Inspiration and Affirmation – The Rock aka Batu

INSPIRATION:

Half encrusted in a mossy mound of green, I found the rock that speaks to me and sings. An imperfect stone nested just off the path, Unique in its plainness, it sings in my hand!

The above is about a rock I once found. It was “just off the path” and a truly homely reprehensive of the gem and mineral kingdom. In appearance or perceived value, it would in no way be offered a place among others of high esteem: diamond, marble, granite, or even coal. One would never assume it to have anything to offer, such as the powerful healing qualities of a crystal. But this stone, this lonely outcast, lying forgotten and nearly buried at the side of an obscure path, had a song to sing!

It called to me, “Come here, come here and talk to me, I have something for you.”

I picked it up out of curiosity and wondered at what such an ugly rock could be. As I stood there dumbfounded, it began to sing its song. This would not be a song for the ear, but rather a song for the soul, a song of hope and healing at a time in my life when I desperately needed both.

The moment I picked up that craggy chunk of Earth, I was introduced to a new life that I had never tasted, and I am savoring it still today, where 14 years later it occupies an honored and sacred place in my home, my room.

“Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet!”

AFFIRMATION (You may say it out loud)

I look for and easily discover the spark of the Holy Spirit in every living thing I see. My world is alive with wonder!

And so it is, and so I let it be.

With Love & Light,

Just a simple singaporean gal who loves simplicity and highly appreciates nature and beauty in life. I love travelling to unique places, trekking, white-water rafting, kayaking, canoeing, caving , snorkeling, sailing and am wanting very much to learn wind-surfing giving the opportunities too. I'm a lover of Nature and am passionate to share my travel-folio. So I created a "connection" on these pages. Occasionally, i will "lost somewhere", meditate and connect with Mother Earth. Trust me its a very very refreshing and connecting experience every time. Someone who continously searching for a place on earth that truely takes my breath away.
