Shadow is a colour as light is, but less brilliant; light and shadow are only the relation of two
tones.
~ Paul Cezanne
Pull down the shades on the windows of your soul, and gaze into your mind and watch the wisdom unfold
~Beanie Sigel
Childhood game.
Agree and disagree.
Disagree and agree
was simple and fun.
Being in adulthood
for a long period.
Things are twisted.
Minds get rigid.
Ideas are fixed.
Windows are
tightly shut.
Agree – disagree
is not fun any more.
Friends mock others.
For being liberal.
For being kind to others.
Being rationale.
And most of all
for opposing
the fake image
of nationalism.
Staying and suffering
was optional.
The weight of
fake friendships was
heavy.
She chose freedom.
Now question is
Will she be happy?

Be kind

We were back on our favourite tour. Moderate temperature between 5 to 10 degrees and visiting clouds helped us to keep hiking. We managed to walk 11 km with an ascent of about 576 metres in 3 hours before lunch. We could not go futher due to ice on the top.
Spring flowers are scarcely blooming and mostly on the sunny side of the valley. Though almost every survivng plant/tree showcase lovely buds.
We saw a batch of beautiful purple wild flowers, Genus Hepatica, perennials Chionodoxa (Scilla) in the buttercup family growing along the roadside. It looks like flowers were waiting for some sunshine. Jude has corrected the name of these flowers.
Stay safe and be kind.
At the end of my 8 km walk I came across this tree quite unexpectedly. This view made my day.

It was a fun exercise looking into archives to get the idea of April in yesteryears. Snow in April is not exceptional.
