The Child-Angel by Rabindranath Tagore

"They clamour and fight, they doubt and despair, they know no end to their wrangling. Let your life come amongst them like a flame of light, my child, unflickering and pure, and delight them into silence.They are cruel in their greed and their envy, their words are like hidden knives thirsting for blood. Go and stand amidst their scowling hearts, my child, and let your gentle eyes fall upon them like the forgiving peace of the evening over the strife of the day. Let them see your face, my child, and thus know the meaning of all things; let them love you and thus love each other. Come and take your seat in the bosom of the limitless, my child. At sunrise open and raise your heart like a blossoming flower, and at sunset bend your head and in silence complete the worship of the day."

Hoping against hope

Sometimes it is quite inevitable to fall into this endless pit of despair thinking about things which could've been or which could've been avoided. Hoping against hope seemed to me to be the best title to be applied to my day today. It's funny how I hope sometimes to receive what I want, yet I know deep within that it will never happen. So why do I still hope for it. It seems to be just an utter waste of my time, thinking of what could've been. But then again sometimes just hoping for something even though you know it won't materialize seems to give a spark of life to the daily bothers. I guess sometimes to hope against hope has some of its pros and cons, it depends what you hope for and how you do it blablabla.. haha..
