Birds...Trees...Life


Couple of crows sat on the brown branch of a tree full of cheerful green leaves reflecting the mellow morning sun. The sounds flowing across the air was an amalgamation of bird talk and cool breeze rustling the leaves as if testing the beauty that those soft leaves flaunted elegantly. The sun shone somewhere in the shadows, waiting for its hour to strike when it would shine in all its glory. The squirrels meandered about the trees, looking for something, restless, searching.

The crows were joined by a pigeon but they did not seem to mind. Soon they were to fly away , possibly purposefully or just due to their innate restlessness. Do birds really have a purpose? Maybe, it is not their burden to decipher. They just are, doing what they are programmed to do, thinking little, acting for action’s sake and living. Is there a lesson there for us, the only ones granted the exceptional and rare ability to think about things like purpose, become sad about the past and worry about the future? But that is not the point. 

The point here is that there are birds and trees and sunlight and breeze and squirrels and music. There is Life and it is beautiful.
