Netherland!

Not yet!! Whimsical Windmills of Kinderdijk in the Netherlands-UNESCO Site

Been there!!: Amsterdam
Been there!!Rotterdam 

The world looks like is such a big place, the more you visit the more is there to see!
but then...
Is it the world that is big or our avid
 insatiable desire bigger than it!

To : Not forget my identity!

“Your real, new self (which is Christ's and also yours, and yours just because it is His) will not come as long as you are looking for it. 

It will come when you are looking for Him. 

Does that sound strange? The same principle holds, you know, for more everyday matters. 

Even in social life, you will never make a good impression on other people until you stop thinking about what sort of impression you are making. 

Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it. 

The principle runs through all life from top to bottom, Give up yourself, and you will find your real self. Lose your life and you will save it. 

Submit to death, death of your ambitions and favourite wishes every day and death of your whole body in the end submit with every fibre of your being, and you will find eternal life. Keep back nothing. Nothing that you have not given away will be really yours. 

Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the dead. Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. 

But look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.”

I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. 

A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. 

You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.”

“And men go abroad to admire the heights of mountains, the mighty waves of the sea, the broad tides of rivers, the compass of the ocean, and the circuits of the stars, yet pass over the mystery of themselves without a thought.”
S.Augustine

Would love to visit one day Germany, this country full of history

Frangipani Plumeria alba acutifolia !! :) Larnaka Cyprus!




 
Happened to me: felt in love!
 Love at first sight, 
or maybe i should say love at first smell and sight,
but whatever it was, 
it was love!
and i love it wholly, utterly, completely!!
I hope one day i can have it, and say: 
Its mine!!

And then...
Will my love fade away like happens to the things you get used to!!
Is such a sad thought that what should amaze us,
 maybe cause we take it for granted, 
it become a habit
Maybe cause we forget what made them so special...
or maybe for whatever obscure reason there is out there
that amazement fades way. 

Or should we just accept the fact that once it fulfills it purpose 
the heart has no need for it
though it even sadder that we forget the gift it gave us, or it came with it...
by being there,
by fulfilling its purpose.
And we devaluate it, by labeling it as "random"

Its the sad story of ungratefulness and simple mindless people, us!


Waking up in the perfect day, 
 jogging in the sunrise on the beach, 
me, the sea, the peaceful sound of nature around me,
 and the sun waking up slowly!!
Larnaka shared with me its beauty :)
