeleteThanks dear for being here; its a blessing in my life to be working in this university campus, and those students who come to our centre always say that they feel calm and peaceful inside. Glad you found the poem perfect:)
DeleteWow! Love that tree and how it has stood the test of time, changes itself. Beautiful. The IISc campus in Bangalore has some amazing trees :) I will try and get some shots from there. Thank you for joining Angela.
ReplyDeleteThanks Parul, You are most welcome and its my privilege to be part of this photo feature:) if not for you- I wouldn't have the idea to click this tree. The Osmania University of Hyderabad is 100 years old this year,there was a centenary celebrations, and if you get opportunity to visit Hyderabad. You can just take ride and see the beautiful trees. I have identified some more lovely trees and hoping to post in the coming weeks.
DeleteI adore this tree! Every knot and twist lends it character. Reminds me of the great old live oaks you see in this area. I really need to join in and share some of our local beauty with the world. God's beautiful creation should be celebrated with all thanksgiving.
