Reflections – on living our “some” dreams

One day, I went to buy plants to donate to a temple. I was tempted to buy it for myself. That boy there recognized my look and asked me to buy a plant. I said, “Now, I don’t have space. Will come back when I shift and have space”.

He mocked me saying “How much does this plant need? It is so small. This plant doesn’t need any extra space.”

The way he said it hit me. True, that plant could fit in my palm.  

I came home and looked at the TV stand. I felt I could keep it there. Next, I noticed a computer table and I realized if I cleaned it a little, I could place a couple of those plants there. Then, there was no stopping me. I started seeing places where I could rearrange and accommodate those tiny plants in tiny pots.

I set about cleaning and rearranging things in the house. It was a huge task. I rearranged everything 10 times till I could place one or two plants at every place. A month later I went to that shop and bought 6 of those plants. I felt so rich that day!

Next, I looked at my balcony. I already had 5-6 pots. I couldn’t get more space but I was on fire. I was determined to get bigger pots now. I kept thinking and looking at gardening sites. I had a stand which I emptied and pushed onto the balcony. Now, I could get a few more pots.

That’s how my desire found its expression – little by little.
