I missed the kingfisher today.From the day I have been posted at Balangir my early morning friends have changed. At Cuttack it was plants and veda but here it is birds and animals. Every morning before the sunrise a soothing environment prevails with cool breeze creating a silence like the placid pond in. Village temples .These ponds are so still that one can see the reflection of sun and moon in it sometimes the stars too. Same here the mind is so calm and still that it reflects the Self. To amuse the Self two kingfishers as if send by mother nature sit on the electric lines passing through a water logged field. The blue coloured wings reminding of Krishna takes one to a state where the past and future ceases with only present. Watching a kingfisher is my shortest meditation yet longest consciousness that lingers throughout the day. A conscious self is ever grateful to the problem s of life as if solving each problem is a step towards more freedom.........
