Most of the querents come with complains all
the time. They actually think that "life is too hard. Often I tell
them that, I can't believe how easy we have it. But everyone should have my
problems."
I have problems but I'm greatful for them.
I'm not trying to sound like I'm better than all others, but I do feel that my
attitude is more useful and, frankly, correct. Each problem I have is an opportunity
to grow. Every issue I notice about myself.... whether it's my tendency to be hard on
people (and myself). or my tendency toward paranoia... Is, I believe, a way
that I can become a better person.
Growth is possible only when you notice areas
that need tending. I have a diary on my bed that says, "The courage
to grow is noticed by the universe." In other words, by noticing a
problem that you have and choosing to grow through it.... To learn and become
better... God will pay attention and good will come from directing your energy
to the dark spots in your life.!! Rekha J. Singh

'The barren land'
The barren land as she became
With the fire shots from the crowd
Darts from all the directions came
No shield could help her proud.
One after the other,
Jolted, the breach of peace
Many pierced the heart drier.
The rigid rocky adamancy
Crackled and cracked
Fragmented into pieces
The lava beneath the cracks
Steamed up through them
Out came the light with it
Came up! up! up!
In the light, felt light
Rose up in the lighter moment
In the nothingness of the barren land
Turned into an innocent angel that
can
Holding tight within, the own candle
Rose up! Up! Up!
Above the ground
Where nothing surrounds
Began to dance in the wild wind
Above the land dry,
Across the beautiful sky.
