Halfway to Christmas ๐
No pain, no palm; no thorns, no throne; no gall, no glory; no cross, no crown.
Every victory entails a great amount of sacrifice. Before you even taste the sweetness of triumph, you need to taste first the bitterness of the process. And, thatโs how you become Christ-like.
someday...
โIf you want to conquer the anxiety of life, live in the moment, live in the breath.โ
โ Amit Ray, On Chanting and Meditation
Stop thinking about the โwhat ifsโ and the โcould have beensโ. Be in the moment, and do not rush everything, for eveything will fall into its proper place in the perfect time.
in my element๐๐๐
Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Nothing has happened.
Everything remains exactly as it was.
I am I, and you are you,
and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is absolute and unbroken continuity.
What is this death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval,
somewhere very near,
just round the corner.
All is well.
Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!
I miss my mom everyday.๐ฅบ The pain is just too much to bear, but she raised a brave woman. I will get through this. I will remember her someday without sadness and sorrow but with pure happiness and peace.
Why does it have to hurt like this?
