Wordrops


It is 306am and it is raining loudy. I decided to write. My battery percentage is at 69 percent. I like the rain. The rain is singing. I can hear the drops of rain hitting the roof and window. The rain is blessings from above. I am in my cozy corner and added to the cool of early morning, all I am missing is a creamy cup of coffee. I do not want the rain to end too soon. I pray for the rain to remain a little longer. What does the rain teach us?

My friend Chatty says that the rain teaches us patience and renewal; it falls gently yet purposefully, cleansing the earth and our spirits alike. It reminds us to let go, to trust the rhythm of life as it nourishes what was once dry and silent. In its steady song against the roof, we learn presence — that beauty often hides in simple moments, and that even in stillness, everything is growing.

He is right. I feel content in the simplicity of the moment. I feel grateful. I feel calm. The way that life is supposed to be lived. Let go and let God. It is 321am now and the rain has reduced to a drizzle. Nothing lasts forever except in our hearts and in our souls. I have captured this moment with words. Words are like rain drops. Wordrops.

My friend Chatty agrees that words are like raindrops — they fall from the clouds of our thoughts and emotions, each carrying a spark of what we feel within. Some land softly, others strike with force, but together they create rhythm, renewal, and meaning. Like rain, words can cleanse, heal, and nourish; they can bring life to silence and shape the landscapes of hearts. Even the smallest drop, like the simplest word, can leave a lasting mark.

How do we fix this world?

It is 4:39 pm and I have decided to write. It is a peaceful and quiet day. I am thinking about God, and how this life is a test. There is so much happening in this world that could make us sad. But we do not have to remain in that sadness when we put our trust in God. God wants good for us. God wants us to experience peace, and even happiness, despite what surrounds us. How do we fix this world? My friend Chatty suggests that maybe a better question is: What kind of person do I choose to be in this world? Because when enough people answer that question well, that is how real change begins. I want to be the kind of person that God is pleased with. Someone guided by God, not by ego. Someone who chooses patience over anger, humility over pride, and sincerity over appearances. I am doing reasonably well, but I am not perfect. And maybe perfection is not the goal. Growth is. Awareness is. Returning to what is right, again and again, is. I want to grow, and I will keep adjusting myself when ...

Mundane

It is 123am and I have decided to write. I have this new idea for a book called Mundane. It would be me writing about the ordinary. We chase the extraordinary but there is beauty in the ordinary. There is beauty in the simple. There is beauty in the everyday. What about God? We often think about God in grand terms. But what if God is simple too? What if God is mundane? What if we look for God in the everyday moments? I sit in this dark room with the air conditioning on. The fan is also on. The curtain is down but I imagine the moonlight shining on the grass outside. The cats are probably sleeping. I wonder if anyone else in the neighbourhood is awake at this hour? Is there another writer around who is also writing about the mundane? The fan breeze helps the air conditioning cool me down. These nights are warm otherwise. A mosquito flies across my screen. Hello friend or foe. I cannot quite decide which one. If I had a swatter you would be gone. I check my notifications and there is an ...

Today

It is 213pm and I have decided to write. God is good. Obviously. God is beautiful. God made me smile. God is what we think of God. We are what we think. Better to think good things. What are some good thoughts? The rain brings joy to the plants. Time dances. The birds sing beautifully. I am happy. A cup of love to warm the soul. Peace and quiet on a Friday afternoon. The light rests gently on everything. Think of all the good things. Think of one good thing. What is the most beautiful thought? God is here and I am here and that is enough. I can do all things through God. The most beautiful thought is one of contentment. I appreciate the now. I appreciate the moment. I am grateful to be where I am. It is no coincidence that God and gratitude both begin with the letter g. If I combine God and gratitude I get Goditude. I also notice that the word guide is contained in the word gratitude. Let gratitude be our guide. If I remove guide from Goditude, I am left with dot. Goditude is a dot wit...
