The beauty of nature surrounds us, but its beauty is often wasted as we rush through lives filled with work, family, and other responsibilities. What if we were to slow down for a moment and take a look around? What would we notice, what would we learn? Surely, more than we could have imagined. Poet Ajit Sripad Rao Nalkur admires the wilderness around him, while living in southern India. His words bridge the gap between the human world and the world of nature, where small details speak volumes and inspire peace. He writes not only of nature´s majesty but also of our connection to it-a connection we can choose to ignore or embrace. In this collection, an artist seeks and waits for his muse. Little things bring great joy, like a single wildflower or the serene power of silence. Nalkur´s words reach beyond the page and into the reader´s innermost being, challenging each of us to emotionally connect with nature. These poems remind us all to slow down and admire the miracle that is life on Earth.
