U – for yoU

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. 

grateful for these pics from Google
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.”

 What do you think of this post ?  would love to hear ...

  2. If 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.
