Foot Prints of Life

Christmas Reflectfuls, 2014

Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India(December 25, 2014, 3:40 PM)

WE STRIVE CONSCIOUSLY

For heavenly life on earth.

Vision it. Define it. Make it ours. Live it.

Share with our special folks.

Our beginning and our destinations.

Trails of lives

Stories told and untold

Less heavenly, more earthly, if not unearthly.

Joy, Serenity, Beatific moments, Graceful livings

Dreams sublime

The converse reality shows

Challenging complexities of institutionalized

modernity

Innate pangs of discovery to be authentic

Distortions and swivels of Misinformation

Securities behind grotesque lies/deceptions

Power through perniciousness

Living daylights of blackness and

Crimson nights

Ever raised mind, heart and eyes

From virtualities of monumental merriments

Have you looked up from the social loops

Embroiled in instrumental sphere of livings?

Have you ever heard

Those fleeting questions of deeper selves?

Questions and doubts hitherto unheeded by minds

2/4

Preoccupied in the cacophonies of doing things

And demands to conform

To all complexities of life

Needing mediatory assistances?

Ever visited your whiteside?

The true side of yourself?

Your existence - that pristine innocence gifted by God.

To you and specially youWhatever you are and whoever you could be.

YOU ARE CHILD. GODS CHILD.

The most comforting existential awareness.

Good to retreat within you.

Turn back to your trails

You surely have got the footprints of your life

All have marks of whitenessthe beacon of divinity

Gods own signage meant only for you.

Howsoever unwelcoming to communicate

How fiery it may beEven those terror-filled red moments

God keeps leaving his mark of love

In all that has happened.

Mystery is something that HAPPENS

Not those HAPPENED.

Human induced mysteries are farce.

True Mystery is Divine.

Life keeps blooming and

God surpriseswith mysteries.

HIS historical interventions in a life.

He did to one little obscure woman

Mary of Nazareth.

One of so many characters of Biblical Silences.

Marya Reflectful person - infinitesimal in a society

Of brute power and gender dominations

Mystery challenge and choice.

Yesafter yesesFollowing the overshadow of divine in person.

Incarnation.

The relentless hounding of humanity by God

To get us back to our right trails of life.

Centuries of righting back and He keeps writingFor us to read back; our stories of life

And find the mark of His Presence

Including our oscillating positions;

Dont ever make it salable or tradable

In the arcade of irascible logics and unreasonablities.

Mad bargains and

Avaricious piracies of lives.

Footprint of life begins with those feeble tiny feet

Stamping on crches, the mangers of today.

Instinctive cries for attentions;

The pristine patter of laughers;

The adorable yawnings.

Slumbering in peacein response to serenity

Giving presence of God among grownies.

Who never knew of their feeble infantile start.

All that resembled the mark

Of Gods human presence on earth.

Every child reminds the mystery of Immanuel

God-Among-Us.

To a child, everything is mystery to be surprised for

Even when predetermined by facets of societal

instrumentors.

Like Divine Child, they carry - Mystery of Joy

Mystery of life that is unique, and

Dignified in every form of expressions

Unadulterated by brute science and socio-

technocrats.

Foot prints that we keep creating

Transforming mystery into unique histories

Enlivened trails to cherish and guide

Not to flag mythical extinctions

But actuated life here and now.

Life crumbs:

Droplets of mirth

Pearls of tears from soft hearts

Placid humane touchesGazes of affections

Otherworldly?

Of bygone era? Never.

Contextual. Concrete. Present. Today. Ever.

Reflecting obscurity of God Childs birth

Reverberating the open echoes

Of Son of God on Calvary

Answering all unanswerables.

To preserve the salt of humanity

With Faith Trails.

Those foot prints of your faith (in Divine)

Walking with and riding on co-trails

Of faith-lit lives - Sensus fidei

Flags of faith in God

Who hunts mankind with Love;

With stubbornness of the Divine (Commitment)

Towards begotten humanity.

Reaching downreaching the fallen

Reaching the wayward, strayed, lost and confounded.

Christmas disneyfied is a

Season of human enchantments

Expression of camaraderie joy

Ranked and Rated. Exclusive.

Lacking ubiquitous universality

With excluded mass.

Foot prints of excluded humanity

That.

The true story of God.

Flags of lives untold.

Foot prints disremembered.

Buried in faded memories

Of twisted tales of histories.

Immanuel:

The God who shines lightOn those fading footprints of little ones

Valuing the valueless.

Signifying insignificants.

Those foot prints Never

War path

Crowds of defiant politics

Predatory businesses

Hippocratic show-of-spiritualties

No.

It is of you and your footprintsThe toddler with Master

The Master of life and faith.

Who came to say: Go Ahead:

Your faith has healed you

Youre forgiven

Peace be with you

Be salt to the earth

Let your light shine

Joy to the world

These tweets of faith begun with a silent night;

Of birth of a child, ordinary

Lighting footprints of unknown trails of life.

And so a Christmas saying:

Be enlightened by Mystery of Life;

The mystery of God for your footprints in life.

Tomorrow is Gods own Mystery gift for you.Footprints are your history co-authored by God in you.

Never ever fade it.

Postscript

Never ever deny light of faith in your footprints.

Key Indicator:Presentence of faith in life trails is - Joy.
