On a Sunny Day..

Starting to see the charms of this city.

When you can go from this

 

(notice the see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil photo happening in the corner) 

To this

in a 20 min cycle ride!

I took my notepad with me and looking back through it I found this poem from my time in India (another time when I was more connected with nature).  I had a Banyan tree outside my room in Pune where I lived for 3 months, in fact the whole area we stayed in was lined with these beautiful old trees.

By the Banyan Tree

By the Banyan tree I sit and watch the rain fall and wash the earth

By the Banyan tree I lie and see the sun turn the sky pink

By the Banyan tree I sleep and awake to the birds singing
