Let there be Darkness AND Light...

Light and darkness are two sides of the coin – they co-exist in this world of dualism.  If Light is bright and effulgent, that’s because there has been a shade of darkness at some time.

If Darkness is black and dark, that's because there was a ray of light at some point…

We express sincere gratitude for the little surprises/goodies that come our way eg a lunch treat, a free ride back home, a lucky spot to park your car, etc  – that is because there was a time we literally had NONE – A BIG THANK YOU for all the small gifts.

Well, but sometimes, we have been blessed with so much abundance, yet, we crave for more….that is the irony of life.

Let there be times of hardship and pain, only to be welcomed to a much deserving and comfortable life

Let there be times of loneliness, only to discover that you have fallen in love once again

Let there be times of frugality, only to understand the value of all and the price of nothing

Let there be times of poor health, only to find ourselves appreciating every day of good health

Let there be times of war, only to help ourselves realize the importance of maintaining peace

Let there be enemies, only to understand the value of a friend

Let there be unemployment, only to appreciate every opportunity that knocks at your door

Let there be impossibleS, only to discover that nothing is impossible. But rather I M(AM) POSSSBILE

Let the elastic of life stretch you to the maximum, only to realize that you are beyond both limits

Thus, let there be darkness so that traces of light will attract us to discover it

 

With this, let us pray to the Lord to lead us from Darkness to Light..
