Haidar's Corner

It's amazing how much you can glean and learn by listening. I mean real listening not 'hearing'. nor ''enter through this ear exit through the other''. . listening by feeling words as they flow from mouth listening by smelling fragrances in syllables and phrases listening by tasting rhythm and flow of words spoken savoring the flavor my dear, such is the beauty lost on humanity . we can listen to virtually anything from speech to music body movement and nature or even silence... also by reading as you are, this very moment reading we can hear anguish and pain when our eyes see it just as we see joy and happiness as its melody sings in our hearts . one might wonder what I am trying to say  well that's an example of us not listening!! we listen to the life's stories every single day yet fail to pick up the story's moral everything is a story embellished with differing details yet having the same essence on...

It is a blessing to be alive at this very moment and to be able to put these words together as an expression of the feelings that fill the heart to brim. On many occasions we tend to forget the uncountable gifts we have enjoyed and that are still continuously in our possession. Gifts too numerous for enumeration, yet their multitude seems to make us forget how priceless each is; inestimable. As such, it is quite an uplifting experience to remember and let ourselves float in the realization and appreciation of the countless bounties of our lives. Regardless of creed, gratitude renews us and gives us an opportunity for a 'rebirth' and we become more attuned to reality and our never-ending quest for purpose in our lives. Therefore let me end by saying Alhamdulillah for this moment, and every other one I am blessed with! Haidarwali 201909240808hrs
