#letters

I was feeling a bit under the weather this weekend, and had to decline my friend's invite for another weekend food trip. The good thing about staying in is that I finally found time to finish writing letters to my Mama and closest friends. Have deferred this for a really long time for several reasons, but mainly because I lacked inspiration and never found the perfect 'quiet time'. Until now.

It used to be effortless and spontaneous for me to share and reach out in a thousand words. But recently, it felt like a great effort to finally sit down, be still and write all of these thoughts down. Blogging included. Hopefully, I've gotten back these bits of inspiration slowly, and that they will not leave me in a one-time big-time way again. *crossed fingers*


In addition to physical letters, postcards and holiday cards, I also found time to write an open letter to the Universe.


Dear Milky Way, Andromeda et al:


In victorious or happy times, you've made me believe that you've conspired with me to make it all happen. In tough or unfortunate moments, I convinced myself that all of these are temporary and eventually things will turn around for the better. But sometimes, I get impatient and ask you, 'How long will you keep me waiting?'


Some nights...well, most nights, actually...I look out from my window and ask you twenty or more questions. From recent memory, the recurring ones are:

1. What am I here for?
2. Does my pain or brokenness matter?
3. Is there really something out there for me?
4. Does my ultimate dream figure in your bigger plan?
5. Is my story interesting enough from your vantage point?

Then I realise that this is not about me. This is about a Higher Being who made you, and out of His grace, allowed me to be a part of you and His divine plan.


There are so many things that I do not understand now, and may never understand in this lifetime. But I'm sure they will make sense someday soon, not necessarily to me, but to you Universe, because it only matters when your stars align and their stardust falls rightly into place.


I'm only assured that all of these are part of a Greater Gravity that pulls us together to a Grand Purpose. 


Yours faithfully,


Genefel
