Thots that run thru my mind........

-Pain & Suffering-

I Thank God for the 'lessons' of life but even more for the realization of the lessons. The eyes to see, the wisdom to understand. Today it strike me, though my life was not exempted from pain and suffering. But He filled it with enough pain and suffering to make me grow in strength, make me in every way human, yet, not so much to throw me into despair forever.

-Expression of Hurtful Feelings-

I usually don't realise how words can hurt people, my word especially. I do feel it strongly though when words of others hurt me. It is often like a cut. With that am also aware of my defence system. But someone, someone special taught me a beautiful way to express hurtful feeling. Honestly, humbleness not defense. Probably that is why defense is sometimes an offence. It is a beautiful expression to be able to say, 'Please don't hurt me like that' the only thing is how would the other person react? Would you say, 'I'm sorry, I don't mean it or would you say ' It is all your fault why are u blaming me now'. Then again, people live with choices I cannot control. I will want to create a space that say 'I'm sorry, All the time, Never once  I ever meant to hurt you'.

-Passion-

'A passionate mind is groping, seeking, breaking through, not accepting any tradition; it is not a decided mind, not a mind that has arrived, but it is a young mind that is ever arriving.' What is being passionate?? Ponder.. ponder...

- doing something I really love doing or finding the love for the things am doing? Is it possible?

- having the 'omp' to see something going thru..

- a strong feeling and emotion towards a thing, a cause...

- a drive...

- Expression -

Imagine a rosebud with its petals closed over a glowing heart, filled with passionate feelings, but not yet showing itself in its full beauty, not until the blossom opens. It remains closed by doubt. I feel that I - am still hiding like the heart in the rosebud.....
