Zinda hoon mein....in a garden!

Zinda hoon mein....in a garden!

In Pakistan we live our lives as if we are living in the jungle. What ever is out there, we work around it and, we let nature take it course. But what most of us don't realise is that we are actually living in a great big garden. 

What's the difference? Well in a jungle one lives their lifes to whatever comes your way. Every day is filled with dangers and you must be ver ready and alert. If you are attacked by predators you react, by running or fighting. Somedays you hunt for meat. Somedays you forage for fruits and herbs. Unable to change your world ,you just live your life based on what comes YOUR way. You just survive one day after another. 

In a garden you are the one in charge. Sure it's more work, but the rewards are ample too. You decide what you plant and where. You decide what flower you plant and what vegetable.  

It is your duty to tend to all plants and animals.You plant what will nourish your family. You trim the trees so they can grow tall and give better fruit. You remove flowers from the shadows to plant them in sunlight, so they may bloom fragrent flowers. You shield other plants from direct sunlight so they don't wither from the strong sunrays.  

If you keep up your garden it will prosper and bloom. Bringing you and and all it's residents a sense of peace and joy. Soothing to the eyes and uplifting to the soul. 

Our life is the same, if we just let it go on, we are living in the jungle. But if we take charge our lifes become a Garden in bloom. We decide who we add and who we shun. We decide what thoughts and concepts should be allowed in our life. We decide who deserves attention and care and who thrives in seclusions. We decide who, and what things, are like weed in our lives and should be kept out of our llives. 

But like a garden these things need tending to every day. Otherwise before we know it again weeds overgrow our. 
You tend to the garden often and keep out all weeds. If you don't tend to the garden, weeds will invade and overgrow your beautiful sanctity and they will smother all beauty in your garden. So phoolo, phallo khush raho!
