Is lone a matter for the head
or for the heart?

(Jane Austen)

Come by this line in her book today, and I stop. I drop the book in my lap and close my eyes.

Inevitably brilliant question.

I try to ask myself and figure out what could be the right answer. Well, all that come out from my head is the title of the song that David Cook sang beautifully last night on his final performance on American Idol, "I'm still haven't found what I'm looking for"

Is the journey in this 'looking thing'
should always feel so lonely?


Both for the head, and for the heart?

In a certain village in Umbria (Italy), there lived a man who was always bewailing his lot. He was a Christian, and found the weight of his cross too heavy to bear.

One night, before going to sleep, he begged God to let him change his burden.

That night he had a dream; the Lord led him to a warehouse. "Go ahead and change it," he said.

The man saw crosses of all sizes and shapes, with the names of their owners. He picked an average size cross – but when he saw the name of an old friend written on it, he left it aside.

Finally, as God had permitted, he chose the smallest cross he could find.

To his surprise, he saw his own name written on it.

MOTHERHOOD

Mothers mold, shape and colour their unique creations,
everyday, in everything they do.

Mothers don't even think in terms of sacrifice.
No matter what they have to give up to raise their children,
it is always worth it.

Knowing what it is to be a mother,
is the gateway to know
what it is to be a human.

Motherhood is not a costume you put on
for a brief moment now and then.
There is no"time off", no sick leave or paid holidays.
but, it is always worth it.

To every mom in the world,
who always look with your heart and feel with your eyes,
who always be a bank
where your children deposit all their worries and hurt,
who always be there,
Happy Mother's day!

Yes, it is always worth it.
