Serenity Hub in the Backyard
A Buddha statue for calmness
Who does not want tranquility,
we all,
but going to shrine,
not always possible.
So, I created one
in the backyard,
in the northwest corner.
A pebble path
hugged by daisies and mint,
surrounded by succulents
leads to a Buddha statue.
When I feel burnout,
I go and sit there,
watching Buddha’s peaceful face.
Sometimes I add seasonal flowers,
while listening to finches sing.
It is my personal serenity hub,
and I am proud of this nook,
where I inhale fresh air,
indulge in mindfulness,
and find meditative peace.

Staying sane in the insane world.
”It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” Jiddu Krishnamurti This quote has been one of my favourites since the moment I first laid my eyes on it. To me, it cuts right through the fog of the illusion of normality that permeates our lives. And since I am someone who has never felt (well) adjusted to this society, Krishnamurti’s words gifted me with the realisation that there isn’t anything inherently wrong with me.
