Here and Below

One constantly meets the view that, because we are born into a world of contradictions we must defer to it. Yet people shouldn't be ambivalent about themselves just because everything else is. This doesn't mean I would range myself on the side of those who are single-hearted in the true sense. Scarcely an hour passes without one of my thoughts and heart responses flying off, wandering at a tangent. And very few of my actions correspond to what I consider right. I am so often scared of those actions, which loom over me like dark mountains, that then all I want to do is to cease to exist. Please don't think I am good, that is all I ask, because I am bad.

DUTY

The more important it is, the more conscious of it will the man be who has to fulfill it.

Lessons of late

Of late I learnt the following:

1. Hold to what is right and not turn right or left, no matter how ‘destitute’ person/some state of affairs appears to be.
2. “Having foreseen the error in one’s way but to let him/her take it born out of the need to learn.” (L.R)
3. To not prison or lead others astray out of raw self-indulgence/inability to self-control, no matter how out of harm's way it looks - initially.
4. Purity also means gossips/slander to not have an effect on self, and to desist from them.
5. And thus, there is always an urge to beg/elucidate matters. Learn not to put across, protest, disregard, stifle nor be apathetic and so on, but to release in trust in GOD.

Be careful, watch yourself closely, do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. (Deuteronomy 4:9)

And so it goes

"in ev'ry heart there is a room,
a sanctuary safe and strong.
to heal the wounds from lovers past,
until a new one comes along.

i spoke to you in cautious tones,
you answered me with no pretense.
and still i feel i've said too much,
my silence is my self-defense.

and every time i've held a rose,
it seems i only felt the thorns.
and so it goes, and so it goes,
and so will you soon i suppose.

but if my silence made you leave,
then that would be my worst mistake.
so i will share this room with you,
and you can have this heart to break.

and this is why my eyes are closed,
it's just as well for all i've seen.
and so it goes, and so it goes,
and you're the only one who knows.

so i will choose to be with you,
that's if the choice were mine to make.
but you can make decisions too,
and you can have this heart to break.

and so it goes, and so it goes,
and you're the only one who knows."

If I were to sing this song, I hope I could say with joy, "but I believe God's decision is best,
and I don't need to break this heart of mine."

And this may be the reason why.
From a very dear friend:

A friend is GOD's gift;
though I don't deserve a thing from HIM.
"The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away;
blessed be the name of the LORD."

Joy at midnight

An hour's pounding of jogging, browning of toasts, coffee percolating. Hehe.

How Lovely

It has to past the segment of naïve enjoyment of something that strikes because it is pleasing, in one's superficial sense. It is also not so much of balance or harmony any longer. But to have seen the significance that that someone is originally good, has gone terribly distorted, but has a ray of hope. To celebrate creation, to face honest and vigorous view of the fall, yet has the answer. One who highlights the needs for grace. Loveliness, really cannot be taken apart from glory, which is the presence of God.

How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD Almighty! (Psalm84:1)
