There's so much you can learn from nature, if you have read Fractal Enlightenment for a bit you would know we find nature very inspiring.
Here's an interesting observation - one of the many fascinating views that one gets from the monsoon in India.
The monsoon brings life, places that are dry and arid, with temperatures going up to 50 degrees Celsius, turn into a lush green paradise, with waterfalls, streams and rivers.
The season is full of love, with frogs serenading, crabs burrowing a home, fireflies lighting up the darkness, birds building nests except for one bird. The Koel, a genus of the cuckoo, who has never built a nest in its life. They simply trick the crows by laying their eggs in the Crow's nest.
Not only does it lay an egg, sometimes it lays multiple eggs, and to ensure its survival they push out the crow's eggs from the nest. How does the crow, one of the smartest species of birds, get bamboozled by the Koel?
We're currently watching a pair of crows feeding three baby Koels, that have grown large enough to fly around, they don't look like or sound like crows at this point, yet the crows take the effort to feed all three of them.
It makes me wonder, is it the energy that the crow has spent taking care of the birds when they were young that they continue to do so?
Similarly, when it comes to our own relationships, when we put in efforts and are blissed out at the start with the good days, do we tend to avoid glaring red flags further on the journey hoping things will get better?
Sometimes even though we can clearly see what's happening, we choose to stay stuck in the same patterns when it's time for change.
Take heart that if a Koel can fool a bird as smart as a Crow, we too can get fooled or manipulated in our relationships. Like the Crow we too should finally move on, and hopefully unlike the crow we won't get in to the same situation again next year.
