Remembrance.. .

Scanning through life's memory box is like lifting each memory towards the sun's gaze, allowing the colours of the rainbow to reflect through them. With each colour that is reflected, our mood alters. Today, I reflect on those colours which shaded black tears to drip down my face. Those times when my heart seemed too heavy to carry on. Those times when the shear existence that, at some point, the sun must shine after the rain. This moment is dedicated to those stormy hours, minutes and seconds. At times, these moments seemed to threaten the very existence of my being and yet at the back of my mind, one thought sifts. Sifts. Persists. The God of all existence, of the heavens and the earth would not have brought me to the event if I was too weak not to overcome it.

Sitting in a room surrounded by people airing their thoughts sometimes hinders the words I would like to express. So many mouths complain about life's inconveniences and yet those aired thoughts pay no attention to those suffering more. Today my mind pays a tribute to those who are suffering, to those whom we've lost along life's winding road. And to my brothers and sister who found their angel wings too soon.

Standing at the threshold of new adventures kind of makes one look back and reminisce. Today, I think about my colourful childhood- sometimes one colour painted my hours too long- black. The thing about remembering though is you learn from what passed before- you learn that some things are way too important not to hold on tighter. I've learned that the very treasure in my life is living breath of those closest to me- for that I'm truly grateful.

Speed bumps on life's road serves to slow us down so that we can stop and enjoy the scenery. The sun MUST shine after the rain. Today I wanted to remember inner strength, faith and the helping hand of all the universe. Today. Tomorrow. And always life will be great... if we choose it. Reflecting merely serves as a tool to enhance our future.
