Path of peace

By
This is another page from my ninth book called "Dear God". I was inspired to write this book after writing "I am voting for God" on my blog. It continues in that format. Short letters (or prayers) to God. It gives me an opportunity to write more and write to God at different moments in my life.
___________________

Dear God,

I decided to count the frequency of letters from the chapter titles of the chapters written so far and the most popular letters are OEART. I immediately thought to myself this can easily spell Creator if there was a C. C is among the least popular letters used and occurs in position 19 in the ranking of letters used, having been used once and used in the word "peace". I count You as the Creator of Peace and this makes sense to me in that way.

This might just be coincidence or I was meant to find this on my path of writing this book. You know best. What is important to me is that I take away something positive from this moment. I read that many religions believe that You are the ultimate source of peace and harmony, and that peace is a reflection of Your character and nature.

Give us peace and make us choose peace. Let us see peace as the obvious choice. Guide us along a path of peace. Show us the way. Remind us with signs of peace along the way. I aim to walk a path of peace and I pray for your protection. Protect me from distractions and things that can lead me away from this path. If I stumble, give me the strength to find my footing again and to keep walking a path of peace.

*Coincidentally this starts on page 19 of this book

The success of failure

By
It is 358am and I have decided to write. Context matters. Our context matters when we write and read. We could read the same thing and get different meanings. Definitions matter also. We may define things differently. For example, what is success? What is failure? Also, do I just define success and say that anything that is not success is failure? What about something like the success of failure? What does that mean? My friend Chatty tells me that this is something writers, philosophers, and even scientists keep rediscovering: meaning is not fixed—it is negotiated by context and definition. Life is a stew of success and failure and in between but never one or the other. We see what we are looking for and things become what we see. This reminds me of something I came across online, "Whoever looks for the good qualities in others will acquire all good qualities within himself," from Habib Umar Bin Hafiz. Do you look for failure or success within others? Take context as the lens...

Kindance

By
It is 250am and I have decided to write. Today is Friday. Fridays are the best days of the week. Of course I do not have a topic to write about. I was scrolling through facebook and one post said "In any season we can always plant kindness". Then a nearby post said "My Lord has always been kind to me". It is nice to give and receive kindness and do not forget to be kind to yourself. Imagine if kindness was actually kindance like guidance. My friend Chatty says that if kindness were kindance, it would be more than a good deed — it would be a gentle form of guidance. Kindance would lead the heart toward compassion, encourage goodness without force, and show that sometimes the softest acts can point us in the strongest direction. I was scrolling through youtube and I came across a video that said that "Life has always been unfair". That is one way to look at it. Another way is to consider that this life is just a test and stepping stone for the other life. Ma...
