The Spark

#Prose, Inspiring, Motivation /

The sun is about to set, the day is about to be over. The colors pink, blue, purple, orange and slight yellow fill the sky. The faraway sounds of chatter start to fade over the crashes of the ocean waves that crash over the shore. The hot sand under my feet is now cold as I take off my sun hat. The cool air sways my hair. I take some more steps before taking a seat and while I walk, thoughts swirl through my head. The beach is empty except the few people I have left behind that are now disappearing in the view. I take a seat on top of a huge rock and watch the ocean, the waves, the sky and think….

What is life?

Why am I here?

What is the connection between me and the world?

I watched the ocean waves crash onto the shore leaving the treasures of faraway places on the sand. The seagulls over my head start flying towards the sun. I smile when a tiny spark catches my eyes, I run to see what it is. A small white pebble laid there on the soft sand. How can this little thing be so bright from faraway?

I held the beautiful stone, I held it close to my heart, closed my eyes, and thought of  nothing except the light of the white sparkling pebble and suddenly I felt the glow of the pebble. My tired and weak legs felt strong, my sleepy brain felt wide awake and healthy. I felt that the pebble was part of me like my hands and legs my nose and mouth, but stronger. I felt refreshed, more positive, and calm. I felt like I could do anything. I felt like I was more than who I thought I was, and I know I am part of something big.

I opened my eyes  and smiled as I  looked at the vast ocean once more and walked my way back home with the stone in my hands.

The Mother’s Day Gift

Inspiring, Love, Short stories / / , , , , , ,

I looked out the window at the houses outside, spring had already started, the snow melted away leaving puddles for children to jump in. It was raining outside, I could hear the pitter-patter of rain on our house’s rooftop, slowly I changed my view, to the tiny raindrops on the window. I looked carefully as a tiny drop fell from the dark gray clouds on to my bedroom window, it slid and started to make its own path, it went zigzag and then down again without a care. The tiny droplet was now getting bigger and bigger as it bumped into other droplets, when it finally at the bottom it was as big as a button. It has been raining all of April and some of May. Just then the sun shined brighter than ever, Snowflake, my cat, jumped on my lap.

“Clara” mom called “lunch is ready”

I rushed downstairs and saw my mother serving us the delicious food she had made. I took a seat at the table and watched her every move like she was the most interesting person in the world. Snowflake kept trying to get my attention, but I was too focused on my mom. Her blue, loving eyes twinkled as she kept food on the table. Her brown hair swayed as she took her seat. She looked at me as if I was a wonder.

I took a deep breath and kept my hand in my sweater pocket. And the words spilled out of my mouth “Happy Mother’s Day” I cried then I grabbed something out of my pocket, into my hand. It was a handmade necklace I had made for my mom. I felt embarrassed, I knew the necklace was not so good, I thought she may not like it, but still I held out my hands to show it. Then something astonishing happened, my mom’s surprise face turned into a happy face. She smiled, then I did too.

I had a tiny feeling in my heart that maybe the necklace was not that bad, and maybe she liked it, but that is still a mystery…

LOVE

Two wonderful hearts to fill love inside you

Love is a whisper to the ear. It is a weakness to the heart and a distraction to the mind. Only a couple of us can handle it. Even animals feel it. Love is all around us, it knows us, and sticks to us like glue. It is inside every single living thing on earth. But the question is do we know it? Do we stick to it? Do we live inside it? These questions are all waiting for answer. Humans are the smartest living thing God has ever made and we humans want answers to every single question about everything around us, and as time goes by, questions are getting made and answered but we are never able to answer the questions of love. Many say anger is strong or happiness is strong, but love is bigger than happiness and stronger than anger. In fact, it is so strong that when a relationship of love is broken sadness and anger form. Almost every feeling we have is inside of love. So how do we understand love? Well, love is made and created not kept or set inside of us. God made all of these feelings we have except love and we started to mix those feelings and love was made, and it is still getting created even now. Every single day you experience love, you have just created it inside of you!

POWER

I’m lost somewhere, a place I can’t describe. I went far away from the world I loved the most. I went West to East and North to South and this place I found. I’m stuck here with sadness, knowing no one will see or find me. Now tears are rolling down my cheeks. Can someone give me a handkerchief please? I sat here with nothing to do. It’s also awfully so dark, I can’t see you! I feel I’m going to blow in pieces, just wait and see. I’m stuck in this box awaiting, will someone save me from this catastrophe. I wish to only come out of this wicked place and understand how I got here in the first place. I’m sitting in a corner with my eyes closed and thought about how I got into this sticky mess.

Then I took a pencil a very sharp one indeed and a perfect piece of paper you see, and I thought some more and more and opened my eyes the room was no longer dark but bright. I poured out the words from my heart and head on to this piece of paper and realized I’m not WEAK and STUPID. I don’t look WIERD and AWKWARD. There was no more sadness but love. I’m me, a perfect me. Now I know who I am. In fact, every trait and look I have is special. I may be different but not bad. I’m perfect how I am. I have my way; I have my power. And I will always stay like this.

All I needed to do was to look within, and within my love, joy, sadness, and blessing I found the light within me. The doors opened and I was out. The wicked place was gone and no more existed. I felt free, I knew it was all in me. The world I thought was dark, became bright again. I closed my eyes for the last time I remembered the memory lane. I remembered every day when I was happy and sad, and I will never forget this one too. Today I found something, I didn’t know before. And now I’m happy with my inner strength I found. I’m free and so are you and all we have do is look within!
