Was God Discovered or invented:
I found in Keithpp’s Blog this very interesting entry:
A non-believer who sends his six-year-old daughter Lulu to a Scottish church primary school.Her teachers asked her to write the following letter: “To God, How did you get invented?”
The Rentons were taken aback: “We had no idea that a state primary affiliated with a church would do quite so much God,” says her father.
He chose emailing her letter to the Scottish Episcopal Church (no reply), the Presbyterians (ditto) and the Scottish Catholics (a nice but theologically complex answer).
For good measure, he also sent it to “the head of theology of the Anglican Communion, based at Lambeth Palace” (Archbishop Rowan )– and this was the response:
Nobody invented me – but lots of people discovered me and were quite surprised.
They discovered me when they looked round at the world and thought it was really beautiful or really mysterious and wondered where it came from.
They discovered me when they were very very quiet on their own and felt a sort of peace and love they hadn’t expected.
Then they invented ideas about me – some of them sensible and some of them not very sensible.
From time to time I sent them some hints – specially in the life of Jesus – to help them get closer to what I’m really like.
But there was nothing and nobody around before me to invent me.
Rather like somebody who writes a story in a book, I started making up the story of the world
and eventually invented human beings like you who could ask me awkward questions!’

The Maelstrom...!!
The Strangest thing about me is my life itself!!!
When I had wanted the world, it lead me to the acrimonious dead-end and when I desperately look for an end of the thought trails, the road just keeps taking turns around the mountain road overlooking the rainbows, greenery and misty clouds.
I have been living in a Whirlpool, rather being one.
Like a whirlpool, my center of leverage is fixed while the surfacial edge roams freely, causing all the actions to take place in the physical/metaphysical objects in the vicinity. This has helped me to grow like the whirl grows in size,in prospects but then, being stuck to one spot on the ground due to the affinity I share,........I just fail to move !!
Hoping for the day I would high fly....breaking away from my fixed center of leverage!!!

Just for You....!!
The world of trust was so limited until that evening....and I wondered what took me so long to know this.
I was countering myself over and over again before I could face the truth. I played and re played the episode in my mind a thousand times and it ended in the same way... I had come to know that I had very little control over the consequences!!
I had bailed myself out of terrible experiences in life called relationships ,time and on and imbibed a trust in myself that I had a complete control of my life and I was the only one who would successfully manage me.I trusted my instinct and beleived that relationships do not have the potential to sustain.I did not want any emotional jazz to linger and am not ready to carry any emotional baggage.
My outlook mysteriously disappeared.The tenderness that time has offered has left a little scope of realizing how strategic things have been. While restoring my faith and trust in a complete different perspective. I have learnt to be more discerning in looking forward to life.
There could be more to it but at this point of time, I emerged a winner with that little wisdom I gathered !!

Back.....to myself !!
I am back to be myself....Back on this page after a very long time.
It has taken almost a year now to accumulate the accolades by justifying my contribution to acquire them.
It has taken a while to experiment my days in compromising and coming in term with life,killing me every minute.I have realized during this period that i am precious to everyone, but not more than what I am to myself.
It has taken a long time to prepare myself to accept silence.I would not go on forever giving myself to your needs in silence with disapproval. I have chosen to silently take my life where I completely enjoy this peaceful silence.
I have matured with time......I have lost a lot with time. I have also lost the me I had known all life. I have gained more than what I lost.
I have me all by myself.... !!
