SPONTANEITY
Nature reverberates with spontaneity- nothing studied or affected here.
Same with the pure and innocent- they react spontaneously without fear.
The sunflower exults in luxurious sun, streams sparkle with rainbow colors
At night, jasmine spreads fragrance and water simmers in moonlit rivers.
When clouds come, peacock cannot but dance; in spring the cuckoo sings
Butterflies gallantly court the flowers, shy touch-me-not always cringes.
A child's ecstasy at the sight of mother is also a case of spontaneous
response.
He is carefree and instantaneous-whether he cries or catches shadows.
But as he grows he is diffident to emote -he fears ridicule
He is taught to give measured response- cultured, civilized and oh! Cool.
But what a boring life is this - of feigned gravity and insincerity?
Enjoy rather the wild abundance- experiments with intuition and
spontaneity.
Unless one dares to go whole yard -he misses life's magic and vitality
Never hesitate to obey heart's diktat however ludicrous or silly
Experiences satiate some inner thirst and help enrich the personality
One emerges a man -mature, courageous with little remorse and grief.
And this is what life is about-finding peace within oneself.
