The
trees on the road side standing like guard of honor, right from the moment you
enter the university campus till the exit of that road, you will find beautiful
trees on either side of the road welcoming every one – for me it looks like a
greeting J.
I look
at it with wonder and tell myself that they are standing for so many years
welcoming every passerby; I am sure they would have welcomed not only students/professors/employees
but every single person who have travelled that road.
I marvel
at these trees and feel so proud of them for they do not bother about colour,
caste, creed, nationality, gender, religion, size of the person, embracing all
they welcome, sway, with no pride and prejudice – no ego problem -thinking I am
the tallest, or I have many branches, I am huge and very senior to my
neighbors, or I am closer to the intelligent students who study Maths, Physics,
Astronomy, Engineering, technology etc.
They
just silently stand respecting every person who enters the university, no
matter what faculty one belongs, they appreciate and give space for parking
vehicles, sit in the shade and provide fresh breeze irrespective of all the
differences.
Grateful
for them to have reminded me – once again in my life, that every person is
unique with a great capacity to not only exist but to fulfill the purpose they
were created for, and I must learn to accept and love them unconditionally as
they stand welcoming every one without
conditions.
I made on a comment on my phone Genevive, now I'm on my computer and I see my comment was not posted. But just to say I had a fleeting thought that if gratitude had a colour, it would be green. Great post thank you!
