Woods do whisper

There is a very good library near to my house. Every sunday its my routine to check out some of the fine books in the library along with a fresh cup of White choclate mocha from the inhouse Starbucks..

Its my favorite past time. This week I came across a book called 'The secret ways of the Forest'. Interesting and intriguing read. I also watched one program called Nature in PBS. How do the big Brazilian Walnut tree is spread over the amazon basin. It part of the amazons natural ecological structure. Its seeds are as big as a canon ball.

The reason lies in the numerous burrow rats that bury these seeds in ground and forget to retrieve the treasure back. These seeds often lie underground dormant for many years until some of the growth above diminishes and sunlight seeks its way into the forest bed. Result new growth and a new Walnut tree.

Lessons that nature teach us are enormous. Like the Brazil Walnut tree we have to strike when the opportune time arrives, till then persist with patience.

More trickles will fall...
