The Secret God

A secret God rules our hearts. To find your God, would mean to let it go. And without a God to feed anymore, we begin a journey ourselves, Godless, and for the first time savoring life like a child.

The Market square in Lisbon.

"So you don't read the news?" Ashish quizzically looked up through his glasses at Gaia.

"I do, but of late it's a habit I have temporarily suspended." replied Gaia.

"I am sure you're the type who would prefer a Times of ----- gossip column to the other more literary newspapers around", smirked Ashish looking back into his latest NDTV updates that sporadically popped up on him smart phone. Ashish was lying down on the softly upholstered navy blue sofa, his legs splayed across, ankles resting on one of the embroidered cushions.

'You'd think that I am a shallow sort even after reading my writings.' Thought Gaia shaking her head. No point in defending a criticism that is merely pointed out for the sake of it, she thought.

It was a slightly cold day in Lisbon, she could hear the traffic beneath the apartment. Gaia walked up to the window across the living room by the side of the open kitchenette. Peering down, she could sense the town slowly waking up to yet another day of pre-Christmas preparations. The city square belying in front of their apartment, had men putting up tents and straightening out benches for the people that would soon flock through. She could see bakers bringing in the freshly baked bread and other Christmas special condiments in small goods vehicles. There was music, Christmas-y carols playing through the speakers that have been put up, fixed up against tall poles around the square.

She wished to go down and walk through it. The colorful decor,the confetti, the smells, the smiles.

 To smell the layers of food in display, to try the different wines up for tasting, maybe even have a cup of coffee at one of the cafes across the road. She wanted to take it all in.

Settling In and More

2017 has been a rather exciting and challenging year for me. But I'm glad at how I have evolved through it all. 

This year showed me that all we need to live an enriching life is to focus deliberately on your dreams with passionate positivism.

 

Late 2016 onward I began following the teachings of Abraham Hicks.This came at a juncture when I felt very let down and isolated by large. And the journey forward has been nothing short of excitement, love and appreciation. There were days when I felt that I could fly very high, and days when all I wanted to do was curl up in my bed. But as I went through the processes with a deliberate intention of wanting to feel good, I could see the changes that began happening within me and in my life.

I've just finished cooking my dinner. So I'll stop this piece for now, but there's a lot I want to say about the teachings of Hicks and how if accessed can produce beautiful enriching changes in your life.

There's a feeling of have 'settled in' with my inner being that I experienced today, which is total bliss and more. I'm hoping that I return more consistently to writing this blog and hoping that I write more about life and its experiences that can be useful for anyone who reads.

Cheers! 

Lined up...!

And as is usual, today is no different from the days gone by. And yet, a little nuance in this whole episode that I call my life, is this sudden package of security, that came about very much on it's own from within me. And after years of effort, of  sheer hoping and praying, yelling, screaming and scowl like expressions, I have suddenly learnt to just be. I think today should possibly be marked my birthday. Really. For having one's own alignment un-compromised, in it's entirety, owning this precious child of yours and just being. Plain and simple. No nonsense. No melodrama and just a startling amount of love to everyone...!!
