This is an excerpt from my book 'Flight to Eternal Happiness'. Happiness is not a state that we should seek or look out for. In fact, contrary to popular belief, happiness is our natural state. It does not grow or diminish in value based on external or internal factors. If a blue bird, in spite of all the hardships, insecurities, uncertainties knows how to be happy, so can we!
Happiness
A surprise visitor,
who would
change the course of my life.
The little blue bird
landed in my garden
on coarse grounds.
The happy chirps
against all the odds,
the gentle wings
braving the heaviest storms,
in the vastness of space
navigating its way,
from mountain meadows to deserts,
thriving every terrain with grit.
Isn’t it for every reason?
that we follow
the happy bird in every season!
