Three Little Angels


Six months ago I told God that I wanted to talk to him. But, He didnt listen to me. I thought he had ignored me. I was distraught. But, I was wrong. He was looking at me all the tym. He knew I had given up my faith in him. N I also didnt try to hide this fact. However, God had bigger plans for me. He sent three angels to me. They answered all my questions, they cared for me. They listened to me. Fluttering their wings, they used to come to see me every day in my dreams. I used to talk to them and they used to listen intenly. We used to laugh together and we used to cry together. Life was so simple when they were around. Then, one day they said: "We know u can handle things now. We need to leave. Someone else needs us now." I didnt stop them. But, I ask them to keep visiting me. Now, I miss them.
Should I have stopped them??

Sugar n Spice and Everything Nice-- The New View...

This one is the last in the series of "Sugar n Spice and Everything Nice".

Walking thru the desert, I found myself. Things that I wanted from my life became a little clear. Now, that i could see ahead. I saw greenery. I saw tall Chinese White Pine trees. They provided some shade, but its branches were to high for me to catch. I tried and I jumped. I couldn't catch the branch at first. I tried and I re-tired. After about 10-15 jumps I got hold of the branch and took the fruit from it. I tasted so good. Finally, after so long I had something to eat. The fruit satiated my hunger. As for water, I looked around I saw a beautiful river flowing. Trees lined besides it. I go towards it. I can see it changing its course. But, I wont let go so soon. I've just entered this new view. I don't want to let go. It feels safe here. I have food, I have water, and I have shade. But, I know the wind is starting again. And, this time I have to be prepared to fight it. As of now, it's sugar n spice and everything nice!!!

This has been pretty much the story of my life. Not many instances, not many people. A few I'll never forget, a few I'll never give up. But, I love them all be it the long stretch, the spiral, the hole, the chinese white pine trees, or the river. Each one taught me something.

"Life's a journey!! Enjoy each road. Live each moment. Today might never come back again."

Hope you enjoyed the series.

Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice- The Desert


The transition from the spiral to the desert was abrupt. I was totally thrown off balance, I definitely wasn't prepared for it. I had always been surrounded by the big leafy trees and I had always trotted on smooth roads. Even when I was in the spiral I knew there was a smooth rod going beside it. I knew back then, that had the option of going back. But, when I entered the desert I didn't know where to go, because there was no road. I had to find my way. How would i do it? I didn't know. The sun and the heat were too strong for me. I wanted water, but I cudn't find any. I longed for some shade, but there was no tree around. The wind was too strong, I could barely see what I wanted. It made a whooshing sound when it was too strong, it scared me. The sand in the wind pierced my skin. I wanted to fight the wind, and move ahead. But the more I tried, the more I lost. The more I struggled, the more tired I was. I was loosing my way. I was giving up. I was giving in. I was tired, hungry, and broken. I tried, till I cud try no more.

But, then at that instance when I felt that it was all over, nothing can change now, I have to live in this desert my whole life, I saw a little hole. I snuggled inside it. The hole protected me from the sun and the wind. I knew I was safe there. I stayed there for a while. Closed from the world. Away from all the roads. But, near myself. I realized I couldn't stay in the hole any longer. I was a traveller, I was not supposed to stay here for long. The wind had also slowed down now. It was time to move out. I came out of my hole, started my journey again. I walked, but this time I knew where I was going. Things were clearer. I walked and I walked. The scene began to change. It was getting green again. I began to walk faster. I was getting nearer to the greenery...
