The return from the bustling streets of Dubai after schooling to the serene embrace of Kerala a moment of insightful reflection for me. A beautiful nest, cradling fragile eggs, and the fluttering little birds in front of our grandparents home stirred a quiet curiosity within. 🏡🥚

Turning to my maternal grandma, I inquired, "Do we eat those eggs?" Our views often found themselves in parallel universes, navigating through different generational and conservative currents. Yet, her response opened a portal where compassion flowed freely. 🌊❤️

With heartfelt sincerity, she spoke of the pain and loss the birds would endure should their eggs vanish. "Why extinguish their joy and something as precious as life for mere moments of our minuscule satisfaction?" she pondered aloud. There is a joy that pulsates through observation of these tiny beings. 🐣🍃

Something more refined, something more intelligent, always strikes a cord with my center. As Chamtrul Rinponche puts, "whatever you do, whatever path you take, observe if we are becoming a better human".
