The Sky Blushes

i discovered the joys of walking in late 2002 when i went through a very difficult period in my life. Walking and talking to God was therapeutic.There were days when my mind just protested waking up at 6.45am but i pushed myself and glad for it.

The early morning walks were invigorating...my quiet time to ponder about life,to dream and to talk to God.My senses too were heightened and i appreciated the beautiful colours of dawn breaking,the melodious singing of birds,the rustle of leaves when the wind is strong.Feeling the breeze in my face really rejuvenated my spirit.

i healed body,mind and soul and it was during one of my walks that i stood spellbound by the beauty before me.My emotions stirred and my eyes misted.This is what i wrote down when i got home:-

THE SKY BLUSHES

A shy tinge of pink...
Dusky splashes of vermillion
across a canvas of grey and blue

Masterful strokes even Michaelangelo would envy
Magical stirrings within the being bursts forth
into awe and wonder

The sky blushes...can it be?
or
GOD's first painting of the day?
Colours of the sky
creates palettes of emotion

Blessed are those
witnessing this magnificient artistry
acknowledging GOD's greatness
and
the humble soul that we are.

Music conquers the mind and sets it free ... to experience wonder and beauty in unison with the indescribable To just BE ... Music feeds the spirit with love ... Powerful and priceless.

No Thought Given.Thinking Before Talking Is No Longer Practised.

Do we actually think before saying something? Give thought to the consequences of our words?. Everyday, people around me are saying things which most often defies logic and the words spoken carry no meaning. Why say it then?. i understand that seeking attention escapes no one but as time goes by, it is becoming apparent that no thought is given before one opens his or her mouth. That is downright dumb and dangerous. 'Think before you speak'. 'Look before you leap' were definitely coined after much thought. Words are so powerful that they yield unimaginable impact whichever way it hits you. i believe in it. Just three magic words,"i love you" soars the spirit whilst,"i hate you" can crush your soul. Sometimes words are uttered intentionally to cause hurt and careful thought is given for choice words to create such an effect. It is cruel. When no thinking at all is done before giving views or sharing information, it is damaging because it will cause
