Question

We have a hibiscus plant in our garden. Every fortnight a flower blooms on it – big, bright and

tender. Through the day it smiles with the sun and dances with the wind, but as evening

approaches, it starts wilting. The morning after, it withers completely and by evening it falls and

becomes one with the earth again. The flower comes to life only for a day, yet it does so in full

splendor. What if we too lived our life, however short, to its fullest?

We went to a rocky beach and saw the spread of the majestic ocean and the rocks

alongside, carved, sculpted and shaped by the water. Water is so gentle, rock so hard, yet, as

the water flows over it every day, for years, the rock gives in. It takes the shape that the water

commands. Our problems are so colossal and we are so small, yet if we persist…..

We saw small bits of grass peeing through the small cracks in a concrete pavement. It

left us thinking : however impossible things may look, there is always an opening……

We saw a tree bare of all leaves in the cold winter months. We thought its chapter was over.

But three months passed, spring set in and the tree was back to its green majesty once again,

full of leaves, flowers, birds and life. What if we too had the conviction that, however difficult

things are right now, it will not remain so for ever. Remember, this too shall pass.
