A vicious cycle is being followed throughout the globe. He looked up at the sky wondering if there was a God or not. All he could see was pale blue sky littered with some grey clouds here and there. He stopped in his tracks, looked back and tried to trace his own steps. He was standing in the middle of a desert with no one else is his sight. Yet he could not figure out how his own footsteps were being erased from the sand. There was not a single hint of wind blowing. If there had been some wind he wouldn’t have minded it at all. He had been in the desert for past 26 hours and nobody had come to his rescue. He finally gave in- buried his head in the sand- waited for divine intervention. For the first time in his life, he hoped for the idea of a God to be true. The miracle happened. The rescue got to him. She was beautiful.

She was sitting alone in her apartment. The only light present in the room was coming from a crack in window blinds. She was staring at the television which was switched off. She was staring at her own reflection. Her life had been brilliant- her family ever present- her love never departed- her child, at her, never shouted- yet she sat there all alone. She wondered what had left her in such a desolate place. She wondered and no answers arrived. Then it hit her like a lightening strike in a dark moonless night. The flash blinded her for a second. She closed her eyes- took a deep breath- her denial came crashing down- she achieved peace after all. The window opened and the room was lit up.

He was fighting against the current- fighting for survival- fighting to save her life- fighting. The flood had taken them by surprise. Chatting in their small chateau off the coast of Spain, they were living their perfect happy lives. They loved the smell of earth that came due to the rain- they loved every part of their lives. Suddenly the flood struck their home and she found herself clinging on to his arm for her life. She had faith in him- he had faith in her- they knew they’d make it. They were together. But it wasn’t meant to be. Faith is a strange thing- placed in wrong places, it can lead to doubts. He died- she was rescued.

Why wouldn’t she have doubts now? Why wouldn’t she be in denial?
“because that light coming from the crack in the window is bigger and better than anything else. It is hope, it is life, it is faith- kept in the right place- the place of God.”
