Writing Care - 15 July 2026 - Journal Notes

 Writing care is very serious hardwork. 

It requires a certain sense of mindfulness, to be aware of the smallest details in the ordinary, that makes a moment, sacred. 

Its almost youre being both the caretaker and the one cared for. 

Now, to capture how being loved and cared for, is like, every heart beat of yours, is slowly, taking a new beginning. 

Its a slow and steady love. Unlike a flamboyant display of passion, it is heart warming..., where like almost every guesture leaves a mark on the soul...

Interestingly, today is pushya nakshatra. The symbol of pushya nakshatra is the cow's udder which stands for nourishment. In my village temple, a cow was to deliver its calf and hadnt delivered yet in my village temple. After recovering after my short health hiatus, I was reminded to visit them.

In contrast to the city life, village life has a charm of its own. 

Everything is SACRED. 

The trees, are manifestations of the divine. 

The river is but, mother goddess..

The first husks of rice , are offered to God.

The first rays of run, in Sankranti, are celebrated....

Looks like im digressing.....

My househelp, vividly tells me how she takes her goat for grazing a good one hour. When they describe the bond, I cant help but wonder...... if she loves the goat more than her children....or rather more than anyone else....Reminded me of this song......where the girl collects all the flowers garlanding the calf .....

While thinking of writing care, I was reminded of this scene from Malgudi Days. 

I remember fantacising in my school over the romanticism of it.....only wishing someday I experienced love like that.....
