Yesterday I got up little late
and while going out in the chilled front yard to stretch out in the open as it
was late for my walk time. On seeing that all the flowers of my Chameli plant were fallen on the ground. It was
not unusual They bloom in the night and fall in the early morning. The white
flowers are spread like a bed of flowers.
Vita_Sackville-West,of Sissinghurst_Castle_Garden the erudite English
gardener (who became famous for her White Garden in her estate, Sissinghurst)
said it best,
"White flowers are anathema to all but the oldest and most sophisticated of gardeners."
...so there you go! I must be very classy because I fancy white pansies,white euphoria white lilies and white roses.
This is a very sly way of saying
that if you like white flowers you are are so cultured and tasetful.
Such a serene white bed of blooms,
it made my heart squeeze. I couldn't resist picking them on the newspaper in my
hands and bringing them all indoors to float on the water in newly painted clay
pot. It makes me so happy to see it there sipping outside in the morning into
the cold, fresh, fragrant laden air with, lots of medicinal plants. Spending a
few serene and quiet moments with my face turned up to the sky most of the time
through the tree twigs, breathing in the fragrant chilled air, st airing the far
away star for “Trāṭaka ”.Such a glorous blue sky then fire like patches of rising
sun...again blue with white tints. Then I remember my morning ritual of
lighting The Diya of pure Ghee How short our days are becoming.....and today
was the smallest day of the year..the 22nd of December, I used to open the window set
aside the curtains welcome THE SUN in my room. So now, it is my time to smell
Jasmine flowers, I wish all of you could share my happiness too.
