Of Grace and Balance

Photosource

In her graceful fall we find acceptance

In complete surrender she has embraced a will

not of her own but of life less understood.

A wise man once said, charity is not merely in giving, but more in understanding. Everyone seeks to be understood. We are unhappy when we are ignored, unheard and taken for granted. And yet the soonest we stop to seek for understanding and start giving it, we realize how life can actually be brighter and more peaceful. 

May we never find ill feelings for anyone who has faulted us. Instead, may it always be in understanding that we forgive. May we never feel righteous over people who make a fool of themselves. Instead, we realize what a bigger fool we are to feel righteous. 

Oh, there could never be a sadder form of poverty, but that of poverty in understanding. A person who understands is wiser than the learned, is richer than a millionaire, and knows best how to love.

A Year and 12 Seconds

A year and 12 seconds

I've shared dreams with you

A year and 12 minutes

I've laughed with you

A year and 12 hours

I've prayed for your happiness

A year and always

I'll be by your side.

Stolen Time

Lulling. In the middle of my routinely night studies, I thought of sneak peeking into my introspective thoughts and share it to whoever is around.

There's an unknown etiology to my happiness today. There were little instances that made me sustain my smile a little longer, but I knew there was something more about today. This is probably an internal force of happiness pulling me inward and at the same time pushing me outward to share this happiness with people. (Yes, You. thank You, God.)

Today marked a busy day for me. Everything i need to do today has to be put on an alarm or sticky-noted just so I remember. But even the notes I put on alarm are still forgotten.

Today I thought I should make a new reminder for myself, that's to be happy and to make other people happy.

Making happiness a habit, one day at a time.

Happy Thoughts

They come in snippets
They come in thought
They trickle from my heart to yours

Sometimes you get yourself in a state of unbelievable happiness, and you're left with nothing but a grateful heart.

What made you happy today?

To you who made it

I'm so proud of you Alric :) More opportunities have opened for you, and I pray that you choose well, that you do well, and that love be your foremost motivation to be accomplished.

Stars are falling one by one

but you and I will remain

holding up above,
lighted and twinkling
in the clear night sky

Forward!

I'm trying to make time keep up with my pace, but it's only pulling me forward as it ticks. Walking at my pace is just not going to make it. Run, Karen, run.

Order

When things are back in order, thoughts in my head flow better, words come out nicely, and I am able to love more consciously.

It's always nice to know what you're doing, to own your actions and to mean every word you say.
