A moment in time

Today I was speaking to a friend who mentioned the death of a 15 year old girl who was crossing the street in Bangalore, India she got hit by car. She passed away due to head injuries. She was on her way to see a teacher that was sick, she decided to walk in a different direction and different path, not realizing of the event that would occur. Being the sensitive being that I am, tears started coming down my eyes, for sometime actually. In that moment, I thought life is precious! The wars, The deaths, The very many events that occur all around us are but situations that should bring us closer to one another, they should awaken us to peace and love. Yet we get so caught up in the superficial, the desires of the mind....



You are alive in the present, you are alive in this moment and you MUST make the best out of it, You must smile, laugh, and yes even cry. But just don't forget to live because it is in the journey that we experience. And the experiences come when you are OPEN, when you LOVE, when you are YOU, and when you go beyond your ordinary self and become and extraordinary humanbeing from the actions led by the quest of the self ..a quest that ultimately is driven by the heart.



I pray for peace for that little girl who's physical presence is no longer with us And I thank her for waking me up because perhaps today would have been just another day, and her existance in this moment made me realize the beauty of life and to be thankful for EVERYTHING and EVERYONE around me. To Love and Not fear it, To Be and not worry, To simply exist in the here and now.
