Farming at the World Fellowship Center!

Here is the farmer man with pink pants! He is working at the field all day long, seven days a week with a happy face!! His work day starts very early in the morning when the sun rises and ends with the sun set.  In the evening, he sits on the leaving room sofa, reading for pleasure or just thinking about nature!! I haven't met a happy person like him in years! I volunteered to assist him in farming the next morning!!

After working all day long, I was exhausted but very happy!! I realized, happiness comes from being close to mother nature.

Kinship with nature is a great way to heal the mind and the heart.

The farmer man taught me how to prepare the soil before planting the seeds and how the season affects the plants. He also knows about medicinal plants that can help you recover form bug bites!!
ha ha ..the bugs were all over me, buzzing and singing on my ears.

Spider Web

Farmer Girl (me)

they were hard to get rid off.
I was in search for medicinal plants. Haven't found any though :(

However, I found some cool spiders and here is a photo of the spider web!

 I realized, We do not need much to be happy, all we need is to be satisfied in whatever we do. When the satisfaction comes from small things such as preparing the soil for planting, happiness is easily reachable!!

The World Fellowship Center is a wonderful place to discover yourself being happy just being you.
Sometimes we forget that we are part of nature. Living in the city , the man made mountains, we may feel that we are different from other living beings. Actually, we are not.
We are nature, alienating ourselves from our natural habitat brings chaos and imbalance in the mind. 
The calmness of nature brings balance in our lives, keeps our mind at peace and heals our heart profoundly. That is why, being close to mother earth brings so much happiness!!

Memorial Day Weekend ( May 26-28, 2012)

Stillness

Stillness is profound. The still, serene summer sky speaks out, when the sun has just set. It says, the best season of life is that when the mind is not clouded by random thoughts. However, clouds add color to the sunset sky, decorates it, and creates artwork. Similarly, having colorful imagination decorates our mind, creates harmony and brings peace to the restless mind!! The wisdom of nature is so wonderful, watching the sunset sky is a way to assure our mind that peace is here, in stillness!! Peace is here, in Silence!

Infinite Patience

The wonderful Mount Chocorua in New Hampshire, taught me how to practice having patience in life. Practicing infinite patience is a great challenge. However, while observing the huge and humble mountain, noticing the calmness of the water, and the slow movement of the clouds, i realized that nature has it's own way of unfolding things. Nature doesn't rush but things happen at the right time; at the perfect moment! Nature teaches us to practice infinite patience. Relax, let go, and breath deep when the situation is tense. Surrender and detach yourself. Only time will tell what's next and what's best!!!
