A moment in time

Don’t shut the book yet !
There will be a twist in the tale
Wait for the moment!
For one moment, is all it takes
To change the course
Of history .

The moment realisation dawns
Is when you will rewrite your story
Turning the mundane into a best selling...autobiography.

#writer_wt

They say that , the pen is mightier than the sword

I remind myself of that constantly

And pray to the Almighty

For grace

To allow my words to soothe and heal

When words be inadequate and unreal

That He empowers me with grace

To love His people and my brethren

Unconditionally

I write therefore as His wisdom leads

With a prayer and hope that my pen will reach

My brother or sister who is out of reach

Emotionally

When all seems dim and the day is dark

May my words enkindle a spark

A desire to rise once again

A belief within that with Him

I will win

Undoubtedly

I fear the day when I could write

To please the crowds , and likes invite

For that will signal the end for me

The death of the writer who once wrote

Prolifically

O Lord , may that day never dawn on me .

#happiness_wt

I could never understand why they say
That the key to happiness lies in one's own hands

Unlock it and throw away the key !

Happiness should roam the world freely

Why restrain it and keep it under lock and key ?

#water

How do I plant a seed of hope
In soil infested with the worms of
Hopelessness and despair

Spray a can of the pesticide called faith
Uproot the weeds growing in between
Water it with good deeds and let them soak in
And fertilize it with prayer and positivity

Wait patiently and you will see
The fruits of your labour
Will flower in abundance

Just ensure to keep the snake out
Permanently.

#trekking

It was pouring in the afternoon and the entire hillside was engulfed in mist. When we started our trek today early morning the skies looked clear and bright , but that's the thing about the hills. One never knew when the weather would change abruptly .

So here we were now sitting at the roadside tea and maggi stall , waiting for some vehicle to pass by , so we could hitch a ride back to the hotel.We as in Sarika and me .Both of us were solo travellers. This was my 5th trip with the women's only group and Sarika's first.

Visibility was very low due to the thick mist. It was best to stay put now. Thank God that our mobiles were charged and connectivity was decent despite this . We had informed the rest of our group back at the hotel that we were safe and would manage our way back.

Suddenly I heard a sound. It sounded like the engine of a car. And the horn too...." yippee!" shouted Sarika , running towards the sound. " Come back ! " I screamed at her. But she wouldn't listen .

Screech !!! Through the thick mist I saw the Fortuner, break and Sarika fall. A man got out of the car anxiously but Sarika was up before him. I heaved a sigh of relief .The man seemed to have got quite a shock . He was visibly shaken .But there was not a scratch on Sarika .

" Thank you for stoppng the car" I said. And narrated our story to him. How we had left the hotel in the morning and were in our way to Echo Point when it started raining and we had to halt at the tea stall
I requested him for a lift back to the town, and he was too happy to oblige us .Sarika was quiet all through the journey.

At one point when we were entering the outskirts of the town , she asked to stop the car , saying she wanted to call home..It was urgent as she had suddenly remembered something .She didn't have her phone , she had dropped it when she fell maybe .
Her fingers also hurt , so she asked me to dial a number for her .

I did that , and she took the phone and went out take the call.

After a few minutes she came back and said she wanted to be alone and I should carry on to the hotel she would see us later .She seemed a little sad , so I agreed to give her some space After a mere five minutes drive Mr Sinha .dropped me to the guesthouse and went on his way .

After a nice hot shower I went down to the lobby and saw my friends all seated around the fireplace enjoying hot chocolate .But Sarika wasn't with them. They were happy to see me ... relieved was more what they felt. We all went looking around for Sarika but she hadn't returned .

I wonder who she had called up from my phone .I decided to redial that number and see.But when I unlocked my phone I saw that there were 7 missed calls from that number to mine. My phone was on silent mode and I hadn't heard any ring .

I redialled the number .It was Sarika's residence number. Her brother answered the phone and he said yes Sarika had called them.up and they were also very concerned about her after that call.Sarika had called them and said she loved them and to forgive her if she had hurt them ever .And then she abruptly cut the line .Her phone was unreachable.

Where was this girl ?

#peace

Much has been said about peace today
We all want it yet don't want to drop our guards
We are driven by fear and endless possibilities
Of " what happens if.."
So we better be prepared

On the pretext of defense
We pick up weapons
And threaten to use them
When things heat up and emotions flare

How do I explain what peace is.
And where my children can find it
The best they can do is Google it
It's a place in history
Far away from reality

The "dove" is symbolic of the Holy Spirit of God

I know for a fact that the world needs peace today and so does every person on this planet.

