Right from my childhood I have been yearning for love. I met many in due course of time who loved me a lot. But there seemed to be something that kept them busy. They said " it is enough now, I have lots of things to take care of ". Something seemed to drive them away. I kept wondering what are the things that they needed to take care of. What is there in life other than to love and to be loved. I felt alone. I felt there is something seriously wrong with me , because everybody said such love never exists on this earth and not to bother them because they had "other things" to take care of.
I moved on, trying to get busy in things that all of them said were important. But I was not happy, nothing can replace the need to love and to be loved.
And one day I met a man who said he can show me where to find the love that I was looking for , he walked with me hand in hand telling me about love and life, and I realized that it is indeed possible to find that love, but I had to devote all my energy and attention to it.
At last I could see very clearly the source of it, shining and embracing all: it was seated there, deep inside my heart, ever expanding and giving, immersing me in immense joy.
Thank you Buddha.

Yes, it is me.
Why is Silent Tree Silent? :) World of Words doesn't fascinate, is it?
I agree completely about our lack of leadership and our backseat attitude? Now for the tougher question.. What are we going to do and how are we going to ensure we train ourselves and our genNext for the job..? Where can we begin.. Is there something you & I can start now.. if yes, I'm part of it.. :)
Trees are never really silent, are they? I guess with you, we have to hear the 'SOUNDS' of silence?? :)
Shree the silent tree speaks too....but in words that are not in our dictionary, and the sounds are unheard...
