Selfless Symphony of Nature – Kaushal Kishore

All rivers flow freely, sparkling and clear,

Yet never taste the waters they hold dear…

They quench the earth, its life they sustain,

A silent provider to all, expecting no gain…

.

Trees bear fruits, rich treasures they grow,

Yet never partake of the seeds they bestow…

Their bounty feeds others, a love profound,

A quiet compassion, rooted in the ground…

.

The sun ascends daily, with radiant gleam,

Yet never bathes, in its own golden beam…

It warms the world, with the light to bestow,

A selfless, timeless glow, in its eternal flow…

.

All flowers bloom, the fragrance they share,

A fleeting gift but not for their own pleasure…

Their beauty spreads, to both earth and sky,

A silent, humble hymn to those passing by…

.

Nature whispers a truth, so simple to see,

Living for others is the only key to harmony…

No life can thrive solely for selfish delight,

In nature’s embrace, kindness shines bright…

.

The Flamingo And The Fox/فلامینگو و روباه – A Voice from Iran

In a green forest, many different animals were living harmlessly together.

The flamingo and the fox of our story were neighbours.

One day the fox invited the flamingo for lunch to his place.

That made Flamingo happy because becoming close friends with her neighbour could be fun.

The flamingo was very excited and when she went to Fox’s house the table was set and the smell of food was delightful.

The fox put a plate of food in front of the flamingo, with a mean smile.

The flamingo looked at her long beak, and the delicious food on the plate. She noticed his invitation was only to make a fool of her. She couldn’t eat at all.

The flamingo thanked the fox and invited him for lunch at her place. The covetous fox accepted the invitation. The flamingo left the Fox’s place

The next day, flamingo made some delicious lunch and set the table. When the fox came she invited him to the table. The smell of the food was perfect. The malicious fox was very hungry.

Flamingo poured the food into long jars and put it on the table.

She started to eat and kept saying why don’t you eat, it’s delicious.

But the fox couldn’t put its snout inside the jar.

The fox realized his act toward the flamingo was really wrong. Bullying is not funny or fun. The flamingo was nice and only wanted to show the fox how he makes others feel when he bullies them.

An approaching wildfire has forced the closure of NASA’s lead center for robotic planetary exploration.

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), which lies at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains just north of Los Angeles, has been temporarily shuttered due to the Eaton fire, which is raging nearby.

“JPL is closed except for emergency personnel. No fire damage so far (some wind damage) but it is very close to the lab. Hundreds of JPLers have been evacuated from their homes & many have lost homes. Special thx to our emergency crews. Pls keep us in your thoughts & stay safe,” JPL Director Laurie Leshin announced via X today (Jan. 8).
