I am running low on cash now. It's okay. We will sort this out over time. Anyway, it was Easter Sunday today and I reflected a lot on the story of Christ. I find the spirit of sacrifice very very beautiful. How can someone carry the Cross, knowingly get betrayed, get subjected to so much pain...and yet forgive? How can a heart be full of such love? It really moves me...the sight of Christ on a cross.
Anyway, here are a few things I am grateful for:
1. Papa is well. I did not call him today. But there were no frantic calls from home. So I guess it is okay. I think I love my father but I wouldn't be able to do for him what Christ did for God. It sounds like a weird thing to say or think about. But I do wonder...what is the extent of innate selfishness and demonic sickness that lurks in the heart. How can a human be expected to extend themselves beyond this short fuse and serious limitations and get better? That's a good question to occupy the mind.
2. I went to the Trilogy bookstore near Carter Road. It is in a wee little lane inside Chuim Village. I did not find the place initially. But a nice security guard helped me out. It's a nice enough place but too many rules...like with all things Bandra. If it is bright yellow and even just a little bit nice, it becomes too full of itself. But it is a library as well. So that is good. It's a good thing to know. Also, Carter Road was so gorgeous!
3. I got a Brazilian wax done today. (Urban Company). The young girl who did it was exceptional! She was also quite chatty and told me that she and her family tend to 14 cats! She also told me of a spooky experience she encountered near the Devi temple (yes! There is one!) near Bandra Fort. She told me about an agency called Yodha that takes care of the medical treatments of street dogs and cats for free. They apparently also treat other pets at a nominal costs. I like it when good storytellers tell me horror stories.
4. A resolve is formulating in my head and heart. I am not yet strong enough to solidify it. But the stirring of something important is equally a blessing to note.
5. Had a good trip to Juhu. Enjoyed a nice avocado toast and blueberry smoothie in one of my favourite places! Then headed back
6. Summer brings out the colors of flowers so well! Gorgeous! Outside Jogger's Park, there was a Bougainville that was a cloud of pink!
