I had just
stopped by the kitchen to get a hot cup of coffee. While pouring my coffee, I
enjoyed the warm September breeze blowing on my face through the open window.
After pouring the coffee, I cut a slice of the peach pie I had baked yesterday.
The huge olive area I could see through the pumpkin leaves tangled in the bars
of my kitchen window still seemed as noble and serene as ever.
Came to my
desk and sat in my comfortable chair. While my laptop was opening, I also
turned on a solo piano that I have been listening to tirelessly lately and put
on my headphones. While the music was penetrating my soul in waves, I was
opening a new Word document at that moment. One of my two cats, Snow, got up
from where he was lying down, came to me, and climbed onto the desk. He seems
to have abandoned himself to a peaceful and sleepy comfort. Ash is in his usual
place, on his pillow in front of the window, sleeping soundly, and snoring
occasionally.
I can calm
my soul with this peace that I can experience every morning. I can forget about
the rest of the world and just sit in my own circle of peace, eating my peach
pie and taking another sip of my hot Irish coffee.
And I may
hate myself for all of it!
Should I
take another sip of my coffee when there are storms brewing inside me when
every musical note is scorching my heart? How can I take a deep breath with
peace and say, "Today is going to be a wonderful day?" How can I lean
back in my chair and pretend like it's an ordinary day while my fingers are
roaming around the hot coffee cup?
Is there
anything that can stop the boundless evil within mankind?
Is there
anything that can stop the cruelty and betrayals of this dark age?
Ask
yourself how you feel when children and innocents are hurt.
Ask
yourself how you can stand it when animals and forests are being massacred!
Are you
ashamed of being human?
Do you ever
shed tears when you see cruel photos and read cruel news in newspapers, on TV
channels, and on social media every day?
Are you
ashamed of being human?
Ask
yourself these questions while sipping your drink on your comfortable couch.
Who or what
are you?
At least…
If you have
lost your hope, remember that there is hope to find it again!
