Dear LIFE,
You promised me a lot..
But what you have given me has surpassed all that u promised ...
I knew that both beauty and ugliness would come my way for nothing comes unalloyed in life..
My life has encompassed both good and bad because u have made me understand only too well that nothing comes unalloyed ...
When i look back and also regard the present , i realise that the richness of life is in bringing all these experiences together and weaving a beaautiful tapestry of them.. When i try to achieve my goals in haste, u slow me down..
u teach me patience, the value of waiting for what is worthwile..
u teach me that life is everflowing; like the river ~~~that gets around so many bends and boulders ..
u also make me flow over and around obstacles and difficulties... The trajectory i choose for myself now is different, on account of the lessons u have taught me.
By choosing not to identify myself completely with difficulties that come my way, i look beyond them and myself , despite my multiple identities , to the spiritually awakened self that's inside me... You often squeeze me like a lemon and so stress, pain and defeat become part of my experiences,.. u make demands on me .. i was made to take on responsibilty , to care for others and to give something back to u... how ever, when the demands became excessive u have shown me that sometimes i have to be squeezed to give out my best... Looking back, i find that u have enriched me with a gamut of experiences ... u've let me experience the fact that being tested does not mean one has to escape from u... In the course of my life... so many things happened.. but not every happening was significant... Life u r a twin sister of time... u have impressed upon me that i should do and undertake only work and activities that promote life, not destroy it... Yet may i request u : Please dont squeeze me like a lemon. .. i have learnt my lessons and the need to put up a good fight and keep the faith.. i will celebrate u and not waste the opportunity.. and when i whisper a prayer,
i will say
"thank you life, for the gift of self to me "
