Musings of the mind within the sky

Beyond the world's highest peak, where the air thins and stars wink like a million playful eyes, lies the spirit realm – the inside of the sky. Here, light particles shimmer and sigh, catching their breath after their tireless races across the cosmos. They bounce off seamless clouds, their laughter echoing like wind chimes as they recharge for their next grand adventure.

Hidden like secrets whispered in a seashell, rain slumbers within the sky. These are no ordinary raindrops, mind you, but tiny tear-shaped dreams waiting patiently for the clouds, their fluffy guardians, to unleash them upon the world. When a playful light particle bumps into a slumbering teardrop, a symphony of colours erupts. They paint the canvas of the sky – vibrant purples of hope, fiery oranges of courage, calming blues of serenity – each hue a reflection of the emotions shared in this dance between light and rain.

But the sky holds more than whimsical games. Deeper within, guarded by swirling auroras that paint the night with emerald fire, lie the universe's secrets. These aren't revealed by mere dust devils or fleeting rain showers. No, it takes the mighty roar of a magnetic storm, its energy a cosmic whisper, to momentarily part the veil and reveal glimpses of the grand design, a cosmic blueprint whispered in stardust.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of this fantastical realm, a peculiar sight unfolds. Asteroids, rough and rocky, line up preening before a shimmering, ever-changing curtain. This is their vanity table, where they attempt, in a cosmically endearing way, to "put on makeup," shedding bits of themselves to appear smoother. Of course, their efforts are charmingly futile; under the watchful eye of the universe, all things remain true to their nature, a testament to the beauty of imperfection.

Finally, within the playful light, slumbering rain, and ever-shifting auroras, lies the heart of the sky: the buzzing kitchen of imagination. Here, dreams are whipped up with stardust, stories simmer in nebulae, and the very essence of wonder takes form. It is in this fantastical place that the playful winks of stars transform into shooting constellations, and the whispers of clouds become bedtime stories dreamt under a sky overflowing with magic, a playground painted with the emotions of the universe itself.

EARTH DAY '24 - THE FACTS

It's  2024 and Global temperatures are rising at an alarming rate . The average surface temperature has increased almost 1.5°C (about 2.5°F) . The loss of biodiversity disrupts entire ecosystems, impacting everything from clean water to food chains. 58% of the global population, or 3.8 billion people face water scarcity and we should question the loss of biodiversity in another post, as the list is longer than ours! Thanks to our ignorance of other residents we share our planet with ! The oceans are not giant trash cans! 88% of water is filled with plastics. We are at the situation of consuming air polluted at 53.3 micrograms per cubic meter. Now I'm not surprised 544.9 million people in the world face breathing issues!  Deforestation, desertification, and other forms of land degradation are reducing the Earth's land productivity.  1.83 billion trees are planted every year, while 15.3 billion are cut down due to human activity. This means that one tree is planted for...

A green shadow

In the midst of emerald fields, Where nature's beauty never yields, Lies a shadow, deep and green, A sight that's rarely seen. It dances among the trees, Whispering secrets on the breeze, A cloak of verdant hue, A symbol of life anew. It stretches across the land, A guardian, strong and grand, Protecting all that lies beneath, From the harshness of the heat. It's a reminder of the earth's embrace, A symbol of its endless grace, For without this green shadow, Our world would surely fallow. It's a haven for creatures small, A shelter for them all, A place to rest and hide, From the scorching sun outside. But this shadow is more than just a shield, It's a symbol of life, forever sealed, For without the greenery it holds, Our world would be barren and cold. So let us cherish this green shadow, For it's a gift from nature, we must know, A reminder of the earth's might, And the beauty of its green light. - Bharathi Senthilkumar
