I wonder how much easier it used to be to have faith, back
in my parent’s day… when a naïve girl in her teenage, cocooned from life’s
matters, would be married to a stranger ten years older. This was the first and
the only man in her life. She would look up at him with devotion and make-believe
her heart that this is love. And he would manage somehow to be just that.

Passion or Obsession
I might be tired of writing the whole day but to release the stress I have to organize my thoughts by writing again… even if my hand aches, and even if my system is on snooze, because it drains my emotions on paper and it heals me mentally. It pacifies my encaged soul… and puts my mind to finally rest just before I slowly realize what my only passion is-Writing.

Guilt-free Comfort
If you don't have to crawl through the desert on your knees, repenting,
then what do you have to do?
Dance with your arms flung wide,
Kiss mystery on the mouth,
Eat shawrma for breakfast and salad for dessert?
Take what hunts you at 3am
Out for a convertible ride,
Discover its treasures as the road unwinds?
Exchange your destiny,
For one that looks better on you,
Then fling the other one overboard too?
Or perhaps, there is nothing you have to do.
Perhaps the "have to's" have flown away
And the nest is empty,
and waiting for you to 'be there'
Nothing more

It's true isn't it. when you are thinking about your loved ones, they are too.
one of the strengths of love was proven to me once when my mom's friend (who had taken care of me when i was a child) was appearing and re-appearing in my dreams, being thousands of miles away... when i was not in touch or had no idea how she was.
she would appear frustrated or angry at something, but quiet. every time i dreamt i would see her at some point or the other. when my mom decided i lost my nuts, i thought i should make a fool of myself, complete out and open and confess this to her son on the internet.
he took me seriously fortunately and decided to speak to her about it, if nothing else. it later turned out that there were problems... and they were confused too as to why i would be so concerned.
love cannot be found only in blood. it is the heart and soul that leads us to people who love us, even if we are indifferent to them. even if we decide not to love them, over and over. love takes us there because true happiness and strength in love is only found by surrendering. by being vulnerable to your loved ones. nothing can put you to peace without love.

Clean up
It didn't take me more than a day to understand that my problems are like math. They all have a solution. Only I need to relax and get to the root of it from all kinds of branches. These problems are harmless obstacles that can be overcome.
I mean, what about people who have been diagnosed with cancer but don’t have the resources to end it? What about people who cannot be blessed with children? Or worse, people who are under painful suffering, in shreds and pieces, still fighting for life inPalestine
Why can we not learn from their struggles? When did we start talking more about humanity and becoming less of humane... Breathe any air... drink any water... sleep anywhere- nothing's dirty.. it's our hearts that've become dirty. Find your clutter and work on it.

Today's Intention: Making peace for myself: it's my choice.
When you enter a place filled with tension, or are in need
of some calm loving energy in a hurry, imagine the color
pink, the color of unconditional love. Take a few deep
breaths and imagine your heart filling up with the color
pink. When a feeling of tranquility permeates your chest,
imagine that the color flows out from your heart and fills
the entire room. Feel a sense of peace saturate you and
those around you.

There's a thousand reasons
We all question, but in different ways, for example, people question your play with words, :), people question their God or whoever it is they believe in all the time, people question a million and one things....
My only concern... the questioning is negative, only when you are depressed, confused, unhappy - and so you achieve nothing out of it.
Amusingly, everyone needs something to believe in for their survival yet if they question, if they reason, it shakes their faith ... so we get used to sitting in our comfort zones and saying things happen for a reason... There is no reason if you can't identify it. :)
There is no blind faith without miracles and miracles are God's way of saying question it ... your life, your success, your dreams, your aspirations ... everything is for a reason.
