U – for yoU
I have searching for a place in
this letter; but did not find anything that I visited; and appealing to me.
Hence I decided to post on “U”. My
purpose for posting on this particular letter is take an inward journey. A
journey into self is definitely worth travelling- and one can always take the
first step.

I am glad that I was initiated
early in my life to ask questions that led me to an inward journey…… which has
been a challenging one and am grateful for baby step I took; faltering, unsure,
frightened, gaining courage little by little; taking the road less travelled.
I am privileged to have
encountered persons who helped me in taking risks, encouraging me to open
myself to new experiences that led to me understanding certain aspects of
myself, which otherwise I would never have known.

The great authors who enlightened
me by their discourse, their writings, who triggered me to think deeply; and
taught me to love, accept and forgive myself… I am still in the process of
evolving, finding myself….in this journey of life.

While I acknowledge the fact
that; this a short life, and we have come alone for a purpose on this earth and
when its time to leave; we have to get down at the station leaving everything
we have collected here on earth, carrying with us only some beautiful memories
of how we have made this earth a better place for living.
So for now let us enjoy the
company of ourselves in this short journey of life…. For we shall all pass this
way only once…. Never to come back….I love this quote of saint Augustine who says
“Men
go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea,
at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the
circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering.”
Today was a busy day for me; I could not visit any of your blogs, will catch from tomorrow again.. thanks for stopping by, I do appreciate you.
This is a beautiful post Genevive, very profound and meaningful. It is true, we pass this way but once, as we are and it is up to us to use our talents and gifts, be kind and compassionate towards others and ourselves. Thank you ..
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan, I wasn't sure whether it matches with my theme of travel; I tried to bring some meaning to my theme & at the same time derive some inspiration for myself and also for those who read.. I am glad you like this post, and thanks for your encouraging words,it means a lot...
DeleteIf more people shared your philosophy, Genevive, what a better place this world would be. If only we all shared that determination to make "this earth a better place for living." Thank you for sharing this.
