Broken Wing, rhani, illustration, 2007.

One of the angel’s wing is broken…
With just one wing
will she ever make it
to the moon..?

Resting, rhani, photo, 1995.

There are many times in my life…
When I feel
that the only ‘one’ I can always trust..
is My Creator above…
Among this deceitful mortal world…
Among all the lies around me…

And there are times…
When I come kneeling befor Him,
asking and wishing for things…
that I think would be good for me to have…

But last night…
Like an old shoe, tired of walking,
I stopped at the rim of the Milky Way…

All of the sudden I forgot how to ask…
How to wish…

All I could think of is to express my gratitude to Him…
All I felt was being blessed

And so I thanked Him for everything He had given me…
for things He hadn’t given me…
and for things He would never give me…
For I know He knows best what’s best for me…

Y’know, my friends…
You can teach good deeds, norms, and kindness…
But WISDOM is something that cannot be taught
To get a grasp of it,
One should live one’s life…
One must know how to be sinned,
so one knows how to beg for His forgiveness…
One must shed tears,
before one knows how not to hurt others…

And there still I was…
at the rim of the Milky Way…
overwhelmed by His Greatness… by His Love…
I could clearly hear a voice inside my heart, saying…
For He always takes a good care of the universe…
for He always takes a good care of me,…
what more should I ask for?

He is Lord of the two Easts and Lord of the two Wests
Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny?
