Unbounded Randomness

So often this word is misinterpreted, overused and modified as per the needs and conveniences of people and situations. And still…….it remains the most difficult thing to achieve even for the best of us. Everyone seems to running around to create this 'Balance' in their bodies, minds and life situations. I am a Yoga teacher and so I often use this word ‘Balance’, while instructing a student on posture but what that really means for the student is left open for interpretation.

Unconditional Love…… Nothing more or nothing less can be said about this word. Whatever definition you put forth for this term, limits its meaning, its essence.

The tree was looking back at me in encouragement as if nudging a small child to take her baby step. The expanse of that tree was so vast that it covered a diameter of around 5 meters around me, sheltering me in its shade like a big grandfather.
