| Connection |
| Monday, March 28, 2011 |
You can connect with people, well, most people. By interacting with them you can get a perception who they are.You can connect with animals too. Dogs very much. Others to a certain extent.
But fishes? How can I know what they think of me, as I peer into the glass watching them swim? Do I have a connection? But I know they do see me. When I go close to the tank, to put some food, I can find them all super charged, swimming faster, closer to the top, waiting for the food. I feel they swimm fast to get my attention. Sometimes I play with them, dont feed them immediately. They swim fast, and slowly get back to their own routine, whatever that is. Then I put some food they come back. This is the only kind of interaction I have with them.
A few weeks back we got some plants, cilantro being one of them. We decided to pot it and keep in the kitchen by the window, allowing ample light. DH waters the few plants in the house. Turns out Cilantro needs more water than what DH was providing it. One fine evening we found it all droopy, looking forlorn and weak. DH poured some extra water. The next day, it was like by magic, the plant stood up, erect! We couldnt believe our eyes! Over the next couple of days, we also found the plant turning itself more towards the window, towards the sun. How direct and spontaneous are this plant's reaction to what it needs? In three days almost all the tiny stems tilted towards the window side, and the plant didnt look balanced or well rounded at all. So we did another experiment, we turned the pot 180degrees. Sure enough in three days all the stems once again made a 180 degree head turn to face the window. This is not much, but it sure felt like interaction to me, the plant full of life trying to get what it wants. Does it see me? Does it yearn to ask DH for more water as he pours water? Did it curse us when we turned the pot making it do extra work?
Last but not the least, the baby. I know her brains arent developed yet, but I read she can hear and see light now. What does her little brain think when I talk? When I cry? Or when I laugh? When I press my hand on her bum and she immediately moves away? When DH keeps his cold hands on the tummy to make her jump? Will I be able to interact with her more? What must she be thinking? I will never know cos I sure as hell do not remember anything from when I was in the womb. |
