O Absolute energy! O Ultimate consciousness! Grant me the fearlessness to be myself. Grant me the courage to face every change and uncertainty of life with strength and honor. Grant me the knowledge to keep my body and mind healthy and strong. Grant me the wisdom to keep my mind balanced in highest of rewards and harshest of situations. Bless every moment, every breath of my life with learning and growth. The moment this learning and growth stops, let that moment be the end of my life. Amen!
in the darkness of my mind through the weakness of my desires when all my restless soul could do was just hold on until the dawn
my heart squeezed and infused a purposeful life into my aimless existence
I held eternity in my hands that soft touch of all possibilities and little certainty all senses, every emotion intense, weak, fearful and brave all at the same time
promises filled with fear love filled with anger and jealousy but still caring
with that sweet squeeze in my heart for just that moment I lost and then found myself I pledged my heart and then let myself fall
Opening lines from Gregory David Robert's Shantaram:
"It took me a long time and most of the world to learn what I know about love and fate and the choices we make, but the heart of it came to me in an instant, while I was chained to a wall and being tortured. I realized, somehow, through the screaming in my mind, that even in that shackled, bloody helplessness, I was still free: free to hate the men who were torturing me, or to forgive them. It doesn't sound like much, I know. But in the flinch and bite of the chain, when its all you have got, that freedom is a universe of possibility. And the choice you make, between hating and forgiving,can become the story of your life."
To the unknown man at the Tower Hill underground station ATM - you were withdrawing money in front of me in the queue and left in a hurry. When I tried to put my debit card in the machine, it started beeping. You had forgotten to take your cash from the machine. I tried to find you but you were lost in the crowd and all the backs looked the same to me. Anyways, don’t worry. I know it would be impossible to find you now. So I have passed that money to a charity group in your name (which I don’t know). May the goodness of the deeds that that money gets used in; return to you in form of blessings!
