Finding Heaven on Earth.🌻

Smiling Little Things

Chasing material existence created by humans makes us excited, but vulnerable, makes us thrilled but perspicaciously perched , gives us joy which is ephemeral, baths us in luxuries that have no end therefore gives satisfaction which is fleeting, versus chasing our natural existence created by the almighty calms our spirits, gives meaning to our lives with our minimum efforts, it is what ensues peace from within.

Associating ourselves with mother nature, finding connection with our loved ones, friends, finding beauty in the realm of God is like finding a heaven on earth.

View at 5:30 in the morning

Having born and brought up in a very humble house nested on the top of a hill station ,with a view of layers and layers of mountains from which the sun rises at 5:30 in the morning, Cuckoo calling starts at 6:00, initial years of my life were spent in the lap…

Irreversible Warming Tipping Point May Have Been Triggered: Arctic Mission Chief – Slashdot

The tipping point for irreversible global warming may have already been triggered, the scientist who led the biggest expedition to the Arctic warned Tuesday. AFP:“The disappearance of summer sea ice in the Arctic is one of the first landmines in this minefield, one of the tipping points that we set off first when we push warming too far,” said Dr Markus Rex. “And one can essentially ask if we haven’t already stepped on this mine and already set off the beginning of the explosion.” Dr Rex led the world’s biggest mission to the North Pole, an expedition involving 300 scientists from 20 countries. The expedition returned to Germany in October after 389 days drifting through the North Pole, bringing home devastating proof of a dying Arctic Ocean and warnings of ice-free summers in just decades. The $170 million expedition also brought back 150 terabytes of data and more than 1,000 ice samples.

मेरी डायरी

Vivaldi translation: my diary
जून 05 2021
Another common day. Night saw the dream, they lost their heart in the morning, wandering from the path and took shelter of rest

The easier it is to dream, the more difficult it is to change. It is not difficult because our path is difficult but difficult because we ourselves are the biggest distance between our dreams and truth. We do not dare but only slowly Try to end that distance on the right.

एक और आम दिन । रात ख्वाबों को देखा , उन्हें मन ही मन जिया पर सुबह फिर पथ से भटक कर आराम का आश्रय लिया।

सपने देखने जितना आसान होता है उन्हे सच में बदलना उतना ही मुश्किल। मुश्किल इसलिए नहीं होती की हमारा रास्ता कठिन हैं बल्कि मुश्किल इसलिए होती है क्योंकि हम स्वयं अपने सपने और सच के बीच का सबसे बड़ा फासला होते हैं।हम हिम्मत ही नहीं करते की धीरे चलकर ही सही पर उस दूरी को समाप्त करने का प्रयास करें।

Making A Mockery Of Our Lives …

Filosofa's Word

Of late, the Republican Party, aka GOP, have done most everything in their power to make a mockery of this nation, of the democratic underpinnings in our very foundation, and of the U.S. Constitution.  They have tested the limits of lunacy and it almost seems as if their entire goal is to prove that nothing really matters, that people don’t matter, the environment doesn’t matter, our very lives matter little to them.  Now, it’s easy to brush off their lies, their conspiracy theories as being beneath our dignity to even discuss.  And in one sense that’s true, but in another sense … their constituents listen to them, hang on their every word, believe them, and in far too many cases, such as January 6th of this year, act upon their words.  This means that yes, we must pay attention, we must be prepared to tell the truth, to counter…
