Nature Brings Endless Happiness

As if I have cracked the code

of endless happiness.

It is watching nature,

how flora and fauna interact.

So, I engage in it a lot,

every day.

A wild parrot feeding on ripe mangoes

on a hot summer day in India,

I was not the one savoring the fruit,

but the spectacle filled me with happiness.

That’s a killdeer bird,

foraging in hot, acidic terrain

of Yellowstone National Park,

showing adaptation and resilience.

Sea gulls sharing space with sea lions

on the Pacific shore.

Now tell me,

did it not delight you?

When we pay attention to other

beings, we banish our own stress.

Immerse in nature more

and reap rapture.
