Spring Time – A poem by Ana Bright

It has indeed been a really long time since I wrote! So long that I almost forgot my password to log in to by blog!! No time to think up stuff to write I guess.(or it could be poor time management, although I prefer to think that I am super busy!!:-) ) Anyways, here I am. Back again but with one more proxy post from Ana Bright- a poem dedicated to welcoming the elusive spring.

Here goes…

The windows aren’t gloomy,

not anymore.

The flowers are blooming,

just outside the door.

Everyone is outside

laughing with glee,

all children on the playground,

including me!

I hope this lovely weather

will come and stay!

oh winter, please, winter,

just go away!

We need a little happiness

to cover up this mess,

because the rough storms of winter

have caused much distress!

Interview with GOD- Enjoyable!!

Someone sent me this in an e-mail and I thought it made so much sense and really wanted to put it on my blog.

Yet Another Proxy Post

My Journal is an invaluable friend,

It is more than just the end

of keeping my thoughts inside my head

and so, on these pages i let them spread.

And in the pages of this book,

My ideas are there if you dare to look.

So look and see, if you care

but….. BEWARE………!

Proxy Post

This is by Anna Bright:

I love to read. When I start reading, there’s no stopping me. With some books, I feel like I’m actually in the story, meeting the characters! In most stories, I imagine the homes of the characters. For instance, in Fudge-a-mania, I picture Peter’s house as a small apartment with a kitchen and a hallway. In Ramona’s World, I think of the Quimby’s house as a one storey house with a basement. Still, in The Famous Five, I think of Kirrin Cottage as a beautiful seaside house with a view of Kirrin Island from every window. I think it is the power of the authors’ writing that gives me the ability to visualize so many different images.

Think a Thought

Think a thought that you never thought before and this could be the best thought you ever thought until now!!

To be or not to be (spiritual)!

These days a lot of people are turning spiritual,some at a considerably young age. While age has nothing to do with being spiritually inclined, I would certainly not want to get spiritual just because it is hip! There are people who make fun of the spiritual ones but with closer interaction with some”spiritualists” , I have come to realize(and this comes as a rude shock!) that these people are no different from the group that jeers at them! I am not talking about the truly spiritual ones who have mastered the difficult art of accepting people for who they are and not judging them. The people I am talking about are the “pseudo” spiritualists who wear it on their shoulders as if it were an ornament that should be publicized and look down upon those who are actually not spiritually inclined.

I think spiritualism is a question of interest just like Politics or Sports. It is not like a part of the life cycle like most people make it out to be. For those who enter spritualism forcefully it is never going to be enjoyable or bring out the true joy it is supposed to. I am a person who believes in the power of the Supreme and am slowly getting interested in spiritualism (hope not to be a “pseudo” spiritualist!). Anything is fun if you were getting into it of your own will.

I am part of this spiritual/religious group where we, as a family participate. We enjoy our sundays and always look forward to them. Some of the peolpe who belong to this, however, have a way of making one feel like he/she is committing a crime if he/she does not participate actively in attending discourses or discussion groups. They tell them that they should attend these sessions instead of wasting their time talking on the phone or working on a laptop while they wait to pick up their children from these classes. Now, aren’t they being presumptuous in thinking that if a person is not in the discussion and is attending a phone call or working on the laptop, the he/she is most definitely wasting his/her time?!! What have they actually learnt from the various discourses that they have apparently been listening to (instead of wasting time!)? How much closer to God has it really brought them? Among the first basic lessons a true spiritualist learns is to let go of bad thoughts and the consciousness of the self and try to find God in themselves and in others. Spiritualism begins with freedom and these people are actually trying to force it on those who are not interested!
According to me, anyone who is true to themsleves and who tries their best not to hurt others is a spirtualist in the true sense. I hope I don’t sound like one of them in writing this post!
