Here is something I wanna share with you!

It was the day after I saw this quote ‘ we discovered that owning things, consuming things doesn’t satisfy our longing for meaning’ from 20th century women movie, that I get robbed.

I was in a crowded place where people walk in  close distances in order to pass certain area. The theives came close, surrounded me and took my wallet from my bag. I was shocked, sad, frustrated. I started to address blame to myself for not being cuscious enough, for being gullible, for being trusting, for being human..

Luckily, I always keep  small amount of money in a separate pocket in my bag, that was how I get home.

After deactivating my visa, and  dad sent me money, I had a chance to think of how fragile our lives are. We can be disturbed by losing a piece of leather that contains plastic cards. I thought about the permenance of things. I am so much attached to my clothes, my phone,my visa card, my ownings, and that was the core of the problem.

Everything  can be replaced, and everything has an end. You can lose everything at one second, and there  is no vivid  manifestation of this truth other than death. Sudden changes in our momentum of life , and unpredicted  incidents that carries us away from our plans for the future are usually a reminder for us to stay present, and to be  humble, simple enough to believe that we can’t control everything.

Next day’s evening carried some good news. The hospital I am doing my check ups in called me. Someone found my wallet  near a mosque gate -apparently, the thieves only wanted the money and left  my IDs inside the wallet in a mosque  as a sign of being a theif with some kind of courtesy – , and from the hospital ID he figured out that I may have a file with my phone number in the  hospital’s database.

I went to meet the man, and the encounter was so emotional. I deeply thanked him for being interested in doing  a good deed like that . His eyes was filled with tears, so was mine .  I couldn’t believe that thoughtful, righteous, and honest people are still  living.

But the truth is that bad guys exist, good guys exist as well, and it is a small mysterious world with so much evil, yet abundance of blessing.

Grateful for amazing things happens to me everyday like rebounding with a friend or watching a movie that strengths my hope in life.

Grateful for the honour I feel as I show up in my life powerfully.

Grateful for knowing that it is never too late to do something, and that I have all the time I need to do everything I want to do.

Grateful for classical music, that it helps me carry peace and stillness throughout my daily activities.

Grateful for the opportunity to dedicate sometime during my day to love and kindness, sometimes through checking on a friend, another may be by sending something cheerful to a friend, to my mom.

Grateful for the beauty the sun ; the light, the colors, the shadows, the warmth.

Grateful for the beauty of the  day ; the energy, the meditation, the tranquility, the prayers, the work, the studying, the rest, the laughter, the hope, the knowledge, the wisdom, the fulfillment, the freedom, the hunger, the thirst, the reading, the writing, the safety, the abundance.

Grateful for the beauty of sleep ; the warmth, the beautiful dreams, the rest, the bed, the pillows.

Grateful for the beauty of music ; the new emotions born inside of you. The quivers that ran through your body. The pause in your mind’s train of thoughts when you feel the music is eating you. The old memories that music might invite. The smiles you make involuntarily, when you listen to something that made you feel the beauty of the moment. The prayers your soul  tell, without even knowing.

Grateful for being part of this universe, which is as I see it a place of creativity ,so today I am grateful for creation. Grateful for creativity in our every day to day life. Creativity in how, which we eat. Creativity in what, which we wear. Creativity how we contact to each other. Creativity in how we commute. Creativity in how we think about ourselves. Creativity in how, where,  we can do our jobs. Creativity in how we can play our favorite songs just by a simple touch. Creativity in how we listen to music anywhere, anytime through our earbuds. Creativity in the way drinkable water is delivered to our houses. Creativity in finding methods to generate electricity, and deliver it to remote places. Creativity in the ways we exercise, and improve our health.
