WHAT HAVE YOU TO SAY WHEN...?

Waking up this morning would have been like every other day save the fact that I felt a special wave of tranquility. The kind you feel when there is a divine presence. Yet right behind this amazing feeling was a bunch of opposite questions, which before now would not have taken a second of my time. Can’t you see that time changes and we either change with time or get caught off our guard.

Here is exactly what I was thinking when she came up from to me:

In moments of despair and disappointment, when you find yourself on the down side when you have done enough to be on the top, what comes to your mind?

What comes to your mind when the roads seem lonelier and the friends you knew turn into foes, when everything you have ever known seems empty and illusive, what comes to your mind?

In moments when the sunset accidentally catches on your dreams and the dawn of a new day seems too late, what comes to your mind? What comes to your mind when you are necessarily distracted anytime you are one step away to your target?

I was thinking about these when she came up to me and said, ‘in such moments, only our hope in the heavens and in the love of God can keep us going. Of course bad things happens, she went on ‘but we have always to learn from them and put our past behind’.

What else to say than ‘hakuna matata’, No worries my friend. You have not failed even when you lose. You fail only when you give up half way.

As long as you keep walking, you will see the blue sky. Everything gona be fine, buddy, she said to me. It was then that I realized that I have been asleep; that is if actually I am awake now.
