Forgive...!!

This year  I  had an experience that hurt me badly.. Almost shattered me. I can proudly say that I  really understand what the poem below means.. cos it was forgiving that person that ultimately healed my wounds..


The tears I shed, I forgive.
The suffering and disappointments, I forgive.
The betrayals and lies, I forgive.
The slandering and scheming, I forgive.
The hatred and persecution, I forgive.
The punches that were given, I forgive.
The shattered dreams, I forgive.
The dead hopes, I forgive.
The disaffection and jealousy, I forgive.
The indifference and ill will, I forgive.
The injustice in the name of justice, I forgive.
The anger and mistreatment, I forgive.
The neglect and oblivion, I forgive.
The world with all its evil, I forgive.


Grief and resentment, I replace with understanding and agreement.
Revolt, I replace with music that comes from my violin.
Pain I replace with oblivion.
Revenge, I replace with victory.
I will be able to love above all discontentment.
To give even when I am stripped of everything.
To work happily even when I find myself in the midst of all obstacles.
To dry tears even when I am still crying.
To believe even when I am discredited. 

                                                          -  Paulo coelho 

P.S. From his new book The Aleph (O Aleph),  The book is currently only in Portuguese, but it will be published world wide in 2011

Flow..

Whatever runs contrary to the 'Flow' will not last..

Let us  learn when to act and when not to act.
.
Let us understand the 'Action in Inaction and 'Inaction in Action'

Let life unfold and unfurl over us..

Let us accept and harmonize with the 'Flow.'.

Someone

We wait a lifetime to meet Someone

Who understands us,

Accepts us as we are.

At the end,

We find that Someone, all along,

Has been Ourselves.

:)

Two possibilities.

There are only two possibilities in every moment. You can fight or you can kiss.

.

Memory

Let us erase from our memory completely

a) Our lost opportunities.

b) Our mistakes once we have asked for forgiveness.

c) Our hurts.

Let us save in our memory and keep reminding ourselves

a)  Our blessings

b)   People who  have helped us.

sUrrender

The only way to win,

sometimes,

is to Surrender.

failure.

Lets not be afraid to fail..

Why not try again ,  again and again ..?

Reality

We have the power to do anything we wish except these two

a) We cannot create reality.

b) We cannot destroy it.

.

Trials..

We build lifetimes as spiders build webs.

Lots of trials, sometimes, to fit one strand.
