Reena’s Exploration Challenge #98- Perspective

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #98

PROMPT WORD

Perspective

I have changed my perspective

till now it was

thank God!

the glass is half full

now

I see the glass half empty

worried

horribly

if our attitude

towards

misuse and

wastage of water

continues

soon

we will be left

with the empty glass

 

 

Confused- The Daily Post

Confused- The Daily Post

I’m confused, utterly confused.

So I wish and pray to God to come to the earth for once and end all the confusion about,

“Whether it is he or she?

Is there only one god or multiple Gods for multiple communities?

God belongs to which religion?”,

and keep all the minds at rest.

Then only people will stop making speculation and stop fighting with each other and start living in peace and harmony.

Or I’m wrong?

Will it end all conflicts? Will people stop fighting or they will find some other issues to fight?

First of all, will they believe in God if he comes in front of them simply as it is?

People believe in miracles.

People have become habituated to believe and get cheated by all types of fake god-men, babas, and sadhus who perform magic and promise to fulfill their desires.

Only God can find a way to end all this confusion.

Enchant Your Everyday: A Month of Loving the World

Day 13- Fearless

I am fearless

as I believe in, God

angels and miracles

in miracles of all the blessings I’ve got

in angels

believe and they are there

in many forms

friends, lover, children

sometimes as a completely unknown person

to strengthening me

after every hardship

standing with me in my battles

consoling when I lose

cheering when I win

 

 

Wedding Anneversary

Yesterday, 10th Aug. was my 42nd Wedding Anniversary. I wanted to write so many things but my daughter sent me a cartoon about in-depth observation  of my 42 years journey. I thought why waste words when a picture can tell a story perfectly.

So ENJOooooooooooooooooooooooY friends.

 

This is one of my old poems but fits the bill, I think.

leap of Faith

 

We were poles apart

Destined to come together

In the name of God,  love and friendship

We took the leap of Faith.

Sometimes our paths were dark

Sometimes they were bright

Our compassion and compatibility

Made us bond together

And God set everything right

 

Haiku- Plan

Uncertain is life

Future unpredictable

We plan and God laughs

Sufi Prayer- Rabia

” Oh God, if I worship in the fear of hell, burn me in hell and If I worship thee for the desire of paradise, exclude me from paradise, but if I worship thee for thine own sake, withhold not thine everlasting beauty.”

The Tea Ceremony

Paulo Coelho

In Japan, I took part in a tea ceremony. You go into a small room, tea is served, and that’s it really, except that everything is done with so much ritual and ceremony that a banal daily event is transformed into a moment of communion with the universe.

The tea master, Okakura Kakuzo, explains what happens:

“Tea ceremony is a way of worshiping the beautiful and the simple. All one’s efforts are concentrated on trying to achieve perfection through the imperfect gestures of daily life. Its beauty consists in the respect with which it is performed. If a mere cup of tea can bring us closer to God, we should watch out for all the other dozens of opportunities that each ordinary day offers us.”

 

“there is no trouble so great or grave that cannot be much diminished by a nice cup of tea.”

bernard-paul heroux

 

“I am not at all interested in immortality, only in the taste of tea.”

Lao-Tzu

Leap Of Faith

We were poles apart

Destined to come together

In the name of  love and friendship

We took leap of Faith

Sometimes our paths were dark

Sometimes they were bright

Our compassion and compatibility

Made us bond together

And God set everything right

Compatibility at its best

HEAVEN- Haiku

Why search for heaven

Look at loving mother and  child

God is somewhere near

A Prayer

O God ! please let me have

Jealousy, greed, selfishness, haughtiness,

hatred, cruelty, and lust

as my enemies.

Ego, stubbornness, anger, hunger

mind and body

as my slaves

Love, positivity, compassion, compatibility,

kindness, courage, and righteousness

as my companions.

And You and my conscience

as my mentor.
