A little chill runs down my spine
My fingers touch you and i lose you
Swallowing air, and i feel breatheless
is it the breeze or did you just whisper?

Ive looked around and im still searching
Why do you hide? you'll need to find me now
Have i run away from you? Why dint you hold me back

They say Love is in the spaces between words
In the moment when you are lying naked with your conscience
and the sky above pictures your dreams
and the world seems complete, pieces by pieces, put together
careful, slowly, naturally, by my eyes and yours

Hundreds of years have passed between us
Souls and lives we've planted and loved.
But our love stays, Still and Still transient, gets deeper and higher as we go on

We are like a young child flying his first Kite
Im as rooted  as higher up you go
Im flying and free just as closer to the ground you are with your dreams
Your altitude lends meaning to my depth
We're free and yet anchored to this thing called Love.

So quit the Hide and Seek
Because there's no seeking, when there's no hiding
The blank space wants us to define it
Lose yourself . To me.

First Post- Parable of Talents

The Parable of Talents is on my mind from the time ive read it in the Bible. Post reading it, it made perfect sense why every person has a distinctive capability and a distinctive gift that cannot be matched with anyone else in the world. Every person, hence, has an ability to contribute through the gifts they have received. This feeling of contribution soothes the soul and satisfies the heart with a sense of worthiness we feel because we 'gave'. It also provides us with an opportunity to excel at something we love and truly understand the human need to make progress and achieve what we dream of.

In other words, the reason i even decided to write this blog ( not that i think im a great writer, i really dont) is because of this Parable.

So the first post must be My Inspiration and here it is. I hope to always remember why i started this blog and push my self to fight the resistances of a tired mind and a tired body as i go along to write, in the hope of making a difference to change the world.

The Parable of the Talents
Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his property to them.  To one he gave five talents of money, to another two talents, and to another one talent, each according to his ability.  Then he went on his journey.  The man who had received the five talents went at once and put his money to work and gained five more.  So also, the one with the two talents gained two more.  But the man who had received the one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.
After a long time, the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.  The man who had received the five talents brought the other five.  “Master,” he said, “you entrusted me with five talents.  See, I have gained five more.”
His master replied, “Well done, good and faithful servant!  You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things.  Come and share your master’s happiness!”
The man with the two talents also came.  “Master,” he said, “you entrusted me with two talents; see, I have gained two more.”
His master replied, “Well done, good and faithful servant!  You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things.  Come and share your master’s happiness!”
Then the man who had received the one talent came.  “Master,” he said, “I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed.  So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground.  See, here is what belongs to you.”
His master replied, “You wicked, lazy servant!  So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed?  Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.
“Take the talent from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents.  For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance.  Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.  And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
- Matthew 25:14-30 (NIV)
