There is an angst, a kind of apprehension in the air. Nobody knows what happens next with a virus that we may or may not be regaining some control over these days. We are helplessly hoping for a better world again and again, maybe in the spring? Maybe in the summer? Or have we become indefinitely toxic for each other? And while some progress is made, regress is just as real. We advance like crabs, two steps forward, one step back. What to do? The only solution I can think of is to green our lives at high gear. Get a new plant as often as you can and make your place the greenest possible. Unless it is already that, then kudos! The lucky ones among us have gardens or a piece of yard they can green, or at least a balcony or – enlarged – windowsill, and they will soon start to prepare what goes in or on the ground later, or rather sooner these years. The days will be getting noticeably longer soon. Let’s enjoy the winter, which has barely started, and let’s enjoy it outside where we can keep at a safe distance from each other – for now! Soon we’ll know more.
I wish you a happy & prosperous 2021!

Dance 9 Dancing With Nature
Let me dance with a free mind,
In tune with nature,
In alignment with nature,
Fearless and firm,
Faithful and friendly,
Holding the ‘Mudras’
So meaningful,
So powerful,
My head held high,
In dignity and poise,
In absolute joy,
With a deep sense of gratitude.
Geeta Radhakrishna Menon
