MOUNTAIN STREAM

                                                       MOUNTAIN STREAM
 A mountain stream  shows what God can do with a drab and dirty world. Flowing fast it carries all the dirt accumulated during its absence in summer .

Unknown to many , uncared by anybody and at the same time not caring anybody , the mountain stream keeps flowing  on its way  to a rivulet , the river  and at last  to the mighty Ocean to become part of the Ocean .

It is small and beautiful .

Myriad are the ways of the Lord God.

Waterfall and wild flower of wayanad

These  photos are taken in wyanad of Kerala . We were all alone amidst nature . Greenery , smell from medicinal plants , wild blooming flowers take you into a different and charming world . We were literally spell bound at the tranquility and serenity of this place . A must see for nature lovers . Really God's own land .

Come forth into the light of things, let nature be your teacher.
William Wordsworth

Share your spirit with the waterfall , (which is) akin to a young bubbly child , full of vigour and vitality .

When oxygen and hydrogen find one another, their joining produces fiery passion. Out of this fire, water is born .

Wild rivers are earth's renegades, defying gravity, dancing to their own tunes, resisting the
authority of humans, always chipping away, and eventually always winning.

Men may dam it and say that they have made a lake, but it will still be a river. It will keep its
nature and bide its time, like a caged animal alert for the slightest opening. In time, it will have its
way; the dam, like the ancient cliffs, will be carried away piecemeal in the currents.
Wendell Berry
