Our Lost Ones

"Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy."~ Unknown  

My Life Too Has Meaning ...

Some roads are better off walked alone,
Some words are better left unsaid,
Some people are better off left behind
And sometimes, only sometimes, it is the hardest thing to figure out
When that “sometime”has come.

And so you dwell, you drift so alone in the dark
Hoping to find something other than what you’ve found before.
Wondering if it even exists,
If it’s really there, real to touch,
Enough to embrace, and deep,
For it to truly understand all of you.

Thinking that you might be crazy,
Asking for something that has not yet been made
Or at least not been made FOR YOU.
And as you watch on, trying to find out, who went wrong
Or what is wrong
You just pray that all is as should be.

Maybe I should change and become one of them
And maybe, just maybe, I should lift my head up
Stand tall and go there, where my being is heard,
And my life too has meaning! -Unknown

Totally Lost !

I have come to a point where I can't decide what I want. I am torn apart. I've tried to analyse my wants and needs and yet it is such a difficult thing to conclude. I am at a breaking point. How I wish life can be much simpler when making decisions. Now, what do I do ? I am totally lost ! :(

The End of Suffering

The End of Suffering Read by Thich Nhat Hanh  -  http://vimeo.com/6518109

May the sound of this bell penetrate deep into the cosmos
Even in the darkest spots
Living beings are able to hear it clearly
So that all suffering in them cease
Understanding comes to their heart
And they transcend the path of sorrow and death.
The universal dharma door is already open
The sound of the rising tide is heard clearly
The miracle happens
A beautiful child appears in the heart of a lotus flower
One single drop of this compassionate water
Is enough to bring back the refreshing spring to our mountains and rivers.
Listening to the bell
I feel the afflictions in me begin to dissolve
My mind calm
My body relax
A smile is born on my lips
Following the sound of the bell
My breath brings me back to the safe island of mindfulness
In the garden of my heart
The flowers of peace bloom beautifully.

Just A Late Bloomer ...

Are you like me as a late bloomer ...

When life was all so messed up... 

And to get out of the dark pit it took ages?...

Some days of mine are nice and good ...

And some just too much to handle... 

Often, I find that it’s never an easy road...

I guess it’s the same for all of us...

Some of you may be able to get out of it earlier than I did. Yep ! took me a long time. Went through lots of heartache and eventually I get to where I should be. The past set aside and looking towards the future positively. Perhaps it took a long time for me due to the uncertainties I faced, the choice that I had to juggle with and the actions that I decided to take. 

I was with so many faults and flaws and I still am ....

And I pray I do not repeat them...

The good and the bad...

The past and the present...

Is what I am made of today... 

I am now with an open heart and soul ...

And like a bird wanting to soar high in search of my future …

Yeah ! That’s me, just a late bloomer ;)

My Stress Free Zone

Sometimes,  we have to remember not to put so much pressure on ourselves. Because, negative thoughts, stress, anxiety, and fear will emerge and you will lose total sight of all the wonderful positive dreams and ambitions you have within you. 

So, learn to de-stress ... and enter my world, right below ... a stress-free zone :) let's walk through this beautiful tropical forest where you get to smell and breathe the unpolluted air and all you see are greens everywhere ... 

Let me take you to my world, right here ;) 

And, as you walk along this path, you'll hear the sound of waves and you will smell the ocean spray...believe me the air is so moist and warm and you'll feel the pleasant cool breeze blowing thru' the trees....and as you come to the edge of the trees, the beautiful ocean is exposed...yeah, this is it !

This is where I want to be right now... the hammock and the island...the sea and the waves, the cool breeze......to feel the calmness, to be free of worries, no stress, just pure calmness...enjoy the sun and just be freeeee...........

Let's just visualize and do it ! De-stress is the word ! :)

Life Is A Scrapbook ...

Life is a scrapbook, torn and old
In which our little lives are told,
And when the twilight shadows fall
This is the sweetest thing of all;
To turn the pages of the years,
Remembering with happy tears
The faithful love, the perfect friend...
These things are treasured to the end
