Imagine a garden; well maintained with different kinds of trees and plants. Some are native some are foreign to the land. Small, big, tall, short of all different sizes and colours. That’s what makes the garden so vibrant.
Everything is growing every day, some rapidly, some gradually, few are taking shelter under a bigger tree but, still growing. But no tree is overshadowing any other to halt its growth. On the surface, everybody appears to be fighting for the sunlight but underneath, all the roots are connected to each other and sharing everything.
Every tree produces something, at its own pace. Sometimes one thing produced by one becomes the food for the other. Occasionally it gets battered by a hail storm and at others with an excruciating heat or biting cold but it keeps producing.
New trees are planted in a way that neither the garden nor the tree loses its symmetry. Old ones though leave sometimes; none leaving without keeping traces of their roots intact.
Picture a planned garden, it has inviting little pathways which are well defined. Benches to relax and even a play area. One of those rare things which look as beautiful from the close-up as it does from the distance. Nothing seems out of its place. If you were to describe it in one word, you would call it harmony.
This quote would explain the importance of that word in this context …
If we are to live in harmony with ourselves and with nature, we need to be able to communicate freely in a creative movement in which no one permanently holds to or otherwise defends his own ideas.
Legendary physicist David Bohm
Now. Imagine a workplace…
Its been a year working at LEAP Dev, I don’t have to untangle the vines of my metaphor. You get the point. It just has been delightful to be a small plant of this garden.
