Eyes of Reality

We see, we look and we picture
In our words, we interpret
It is not always the same
Creating the difference of perspective and reality
The difference can be lethal, tolerable, painful or joy
It has been the source of war or peace
Inside and outside a man
All the pictures that man see, which one is the truth and reality
How to differentiate between the two
We could made it up and believe that is the truth that we see
Is it?
Or just a collection of experiences and stories
Ahh.. that question that made the thoughts running wild
It is like ....
Waking up in the middle of a pitch dark cave and desperately searching for any trace of light
The light that we hope would calm us down
That would lead to a state of tranquility
Hoping that, that light can bring us out of the dark
What do you see?
Am I in a dream? Should I wake up?
Will there be light when I open my eyes?
What do I want to see ...

Busyness in Life

A word came to me this morning when I woke up. Busy... then I heard buzzing sound in my head... like a bee...  We are always busy, doing something, thinking about something. Some of us will make ourselves doing just about anything that we could put our hands of and our thoughts of.... Some use busy to avoid from facing up things in our lives. Some just couldn't stand, a still moment with self so they use it to keep them moving. Some use it because it is safe, it is comfort even though it is not what we want.

Though some are busy living life. Charting out what would be fulfilling in life,  finding passion. Living life with passion, making a difference to others, connecting with people that they care. Busy waking themselves up when automatic pattern and behaviour sets in. Busy connecting and learning to love unconditionally, working with themselves from within, learning, unlearning and relearning things in life.

The question is ...

Which one of these that we are so busy about?

Beware the barrenness of the busy life - Socrates

Perhaps what it takes is just to stop and have a look into what we are busy about. Maybe we have been using this busyness for a long time. Perhaps it's time to pursue the things that we always wanted to. Perhaps life is more than just getting ourselves busy... Look around and see what have we been missing out of in life... Those moments that we missed, we will never get it back again. Sometimes because of so many things that is happening in our life, we forget to see what and who is in front of us.

The busyness of one's life can only be stopped and managed by the person who's creating it.

Busy life

Space of forgiveness

It is not an act
It is not a doing
It is the intention and part of our essential being
To fore go the need to hold on to

In that space of forgiveness
Love and hatred cannot co exist
Forgiveness is willingness
It is in the acceptance and letting go
A desire arise to give love again unconditionally
It does not bound by past and history
It is not a have to but merely a choice

An epic battle between the glory of pride and a space of humility
Fierce and intense in the heart of a man
When ego subsides and love surmounts and conquered the space
It will be filled with passion and grace
A spirit of calmness and the rest fizzles through thin air
A space which is vast but yet filled
Overflowing and full of abundance
A feeling of whole and yet healing
And that is a space of forgiving...

What are you looking for ?

As I was listening to people talking about their live... when they finished talking about it, I always ask this question to them. "What are you looking for in life that will make you happy?"

Common answers would be love, money, nothing, don't know...
A thought came to me... "What are you looking for yourself?"
How do we find what we are looking for? Where do we start looking? Where do we search for it? How do we know that what we would find, is what we are looking for? And if we do, would that be enough? Could there been more, better and different? And if we stop, does that mean that we resigned? Just accept and surrender?
Maybe what we are looking for is just a peace of mind... Maybe what we are looking for is not outside of us but inside. What we see outside is a projection of what is happening inside us. Maybe we can start looking within. Maybe we can start start searching within and find what we are looking for...

Peace is an attribute in you. You cannot find it outside. Illness is some form of external searching. Health is inner peace
