The perfect start to a day…

A moment of joy…
The feeling of bliss…
An experience of inner peace…

I walk into my classroom and as I stow away my purse, I look out of the window. A feeling of calm descends over me! It is spring time and there are new leaves popping up on the ‘semul’ tree that almost touches the window pane of my classroom…

Each day I observe the (slow) progress. About 2-3 days back, the leaves were curled up, securing themselves from the unknown world out there. But slowly, as they learnt to lay their trust in the environment, they uncurled and opened up! Their veins laid bare with the sunlight streaming through their existence. The sun-kissed leaves, looked brilliant as they glistened with the new found confidence.

It’s a feast not only for the eyes but the soul too, to watch the leaves grow. These moments fill me with positivity and a sense of calm aka a perfect start to a day!!
