things that delight....

Is it possible today to focus on things that delight ?

Is it even fair?

In terms of context, reference is to the really difficult stuff that's going on around us right now.

The CAA....it's so hard to stay immune...near impossible to have civil discussion on it without getting someone upset, or for that matter without me getting upset, especially when talking to someone within the friend or family circle. Honestly, it's stuff that makes my blood boil...I can deal with the modi's and the amit shah's of the world, but when your own friends support it, my thresholds crumble. 

And we have Assam and Kashmir.

The heart wrenching pictures of the bush fires of Australia, be it people or the wild life.

How do we hold onto things that delight?

That's when you acknowledge the magnitude of the human heart and mind. It's paradoxical nature. How you can empathize and care.....and yet give, and feel delight.

How wonderful it is when you make others feel nice about themselves...... when someone says something that makes you feel nice about yourself..... how wonderful it is to see a peacock in full splendour.......how cute it is to see this dog that plays with you and then goes and finds a nice pile of leaves to cozy up in.......it's stuff that warms the heart.

The peacock and the dog from my kbr walk this morning......telling me it's always possible to find delight !
