Like most of the people I guess, I have my list of things that I want to do, and are still waiting. I am not sure what I am waiting for and what would trigger the escape velocity for me to come out of my routine and actually work on things that I really desire. I have enough time (no matter how much I shout that I am very busy), I can afford, but I postpone.

“I wanted a perfect ending.
Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme,
and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end.
Life is about not knowing, having to change,
taking the moment and making the best of it,
without knowing what’s going to happen next.
……….   Delicious ambiguity”.

Gilda Radner

I absolutely love his excuses :

Why do some people deliberately try to hurt others?  Others who try their best to be out of the way!!!

I am a staunch believer of inherent good human nature. It is my strong belief that people are basically good at heart, that is is inherent kindness in every soul. But then I meet such people who make special effort to hurt you, who are spiteful by nature!!!  They are so bitter and carry so much baggage that even on happiest occasions of their lives if somebody calls to congratulate them, they don’t have grace to accept the wishes , but have to make snide comments to hurt other person .. making her regret why she made that effort!!!

I just pray to God that He bless them with so much inner peace and happiness that they forget all about being bitter. May God bless their souls and fill their hearts with love and compassion so that it gets manifested in their interactions  with others.

Please God …. I don’t want to change my conviction…….

God is like a loving and doting parent who would deny you the evening snack because he doesn’t want you to spoil your appetite for the fantastic dinner he has planned for you (and not to mention the dessert…)
But the spoilt children as we are .. we throw a tantrum, accusing God of being unjust, not loving us enough blah blah. It is only when we are served the amazing dinner that we realise what he had planned for us. 

My all time fav Richard Bach quote summarises this so beautifully –

“The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the Master calls the butterfly”

“Even stones have a love, a love that seeks the ground”. Meister Eckhart

The snow has begun in the gloaming

And busily all the night
Had been heaping field and highway

With a silence deep and white.
Every pine and fir and hemlock
Wore ermine too dear for an earl,
And the poorest twig on the elm-tree
Was ridged inch deep with pearl.
—-James Russel Lowell
