Life is like a jigsaw puzzle. Each little piece is an aspect of our journey through it. And when at last we find that last piece and fit it into place, we eventually see the meaning of this life.
UBC Day 23
The T Piece - Temple
So having written about my Soul, what could possibly follow on from that?
I couldn't make up my mind what to write for T. I thought of Tranquillity or Thankfulness, but no words came to mind. I have written on these topics so many times that somehow writing the same thing again didn't feel right and trying to find something new eluded me.
And then as I was looking at the sky through my lounge window this caught my eye:
And the thought that came into my head instantly was the Dwarkadhish Temple dedicated to Lord Krishna.
I've never been to Dwarka, Gujarat and in fact I have no idea what the temple looks like so I had to look it up and I was quite astonished at what I found.
What a totally amazing moment it was when I saw the Temple in the sky.
I am so thankful for this joyful and thrilling moment that brought tranquillity to my soul.
Wishing you all moments that take your breath away.
Thank you for stopping by. Blessings to all of you.
