Change

It is difficult when you miss someone knowing that going back is close to impossible! It is even more difficult when something becomes such a vital part of your life, and you have to live with having to see it everyday with not really being able to touch it!

But I believe that every time a door closes upon us, a million others open. Happiness comes from doors we never know we left open.

Life is ever-changing.. like the moon, and the skies, and the seasons. Problems happen when it does not change for as long as it takes to get used to it, and suddenly life decides to take a route that is least expected, with us ending in a frenzy over what we lose, and what we get to face as a consequence.

But I believe this is for us to realize the worth of a lot of things, to realize that what we have must not be taken for granted, for we get to know how some things are so important to us only after we lose them.

But I also believe that God never takes anything from us – he replaces! He knows when we get used to something, and so he gives us something as good or better than what we lose. It doesn’t make us forget what we lost, but he does make sure that we get a compensation. This is why beauty and love never lessen, for God has created this world upon a balance that we do not understand. This is why life never loses its meaning, it is just that we take a little while to understand what God really means by what he does.

God is the most loving and the most beautiful!

I refuse to believe..

This is something really fascinating that I came across today.

Lost Generation

by Jonathan Reed

I am part of a lost generation
and I refuse to believe that I can change the world
I realize this may be a shock but
“Happiness comes from within”
is a lie, and
“Money will make me happy”
So in 30 years I will tell my children
they are not the most important thing in my life
My employees will know that
I have my priorities straight because
work
is more important than
family
I tell you this
Once upon a time
Families stayed together
but this will not be true in my era
this is a quick fix society
Experts tell me
30 years from now I will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of my divorce
I do not concede that
I will live in a country of my own making
In the future
environmental destruction will be the norm
No longer can it be said that
my peers and I care about this earth
It will be evident that
my generation is apathetic and lethargic
It is foolish to presume that
there is hope!

And all of this will come true unless we choose to reverse it!

Now read it from bottom to top.

O' sun of a midnight

This is something I wrote when listening to ‘Moonlight’ by Brian Crain. It is an excellent composition. I wish I could play piano like that.

O’ sun of a midnight!
Wake me from my blind
Reverie of the silence;
Play me a song that saves
My heart from its death;
O’ sun of a midnight,
Drown me in every swell
Of every note that you play,
Play for me till it fills
Each silent crevice of my soul!
Play till it gluts the stillness
Of the wasteland that broods
In each of my veins!
Play till I choke,
Play more till I drown,
In the song of the dawn
Of a truth that returns me
To a life I’d forgotten!
O’ sun of a midnight,
Prick me so an ocean
Of feeling swells high,
After a lifetime of death,
And an eternity of calm;
A calm that kills,
A calm that deafens!
Play for me till I die again;
In the arms of a melody
That fondles my heart
And makes it beat
Through immortal death!

To love and eternity!

First ray of sunshine!

This is the first ray of sunshine at this blog. Its fascinating how brightness takes over the pitch dark, every tiny ray of light extending its arms to envelop the world into its embrace, pushing at the heavy gloom with such lithe movements that it is actually ironic how light could take over something so intense, something that pushes all its weight on the horizon to make it dark in the evening. It reminds me of Shakespeare and his love for opposite: ‘O’ heavy lightness! serious vanity! Mis-shapen chaos of well-seeming forms!’. Beauty is senseless, yet it is everything that makes sense!

It is yet more fascinating to see all those people who make our lives beautiful, like those rays of sunshine that steal their way through heavy curtains at the window to wish us a good morning. Like those rays of light so beautiful that they can actually be touched and smelled! Such beautiful are those people that make our lives bright and shiny, and make our every day worthwhile, and every night full of promise of another day, new with fresh sunshine!

Here’s to all the sunshine, the morning breeze, the fresh leaves of the spring, the sound of flowing waters, the chirping birds, and all those beautiful people that make our lives bright and shiny! Here’s to the first ray of sunshine!
