Religious Love

Since I do not have much to do these days for my joining date is a month or so away, I have been watching movies and reading stuff on the internet. A movie I saw yesterday got me hooked to a natural phenomenon so much that I spent 4 hours doing an 'MRP' on it :-). The name of the movie hardly matters but it had an interesting scene. About love making and relationships.

It intrigued me so much that I wanted to read about it on the internet. No sooner than the movie ended Google was on. Then came Wikipedia...

When we talk about flowers, especially orchids, each orchid has specific relationship with a certain insect that pollinates it. Every certain orchid looks exactly like a certain insect so that the insect is drawn towards it as if the wild flower is its soul mate, its double. And it wants nothing more than to make love to it. And after that, the insect flies off to another soul-mate flower to make love to it and thus pollinating it.

I wonder whether the plant or the insect ever understands the significance of their religious love making.

How can they know that because of their little dance the world lives? But it really does. By simply doing what they are designed to do something large and magnificent happens. In this sense they show us how to live how the only barometer you have is your heart.

Now when you spot your flower you can't let anything get in the way. Love it.
