Through this blog like the spring Hippocrene on Mount Olympus, after which it is named - streams my poetic outpours my wild musings and my creative hues.

It is all about my new addition to my menagerie. My friend gave me a squirrel.But a maimed one.His tail was mutilated and was in an inflamed condition.I didn't have the heart to say no but it was painful for me to look at him. But he stole my heart with his friendliness.He would come running to me when I opened his cage.Without any hesitation he would take whatever that was offered him. He would lie down to scratch his back occasionally.Twice my dogs attacked him but he hid deep inside his nest which he himself had created inside a pot with coconut husk and banyan bits I had provided him. Now he is a sight of joy for me.He has a bushy tail and he looks quite handsome. Looking back I realize time heals and we should offer to look after the sick and and the wounded however pain full the sight is.

Gratitude
The other day I had
the luxury of just sitting down and going through a bit of my past days of
hurry burry. I didn’t even have time to think anything straight. Of all the
loved ones who were there to help me two people stand out. I don’t know whether
they know how much they helped me standing there smiling encouragement, or coming
up asking me to sit and relax or even eat something. They are so young but they
seem to have the wisdom of ages. They never came to the foreground so I often
missed them and couldn’t pay much attention to them but they were there for me
and that was the greatest gift they gave me. I shall never forget them for the
time they gave me for being with me as one of my family. Their presence graced
the function. Even my family had taken them to heart. They have strengthened
some of my own visions of life. Be like water and take the shape of the vessel
it contains. Presence is more important than anything. Blend, blend and merge
with the situation you are in. Don’t demand anything God will take care of you.
Now I really miss them.May God bless them where ever they are.
