Atleast I planted the tree ...

Dont know where we come from and where we go..
for each one comes alone and alone do they go...
is it not the fallacy that we think that we live in groups..
that groups and the surrounding makes us happy or otherwise, 
each one ponders and wanders on their path, to learn or not...in their journey of life...

In life's daily matters,
I take false pride when I do some good by helping someone ... 
I dont know what is good or what is bad in the larger scheme of things as my view is myopic
and that what is done cannot be undone..
yet that fallacy of good I perceived that feeds my ego 
I create some friend and some foe 
based on our own perception are the images each has built in their own minds of being my friend or my foe  ... 
but in my biopic 
Atleast I planted the tree...

Who knows that some day who will sit on that tree .. 
a chirping bird or colourful chameleon  
or a passerby taking some rest under its shade
who knows that the rain water that tree beholds in its roots would water its neighbourhood and quench their thirst. 
for i don't know what shape that action will take 
but atleast I planted the tree.. 

Who knows that tree would cry on its lonesome standing.. 
who knows that the tree may have to stand the storms .. 
and bear the droughts and curse some more on its hardships due to some one who led it to its existence ...
was it the hardships that it bore alone which was making it modest and wise or was it its virute...
and how would it even know the blessing that the others gave to it for the calmness and solace it gave to them...

Who knows who keeps the count of goodness or blessings.. 
but atleast I planted the tree....
I dont know who 'I' am who planted the tree.... 
some day "I" will vanish like everyone else..
will that tree remain ? 
I dont know.
but atleast I planted the tree...

on good deeds and karmic connections ...

the world is on its own charted / uncharted path ...  which at times we feel is in chaos and is in utter need for corrective action... in our limited time frames we try and judge bad and good depending on the limited vision we have and on the circumstances we are placed in .. when we start worrying about the bigger change to bring the world back in order based on 'my' own perception .. we may feel discouraged to even take one step to do good contribution.. it may discourage me to even take one small step thinking that in the larger scheme of things that step would be immaterial,.. but this should not stop to do 'good', a 'good' which makes my conscience lighter and makes me feel good..
every action I feel has to weighed with karma being added or deleted from your life..

                                                                             -x-

what connections we make with other souls of the universe we don't know ... there are karmic connections.. and may not sound logical but you connect to them beyond words... what name should a world call this relation which made one connect instantly as opposed to worldly relations which took its time to establish ? Pondering over the same ..

'Stand still'

Stand still o my soul and ponder..
those birds and beauties in nature yonder..
take some time and look around the beauty of this world before it is gone, 
what you reap would have been sown, 
take some time in solace to reflect and thank the good in life, 
cos old age reflects what you sow -good or bad what you did in your life..
