All is Quiet

 

Have you ever felt so sleepy, and all you ever wanted to do is lie down in bed for as long as you feel like resting? Times like that you don’t worry about what deadlines loom closely before you. Times like that and the world goes by as it does and you find out its okay to be left behind from the rat race that never seems to end. Times like that and you find silence. You find peace. You find what you’ve always wanted to have.

Sometimes all is quiet
And all is peace,
And there is nothing much to say
In the rustling of the leaves;
A child sleeps,
And a bird flaps its little wings;
And there is nothing much to say
In the rustling of the leaves.

Crossroads

Directions, directions, directions!

We’re all so worried where we’re supposed to be going that we often fail to appreciate right where we actually are.

Do I become less of a person merely by standing still? By all means no! Better to stand in peace than be urged to walk on out of fear.

The curse that lay upon my veins

There was a time that I cursed the curse that lay upon my veins.

Wild spirit chained
Flaming fire quenched over and over
’til it can consume no more
’til it can arise no more
with passions that blaze within my soul…

I’ve cursed my curse
and then I realized –

I’ve also cursed my gift.

Reasons for writing a blog

To every purpose, there are good reasons and there are true reasons. In writing a blog, for instance. People seem to have a gazillion of reasons why they are doing it, some monetary, others altruistic. As for me, the good reason is that I wanted to help other people, heal them and inspire them to live better lives. On the other hand, maybe the true reason is this: I write it because I wanted to be heard, I wanted to know – that I am not invisible.

The One Who Pursues Us

It is God who pursues us

who uplifts us

and protects us

and provides for everything we need

It is God who loved us first

who showers us with every good thing

we do not even know

All that is required of us

is the faith to believe

that He is there

that He is our Greatest Lover

the source of all that’s wonderful

there is in our lives

It is our part to be able to receive

such a love

to rejoice

because we have been called

because we have been found

because we learn

that despite the mundaneness of what we see

we are special

we are cherrised

we are in truth

God’s beloved ones.
