Pacific Passion

Stuck while a boredom attack
Time stands still all the while
Thoughts piled up the memory racks
Imagination has taken me miles

From the present to future and past
The days of sunshine and storms
The episodes flashed by pretty fast
I never envisioned this form

The roads I travelled
The people I met
The occasions I marvelled
Moments never to forget

The times I was insane
The Overwhelming joys and inner despairs
Come to the mind again and again
And the heart fills with humble prayers

All That time made the difference
When I see the transformation
Priceless time it is for me
that brings new hope and resolution

Today being an off, I get sometime to spend on blogging. Recently I have read an article regarding the usage of Up, interesting enough to put down in my blog. 

The actual source is anonymous. 

There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is "UP."
It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the
list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP? At a meeting,
why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP
for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report?

We call UP our friends. And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the
silver; we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the
house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has
real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP
an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing but to be
dressed UP is special.

And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped
UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.

We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP! To be knowledgeable about the
proper uses of ‘UP’, look for the word ‘UP’ in the dictionary. In a
desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP
to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP
a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but
if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it
threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out we say
it is clearing UP.

When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP.

When it doesn't rain for a while, things dry UP.

One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now my time is UP,
so......... Time to shut UP.....!

I know I haven’t been taking out time regularly for blogging since long and here begins my list of excuses. The monsoons have just started, drenching in the rains and the frequent travels put me on bed with cold and a mild cough. It ruins your plans when you have to put on a blanket and rest whole day even more when it's a weekend. You should have got used to the list by now. Thanks to the people who have been regularly refreshing this site for new posts.

To keep up with my interest all I could remember worth putting in my blog is a sermon I heard last week.

Once a teacher asked a group of children to list what they thought were the present "Seven Wonders of the World”.

Though they were slight differences, most of them answered
 1. Egypt's Great Pyramids
 2. Taj Mahal
 3. Grand Canyon
 4. Panama Canal
 5. Empire State Building
 6. St. Peter's Basilica
 7. China's Great Wall

The teacher noted that one child had not finished her paper.
So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. The girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many.“ The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe I can help".
 "The girl hesitated, then read: "I think the 'Seven Wonders of the World' are:
 1. To See...
 2. To Hear...
 3. To Touch...
 4. To Taste...
 5. To Feel...
 6. To Laugh...
 7. And to Love.“

The room turned quiet. The things we overlook as simple and ordinary and that we take for granted are truly wondrous!
Many a times we forget to admire the wonders around us. The most precious things in life cannot be built by hand or bought by man.

The difference in the answers was just a difference in the thinking. Two people can see the same thing, disagree, and yet both be right. It's not logical; it's psychological.

Isn't this ture? “We see the world, not as it is, but as we are──or, as we are conditioned to see it.”
