Thursday Tree Love -13

My recent visit to Timmapur, a small little village in Kothur mandal of Mahabubnagar district, Telengana state. Approximately 43 kms from Secunderabad city. There is beautiful shrine of our Lady of Fathima – a pilgrim centre for the Catholics, who are ardent devotees of mother Mary and visit this place for the feast which is celebrated on the 13^th May every year.

David loves to go on   pilgrimages and it has been his desire to visit this shrine, so we together with 3 other family friends hired a vehicle and visited this place. It was a nice place and I got fascinated with so many trees planted here – the whole place was fully green.

I clicked a few pictures. I liked these peepal trees; I associate this tree with Lord Buddha who was enlightened under the peepal tree. This tree is considered sacred in our country by the followers of Lord Buddha and I see this tree planted in places of worship. I have always admired Lord Buddha and some of his quotes have been my favorite. I never get tired of reading his quotes. I even use these quotes in helping students deal with their thought processes. Few quotes to inspire:

“Your worst enemy cannot harm you; as much as your own unguarded thoughts”

“Happiness does not depend on what you have, or who you are; it solely relies on what you think”

“You don’t have to control your thoughts; you just have to stop letting them control you”

“All that we are is the result of our thoughts”

“What we think, we become”
