A few days before Diwali, I had left around 4 in the morning. 

An hour away from the city is a small village. 

There were hardly any houses. 

I escaped the city for a while to find clarity and solace in nature. 

I sighted a fox and a peahen and the latter was generous enough to gift her feather to me. 

Whenever I find myself restless despite having enough physical rest,

I know my heart needs to go back to her nature. 

And our nature is nature itself. 

Oftentimes, the world is just loud enough to silence my thoughts. 

But under the open sky and in the company of trees, 

I found that all the answers are already within me.
