Another Freedom lecture time for Samanvaya and I normally look forward to be part of the celebration and contribute a wee bit. In my process of reinventing myself, Samanvaya team under Ram has a primary role! I rediscover my singing ability and every year, I gain a little more confidence to sing in front of people. This year, I realised, I couldn't do that as I had a severe cough! But then, I felt I had to give something for the day
and worked myself into a frenzy calling for help to find a poem or verse on the theme, 'Small is Beautiful'.
A friend of mine mentioned about those tiny dots metamorphosing into a beautiful and intricate Rangoli' design. That set into motion- my stringing together words into a verse.Never thought that it would strike a chord with many people there! Here, At the request of one of those people, I am posting it here with a little explanation. Let me make it clear that all the situations/similes found in the verse are ideas of grat poets like Valluvar, Bharathi and others.
*********************************************************************************
The beginning of a huge Peepal tree is in a small seed;
Tiny little dots come together into a big design;
Like a Goliath felled by a David, a small force can
defeat a huge army with the timely moves and strategy;
similarly, a venture begun with conviction and confidence in self
will certainly bring success and success can be infectious-
a small spark can set off a big fire as Bharathi has mentioned!

Small is Beautiful
Even a small patch of water can reflect the moon in the sky;The beginning of a huge Peepal tree is in a small seed;
Tiny little dots come together into a big design;
Like a Goliath felled by a David, a small force can
defeat a huge army with the timely moves and strategy;
similarly, a venture begun with conviction and confidence in self
will certainly bring success and success can be infectious-
a small spark can set off a big fire as Bharathi has mentioned!
