Hard Work

they say hard work never hurt anybody.....and i do work hard most of the time....but i have to wonder about my cushy life when i see people toil and earn a pittance for their hard work...sometimes its manual labour and sometimes incredibly long hours....and sometimes voluntary work....is when i feel what i do pales in comparison and significance....and is not worth talking about..

take Amma's daily schedule and the phenomenal way she lives each day...touching the lives of thousands and bringing about real change...in people ...in the world..bringing us all together as one family.....meet Amma.....your life will never be the same again...

Beyond Comprehension

plant a seed....grow a flower....
a simple act but one that is full of wonder...
there are double petunias and single petunias, single coloured and double coloured and you can never tell which will spring up from the tiny seed until much later... all the seeds look the same....where lies the differentiation that ultimately appears in the beautiful flower???....that it can be contained in something so tiny is BEYOND COMPREHENSION... it gives an insight into creation and the world at the micro level which in scientific terms is hard to understand....

each marigold contains the seeds for almost a hundred others...if you plant one and collect the seeds... next year you will have a whole flower bed of marigolds....yes they are so easy to grow....

and what of plants that you can simply break the stem and replant and get a new plant....flowers for free....

and what of flowers, like morning glory and hibiscus, that bloom only for a day
.if you dont enjoy them that day they are gone forever..ephemeral..you now understand the meaning of that word...

wild flowers that grow in forgotten spaces...just playing their part in creation..

not to speak of fragrance and velvety softness....

flowers are Gods gift to us.... everyday...

Beyond Coincidence

i don't believe in sheer coincidence any more.....so many episodes have shown me that there are things beyond coincidence....things have a special way of working out for me which people normally put down to coincidence
but i feel as though i am favoured and blessed to have so many incidents almost on a daily basis working out in my favour....it is an incredible feeling each time i realize it....and i now know them to be BEYOND COINCIDENCE
i think we draw positive things into our life by simply being aware of them....sometimes i feel it must be happening to everyone but they are simply unaware of it.....is it true for you???

Time

have abandoned my blog for far too long.......a fact i am absolutely not proud of.....hope it never happens again....
to have no time for the people and things that truly matter shows that my life has spun totally out of my control....need to apply the brakes .....SCREECH..
time to savor and enjoy the lil joys that each day brings....
