Grateful By Ketaki S. Vaidya

The season of miracles Have you seen one? Then get up from your "thinking Chair" and let's go for a run!   The trees were deciduous are suddenly covered with green where did these flowers come from? last month they were not seen   The clouds are busy wandering around The Sun is playing hide and seek The birds are singing their sweetest songs with marvelous colors on their feathers and beak   The hills and mountains are tired of brown Green is their new dress code Did you know green has so many shades? you can see it all from the side of the road   The rare sight of the Sun and rain with the clouds coming so down and low The Sky definitely wants to connect to the ground it is sending pretty rainbow   Some one asked me, "Do miracles happen, can you take a guess?" I looked at the Springtime weather and quickly said," Oh! heck yes!"   

While I was complaining  about the cleanliness of the water park in my city some one was working hard  to work on a water conservation project so that the villages going through drought can get drinking water without having to walk miles While I was complaining  about the taste of dessert on my lunch buffet some one was working hard to start the concept of food bank in their city so that no kid in the nearby village goes to sleep without having anything to eat While I was complaining about the corrupt politicians and weak police force some one was working hard at the border without thinking about their lives so that the whole country can get  a good night's sleep While I was complaining  about the polluted air and water in my city some one was working hard to plant that tree so that my kids and grand kids can breath the air freely While I was complaining about having to go to my air conditioned office ...

नसूनही असणे तुझे  माझ्यात रे सामावले  अव्यक्त तू तरी व्यक्त ही  तव थांग ना परी गावले  तव रंग ना अन गंधही  आकार ना निराकार तू  परी अस्तित्व सारे हे तुझे  इंद्रियांतुनि मज गवसले  निर्गुण तू भावहीनही  तरी भक्तांनी तुजला पकडले  जे जे स्वतःला विसरले  त्यांसी मर्म तुझे हे समजले
