Random Thoughts
(venugopala Reddy A)
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along with the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to him and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him ! 'he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of his life, there was only one set of footprints. He noticed that this happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and questioned the Lord about it. " Lord, you said that once I followed you, you would walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me". The Lord replied," My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints ! It was then I carried you."
" Death is nothing at all..I 've only slipped away into the next room.. I am I and you are you... Whatever we were to each other that we were still .. call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way, which you always used.! Put no difference into your tone.! Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow... Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me. Pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effort, without the ghost of a shadow on it. Life means that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolutely unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight.. I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near just around the corner. All is well.
