How to live to identify the Music and Dance from Nature?
During my morning walks, I
say ‘Good Morning’ to the birds & trees, all living beings I come across.
Though they may not understand my verbal communication, they understand my
emotion and respond.
To those who may doubt me,
the following will clarify.
According to the scientist
Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose, a plant treated with care and affection gives out a
different vibration compared to a plant subjected to torture.”;
‘Plants can see, hear and
smell – and respond’;
When you are extremely happy
due to unforeseen positive development like winning a gold medal or birth of a
child in normal delivery, etc, your face and body language will radiate so much
happiness that even strangers (even if they were in dull mood) around you (who
may not know you or the reason) can sensitize your happiness and feels
energized, partly reflecting in their face and body language.
During my walk both in the
morning and evening, some times during winds, I used to witness the up and down
rhythmic moving branches with leaves in matching rhythmic movements in the
trees. It just reminded me the radiating happiness mentioned above.
I had come across references
in the ancient Indian Tamil texts, explaining the keys to identify the Music
and Dance from Nature.
For example,
“oru thiRam, pAdal nhal
viRaliyar olkupu nhudangka.
´ ஒரு திறம், பாடல் நல் விறலியர்
ஒல்குபு நுடங்க, ¸
(one side, movement arose
from dancers matching the music)
oru thiRam, vAdai uLarvayin
pUng kodi nudangka,
ஒரு திறம்,வாடை உளர்வயின்
பூங்கொடி நுடங்க, ¸
(one side, movement similar
to the dancer arose from stem with flowers subjected to cold wind)”
- From ancient Tamil text paripAtal;

The following dance just
reminded the dance movements I could decipher from the dancing branches with
more interesting movements of the leaves with the stems, synchronizing with the
movements of the flowers in the nearby plants.
‘Thousand Hands Dance -
Tarian Seribu Tangan’
We may not know the
‘emotion’ (which science had begun to unravel) of the trees. Still we can
sensitize the happiness like the strangers mentioned above.
When plants & trees can
respond to my ‘Good Morning’, why not the birds?
Whenever I hear the birds’
sound, I enjoy deciphering the musical substructures from them and explore musically
garlanding them to compose a music.
No wonder, I start the day
with full of life steam that will last till I go to bed.
Start the Day with ‘Good
Morning’ to Birds & Trees’;
Minus the human intervention
of the definition, the life in nature’s view has no death but only
transformation in the role of gene related atoms and molecules; gene: a unit of
heredity which is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to
determine some characteristic of the offspring.
Also both buried and burnt bodies, in the course of time, become the food for many living things like plants, birds and fishes.
“food influences our gene expression, and can modify it, sometimes dramatically, with significant consequences for our health, both positive and negative.”

“food influences our gene expression, and can modify it, sometimes dramatically, with significant consequences for our health, both positive and negative.”
Only people in the state of
good emotions can start the Day with ‘Good Morning’ to Birds & Trees’.
“scientists are discovering
that positive emotions don’t just make you feel good — they have an impact on
our social interactions and health outcomes that may become written in our
genes.”;
Hence say good morning to
not only to birds and trees, also to the ‘inanimate’ live objects like rocks,
clouds in sky with wonderful designs and colours during sunrise and sunset. We,
a part of nature, say good morning to the other parts of nature, as we say to
the other human beings.
