Ohhhhh!! You know...I just love birds. I am a birds person and I am sure, like me, many of you must be so fond of birds. I just love watching them for hours. Though, I love watching moon and the waves of the ocean also for hours, but for now, I want to talk about my favorite loving birds.
One of the beautiful lovely creations of nature, a gift of Universe to us. I just wish, we could talk to them, understand their feelings and emotions better. How amazing, it could have been then, just imagine for a while...Parrots, sparrows, pigeons, peacocks and those different colored birds. How amazingly beautiful they are!! And peacocks, my favorite, specially, the white ones, when they open their feathers and dance. Ohhhh maaye maaye!! I was lucky enough to see them dancing once in rain.
As white is for peace, seeing white peacocks with feathers open and dancing was really like heaven on earth, amazingly beautiful. And to my surprise, they were talking to each other and to me as well.
Peacock 1 - Hey, it's about to rain heavily. I feel like dancing. Lets open our feathers and dance together.
Peacock 2- Lovely!! I also want to dance and open my feathers. But aahhh!! in a while, I am so hungry right now.
Peacock 1- Hey All!! Let's make a circle and dance together. We will look alike. We are the most beautiful creation of nature. People love watching us for hours.
Peacock 2- Really? You don't get scared by these people who come to watch us who want to come near us? Many times, they even throw stones on us. We also have feelings, we also get hurt. We are not a showpiece that they want to see us all the time. It's always the outer beauty they like the outer appearance. These human beings are selfish. They just see the outer beauty and not the inner feelings or our soul. Their eyes can see only limited, outer surface, not beyond the surface beneath it. If we wouldn't have been beautiful, they wouldn't have come to us or offered us food. I get so tired of them, looking at me.
Peacock 1- Well, not all human beings are like this. Remember, a cute little child had come to us yesterday? She was so happy, smiling pure and innocent like an angel. She also offered me food. I was so happy. She was very sweet.
Peacock 2- Ok...Let's dance now!! It's a beautiful lovely weather. It's raining. Hey!! Wait....there is someone coming near us. A human being.....should we hide??
Peacock 1- She looks like a nice sweet girl. Her smile gives me good vibes. Lets not hide...Let's enjoy!!! Lets make her also happy!! She is sitting alone and crying. Why is she crying?
Peacock 1 comes near me and spreads its feathers on me, on my face and asks me, " Why are you crying? Why are you sad? What has happened? Someone has thrown stones at you also? Beaten you?
Me- You will not understand. Both of us are created by nature but your life and our lives are so different. You don't have any pressure. You are free to do anything in your life. You can fly, you can dance whenever you want to, you can eat anything. But we have so much pressure in our life. We have to struggle so much to have food, to live, to wear clothes. We have so many expectations of others to fulfill. I wish I could just be you, free like you.
Peacock 1- Oh my dear!! As it is said " The grass is always greener on the other side!!" You can do so many things which we cant do. Universe has made all of us unique and together we can make a beautiful balance in the world, if we start valuing each other, respecting each other , caring for each other and loving each other. All of us need each other in some or the other way. And then we can see beauty everywhere. You are caged and you cage everyone.....that's not love!! Be free and then see, everything will become beautiful. Follow your heart and soul your inner voice.
Me- Yes You are so right!! Thank you so much my darling peacock!!! I love you so much!! You have taught me a very good lesson today.
Suddenly where is this huge sound coming from the huge noise...?Oh my alarm clock.....its 8 am in the morning....Where have the peacocks gone? I was with them a while ago....They were so awesome...?.Mom, Did you see my white peacocks? They were here with me just now.....
Mom- What peacocks? We have got parrots and different colored birds for you last evening and they are here....see....talking to you....chirping!!
Me- Thanks Mom!! I don't want to cage them. I care for them I love them and I want them to be free .
So, it was a dream , a lovely dream where I had last night where I met my lovely friends, my peacocks.
