On this land, there is that what's worth living for. ~Mahmoud Darwish

This poem is so beautiful...
Its what it is... We all have this around us, the beauty, the love, the compassion and it all...
We need to take the time of day and acknowledge, appreciate, cherish, love and be happy with what all we have around...
This beautiful world and life we have of our own.


On this land, there is that what's worth living for
~ Mahmoud Darwish

There’s on this land,
what is worth living,
The recurring of April,
The smell of bread at dawn,
A woman’s amulet for men,
Aeschylus’s writings,
The beginning of love,
Grass on a stone,
Mothers standing on the thread of a flute,
and the invaders fear of memories.
There’s on this land what is worth living,
The end of September,
A lady leaving the forties
with all its apricot,
The hour of sunlight in prison,
Clouds imitating a flock of creatures,
A people’s cheers for those going up
to their doom, smiling
and the tyrants fear of songs.
There’s on this land what is worth living,
There’s on this land,
the lady of lands,
the mother of the beginnings
and of the ends.
It was called Palestine
Its name later became Palestine
My lady: I deserve,
since you’re my lady,
I deserve life.

All the love...

Life has taught me many things in the past few years...
But one thing is for sure... Never to take my loved ones for granted...
Recent events have led me to realize the amount of love that surrounds me... Not only me, every one of us.
We just need to be able to take the time and acknowledge its presence.
Just hearing about my illness I have had everyone write in or call! I'm am truly blessed to be in everyone's thoughts even.

Take the time and make sure you spend time with everyone in your life that matters.
Call and be in touch with the ones far away, make sure you write in every now and then and be updated.
Don't feel like being connect on social platforms is being in touch.
Take the extra step. Write to people, pick up that phone and call them.
Reach out and meet your friends and family who matter...
Miss them? Tell them...
Love them? Hug and kiss them...
Make sure you don't let go...

Share the love in your heart... with your family and friends... Make sure they know how you feel and be grateful for all the love and support that you have! I know I am! :)

Reach out...

Something that I have heard about only... But since I know some of my friends... and other people around, I also know that what I am going to write down, is true and needs to be heard and shared.

There are many a times in our lives when we leave people behind, move on in life etc etc... There are true friends of ours who we lost touch with, miss out on, and then life brings us to positions when we find ourselves all alone. This is when we need to realize people who are close to us and true to us and reach out to them! No matter what transpired... whether we did someone wrong or hurt them. If they mean the world to us and they understand us... we MUST reach out to them! Our friends might be upset or in a different frame... but that one action from the person who needs the help and support... Just a phone call is enough... Is all that it takes for the friends to leave the world behind and be there for you... No matter how upset I am with certain people/a certain person in my life... one call for help, just to know that we too are needed in those people's lives is all that it will take.

I know that if I were to see a name flash on my phone even... everything else will be forgiven and I'll be there for some people in my life...! Because I know them, They were my friend, I know the state they are in and how they might be feeling...
But I will not make the first move because this is also their journey and learning. That HAS to be made. The minute they set foot on that journey, they will realize the truth of it... Then they must gather the guts to just reach out... Whether one apologizes for things in the past or clears air etc is step two! Step one is to take that step and reach out! The personal/emotional path/journey that one needs to make to grow spiritually is a tough one, and walking alone on it can throw you off your path too! This is when people start behaving in strange manners to hide true feelings. Act like the others who had been influences in life previously etc... Therefore it is very important to reach out to your true friends when it is the hour of need!

Reaching out doesn't make you a weak person... or smaller in any way... If anything... it makes you stronger and better!

I don't want to ramble more... This is a thought that was passing my mind... My heart is going out to someone on my mind... I hope and pray that this post is read and understood by all and makes a difference to everyone who reads it...
And hope and pray this post is read by someone I really at some level want to reach out to, but cannot as of now...

Are you reading? Hope you are!
