When trees, stones and water speak....

Just before I put in this post, I tried twice to put in a blog on 'The Pangs of Separation,' but both times my computer wouldn't let me publish my post both times after all the alignments, settings, colour was given. It was a message from Providence that I should just stop there.
This Universal Messaging System is one thing that I have observed happening constantly around me - when I just looked out of the door at home and saw the leaves of the coconut tree, I just had to close in on the space between the two thin leaves to get a lesson on the mild yet strong web of connectivity that pervades the whole universe.
Once it was while travelling in a bus and I got a call on my mobile phone. For receiving the signal better, I had to lean a little towards the window and it got clear. Eureka - a thought on life emerged - With our ideas we construct an encasement around us just like the bus and this often prevents us from picking up the signals floating freely in the air.
Looking intently at a lamp a lit for meditation I was able to see that, the lamp, the oil, the wick and the match stick create the conducive situation for me to witness that superfine presence of energy which in its even more superfine state is called Param.
As for the messages written on the forehead of cars on the road - they are innumerable - When I need it most I will read: My Presence Shall Go Before Thee or U Think Positive and The Rest Will Follow or the more contemplative ones such as Music Makes The World Go Round, Who Am I? or simply names of gods and goddesses or mantras that immediately hold my wandering mind and remind me of the presence of the divine.
It can be a film song while travelling in a share auto, or just a traffic cop yelling from the pit of his stomach at some errant cyclist, or the grumbling of a bus conductor, or an SMS that flashes the answer when I have a question in mind, I know beyond doubt that it is here, there and everywhere.
