Seeking and finding..

My roommate recently told me:

"Ridz, I don’t thank God enough for all the wonderful people in my life.."

I replied back to her saying that, that’s true, we really don’t thank that mighty power that grants us these wonderful people.. but we also don’t thank Him enough for the way He has made us. It is because of the way we are that those wonderful people are attracted to us and are a part of our lives..

This thought gave rise to another one.. Sometimes the happiness that we seek rests inside us.. but we are so scared of unleashing lest its taken away from us that we keep it locked inside like a reserve stock holding onto it till the last minute.. much like the kastoori that rests inside a deer’s stomach. When a loved one is about to die, deer from all over the forest run around, desperately looking for the life giving element that’ll help give a few more precious hours to their loved one, not knowing that all this time it rested deep within them..

When we ourselves our hurting we look around trying to find the peace, solace or happiness that’ll put an end to the pain.. what we don’t realize is that many a times it is within us to look through the darkness and find the light at the end of the tunnel and reach out towards it..

The deer is the only living being blessed with this miracle of life and the human being is the only one blessed with the power to unleash it..
