A 'CARRY FORWARD MESSAGE' FOR 2016!


In the morning hrs of Thursday, Dec 31st, 2015, as I was on my usual morning walk in the park near to my house, I noticed 5 cute little girls and 2 handsome boys aged between 6-8 in total attention near a fountain in half sitting pose keenly observing the ground around.. As I went close to them, I happened to peep in there and instantly noticed a medium sized caterpillar crawling on the floor tiles.. 
  • So majestically he was moving in different directions every time coming back to the same spot!  
I left the scene, made another round of walk and came back to the spot again.. The girls and boys were still active, sitting and watching the creature closely.. Mean while one girl ran and brought a big leaf lying on the ground at a distance.. Another girl tried to make the creature crawl on to the leaf.. 
  • But they were totally unsuccessful in that as the creature cleverly evaded the leaf every time they brought it close and moved away.. 
For a while, I too joined the children observing the creature.. “He is a Centipede!” a Little One told me with her eyes wide open.. “I've learnt about him in my class..” I assured the children that the creature is harmless and tried myself to take it on to the leaf.. 
  • No, he turned back.. For some time it was a graceful dance.. I repeatedly tried to push him on to the leaf expecting him to crawl, but every time he turned, rolled over and evaded the leaf so beautifully.. All great fun! 
The girls were in attention for some more time.. 
  • By that time, the creature moved to the side wall and started its further on ward journey.. 
As I made the final round of walk and sat on a near by bench, the children retreated from the creature and moved towards their usual play.. I continued sitting there for some time relaxing for a while musing over the finer aspects of life around.. 
  • How the Almighty had provided protection to the little creature crawling in front of those golden hearted children who all the time paid their attention to the small one on the ground in a unique manner without disturbing the creature's majestic living and at the same time learning their own lessons of Nature.. Such a wonderful built-in Mechanisms of Survival and Learning side by side!
As I moved from there, I firmed up.. 
  • 'This is sure the way of protecting our Nature as is around us as we live gracefully thru' our life with total satisfaction in our hearts and the little boys and girls have shown here in front of me doing 3 things simultaneously with a great happiness in their hearts Viz.,
  • Helping out the Nature around to be as is the max,
  • Learning Great Lessons in the process for self improvement and
  • Be content and joyful with just doing the right there!
If at all I'm carrying forward the Best Message to 2016, this alone is the Right One.. 
  • 'I'll never borrow the Little Ones' precious Future Gift God has given them as the Original Nature around for expanding myself and instead work towards preserving the very Nature for them as the Right Future Gift and nothing less of it at any time!
