September 03 My "Safari" "Safari" is a Swahili word that simply means a journey....maybe you're thinking: "what kind of meaning could have this word in your life?"....maybe no one,but i don't think so....i guess instead it means everything for now,for how i see my life,my future....so often we listen sentences like "life is a journey" and yes,it's right....but i am not thinking about this at this moment...i'm just noticing that something is changed,something is changing and something else will change in my life...starting from the simplest thing until the most important in my life....my point of view about my place in this world is changed....and you can also notice this reading and seeing this web page....i'm writing in english....Why?one day you will understand...maybe someone has already understood the meaning.....but my dreams,my wishes,my hopes and my life is different now....as i said "i'm a tree;mother Africa has cut my old and unuseful branches and has healed the other branches to make them full of the best fruits...and The Lord is the water and the sun that i need to live".....once you reach the highest point of your happiness you just can try to reach it again....you can't do more....not every kind of land is suitable for our life-seed....we try different kind of lands during our life,but just one is the right one,the chosen one....and it is different from person to person...nobody can tell us where to plant our seed,we have just to try.....once we've found the right place,we have to take care of our tree,giving to it whatever it needs,starting from our love....and The Providence will think about the rest...trust our Lord brothers and sisters,He loves us...and prepare yourself....your "safari" is ready to begin...or maybe it is already begun.... September 02 The story of the pencilA boy was watching his grandmother write a letter. At one point he asked:‘Are you writing a story about what we’ve done? Is it a story about me?’His grandmother stopped writing her letter and said to her grandson:‘I am writing about you, actually, but more important than the words is the pencil I’m using. I hope you will be like this pencil when you grow up.’ Intrigued, the boy looked at the pencil. It didn’t seem very special. ‘But it’s just like any other pencil I’ve ever seen!’ ‘That depends on how you look at things. It has five qualities which, if you manage to hang on them, will make you a person who is always at peace with the world.’‘First quality: you are capable of great things, but you must never forget that there is a hand guiding your steps. We call that hand God, and He always guides us according to His will.’‘Second quality: now and then, I have to stop writing and use a sharpner. That makes the pencil suffer a little, but afterwards, he’s much sharper. So you, too, must learn to bear certain pains and sorrows, because they will make you a better person.‘Third quality: the pencil always allows us to use an eraser to rub out any mistakes. This means that correcting something we did is not necessarily a bad thing; it helps to keep us on the road to justice.’‘Fourth quality: what really matters in a pencil is not its wooden exterior, but the graphite inside. So always pay attention to what is happening inside you.’‘Finally, the pencil’s fifth quality: it always leaves a mark. in just the same way, you should know that everything you do in life will leave a mark, so try to be conscious of that in your every action’ |
