An Inspiration

This leaf, so complete in itself is only part of the tree. And this tree, so complete in itself, is only part of the forest. And the forest runs down from the hill to the sea, and the sea, so complete in itself, rests like a raindrop in the hand of God. (Raindrop, A poem)

My college days- it was a rainy day in the college. None was prepared ‘cause in the morning, the sunlight had shone so bright. But here we were drenched to the skin seeking for a shelter from the rain and the violent wind.  I found one with a friend. As I stood to dry my shirts, and pants, I found a sparrow beside my shoes. I stooped down and took the sparrow in the palm of my hands. It tried to fly away but couldn’t due too weakness and cold. Then I thought I should write a poem. I did while my friend stood beside me holding, drying the sparrow’s wings.

After thirty minutes, the rain stopped .I was ready with the poem. I took the bird from my friend’s hands, kissed its beak and set her free. So free was the bird, as I could feel when I let her go.

Hello friends, it's me Lenjose...

Since my childhood I've been a dreamer.There is an element of excitement and wonder when we witness the transalation of dreams into reality.In my life, so far I have experienced the fulfilment of dreams.Yet for dreamers like me, there is a word I would like to say- Be a dreamer and let your goal be the transformation of positive dreams into construcyive reality through tireless labour and honesty.Because God gives the best dreams to those who live according to His will.

Another thing- at times I ask myself as to where Iam heading on in this journey of life.Life has been an adventure to me.There have been both times of joy and pain.The greatest excitement is that there's someone who truly cares and loves me the way Iam.I don't know what the future holds for me but I know the one who holds my future.This makes my murky future clearer as time goes by.

Living with Great Expectations

Attempt great things and expect great things.Without attempting great things, it's wortless expecting the same.We only  reap now what we have sown. This is an unbreakable natural law.

The problems with many today is that we become lazy yet expect rich harvest which will never be.Water is worth a thirst.The sleep of a laboring man is sweet.when we eat the fruits of our own labour, work becomes meaningful.In the sweat of your brow will you earn bread.This enriches the meaning of work and the worth of a bread.There are countless millions without food to eat around us. Have we ever give a thought about their plight?

Once while  travelling on  a train, I had my breakfast. I threw away the leftovers through the window.Suddenly I saw two small kids running towards the dustbin where I had thrown away the leftovers.I observed carefully.It really surprised me beyond belief as I saw them jumping into that large  dustbin just to have a grab.They had a tussle and the bigger fellow could managed to have his share.There are many hungry souls around us. They have no bread to eat.Wasting of food should be reckoned a great sin.If you are a working man, earn not for yourself but for others' uploftment.

The world needs selfless individuals who will attempt great things for every poor child of the street.You cannot be like Mother Teressa but you can be as you are- learning daily to become a caring and loving individual.

Adding Fun

Life to me is a journey.This is scientifically true.We all know we live on this planet earth which is revolving around the Sun.Whether we are aware or not, we travel around the Sun once in every year.This is a planetary tranlational and rotational motion, astronomically verified and read in all our high school books.

Yet there is another dimension of journey of which many thinking persons are aware of.This is a journey in the dimension of time. From cradle to grave, each of us earn experiences along life's way.This can be either upward motion of developmental aspects or downward motion of failures and grief.We need friends around to share our happiness and sorrow.Journey becomes meaningful when we have specific destination, a good guide and a meaningful purpose. Keep moving.......Lenjose