Forgiveness is the key to good mental health.

But the point is , I have met many who don't want to forgive .They ask me irritatedly " Why ? Why should I forgive ? I have been wronged and I don't want to forgive ".

I agree that's an individual choice . I can only advocate that if one has the freedom to choose , shouldn't we choose well.?

Look at the benefits of forgiveness...peace of mind , healing ,joy and you open supernatural doors ( yes they exist ) to your progress in life . You attract positivity and goodness which are the blessings of God .

Then there are the ones who want to forgive but cannot forgive . It's something they have struggled with for many years . Wrecked with psychosomatic disorders ,they struggle through life unhappy.For them too I have an answer. Pray for your enemies. For those who hurt you.For those who continue doing so. Pray for them and bless them in prayer .
And God will work supernaturally in your own life.

World peace

World peace ?
It all begins with you and me
Individually

A little bit of time
Spent in solitude a day
You can meditate
Or sit down to pray

There is chaos all around
Especially in the mind
Only in still calm waters
Your reflection you find

The benefits of prayer
In contemplation and peace
You will be filled
With calmness and ease

Practise the Pause
No need to react
Breathe in and out
Let the moment pass

Watch your words
Especially when upset
Rein in the tongue
The troublecauser
That slimy, spineless one

With the same tongue you pray
But when you get into the fray
You abuse and curse
And make things worse

The best way to exist
Is to love one another
As brothers and sisters
And in harmony co exist

What do you do then
When your heart is hurt
After all I am human too
Is everybody's famous refrain

Exactly my point ,
For being human is this
To refrain from giving
An eye for an eye and fist for a fist

Instead return all with love
The hurts and abuses
And you will have peace
For Vengeance is His
We only have to... forgive

How can we hurt someone we love
But how can we love the one who hurt us?

It's so simple , look at the cross and you will see
Love flowing in the form of blood and water, unconditionally

To simplify it further I will clarify
That all it takes is your will
Your free will to exercise
In wanting
To obey..
His word which says
Love one another as I love you
Especially your enemies and bless those who curse you

That's all it takes , your desire to forgive and love
And He then does all the rest from heaven above
He will send you His dove
And empower you with grace
His grace
Is all you need

My friends to win this race

And this post bears no connection to what's hapenning at Mirakee these days .

I am a strong believer that I should judge myself by my fruits ...fruits are cultivated ...one had to work towards it ...so at the end of the day I try to sit in contemplation and judge my actions of the day .My motives , my thoughts , my deeds.Where I fall short I pray for true repentance and forgiveness and try to reform myself.

We live in difficult times today
Eyes blinded to what's being conveyed

Wars fought over matters of religion
It matters not you come from which region

What matters is the fruits that are on display
On the matter of fruits this is what Jesus had to say

In the end times ,there will arise many a false prophet
Who will turn many with eyes ... blind sighted
Judge them not by who they claim to be
Observe the fruit and judge the tree
They may appear sweet as an orange
But oranges grow not on a coconut tree
Similarly you won't find cool cucumbers
Growing on a bitter gourd plant , for you see
The fruit is a tree's identity
Just as behaviour in adversity, exposes a man's true identity

So what will bring about harmony ?
How do we restore peace in humanity?

The only answer Jesus said ,lies in loving and forgiving
Not once and twice but repeatedly , also maybe illogically

Remember this my friends that the enemy is one
He is the one sworn enemy of all humanity

The devil , he's been defeated no doubt by the Lord
But stubborn he is, continues to wage war
He can't do much , so he attacks your mind
Fills you with thoughts that go against God's plan
Insecurity , fear, camouflaged in anger and doubt
Makes one self destruct and cause own self harm

Be alert for he prowls ready to pounce on his prey
He hates all God's children,the ones who to Him pray

He sent His Son as a ransom for all
Religion and division was created by man
God is the author and source of Love
Not just Love....Agape Love

Strive to be in a state of meditative observation ... every time

"Open your eyes and look at me
I have come to wreck your peace "
Said the temptress to the yogi laughingly.

The yogi opened his eyes and smiled knowingly
"When I am at peace with myself and the world
No one can take it away anymore from me."
You can only wreck my peace,
If there is no peace inside of me.

So saying, the yogi closed his eyes in meditation
And the temptress went to pieces in frustration
With the realisation
That "It's all boomeranged back to me.!"
