numb

since when since how the heart has stopped feeling
any pain or sadness even when skin is peeling
dont know how nor know why cant tell what's in my mind
have I became too cruel or too scared to cry

the neighbour that passed without saying goodbye
after a terrible fall in the middle of the night
heard of the news no feeling yet why
too cold too cruel or too dry the eyes

and now again a news came by
again the cold came like frozen ice
the heart below freezing too many ties
no feeling came rushing only logical sighs

seeking memories seeking old binds
searching for at least one reason to lie
then she remembered as she laid by her side
like a mother she said its okay, dont cry.

with all her hairs nw grey and white
laying there weakly in coma tonight
its still cold like a bad winter pie
im afraid to go tmr, and hopefully wudnt be to bid goodbye

bring me back to you

Turn If Off

by Cindy Hess Kasper

" Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while. " Mark 6:31

When our kids were young, we took a trip to northern Wisconsin to visit my grandparents. They didnt get very good reception on their television, but TV wasn't much of a priority with them. After I had seen our son Scott fiddling with the TV set for a while, he asked with frustration, " What do you do if you can get only one channel and you don't like what's on that one?"

"Try turning it off," I said with a smile. Not exactly the advice he was hoping for. It's even more difficult to do now, especially when there are so many devices that entertain, inform and distract us.

Sometimes we do need to just turn it all off and rest our minds for a little while; we simply need to "unplug". Jesus often drew aside for a time--especially when He wanted to take time to pray (Matt. 14:13). He encouraged the disciples to step away as well -- even for a brief time (Mark 6:31). That kind of solitude and time for reflection is beneficial for each of us. In those moments we are able to draw near to God.

Follow the example and wisdom of Christ. Get away by yourself and "rest a while". It will be good for your body, mind and spirit.

Lord, help me to seek those things which are from above. I want to turn off all that distracts me and draw near to You. 

Turning down the volume of life allows you to listen carefully to God.

love rosie

till date, my favourite book is still Love, Rosie. 

i like to read emails, i love to read letters. sayings expressed in words are so much better than words in sayings. maybe because im not a good listener, maybe because for words, u can take all the time u need to read, maybe because words won't rush you and you can keep them. its always nice to read. People sometimes hear but don't listen, but in words, people just can't read without understanding. 

words are just beautiful that way. and i like to keep reading them over and over again. beautiful words i mean.
