The Hill

Have you heard
of that hill...
On which wild flowers
never bloom...
The hill with no trees
no waterfalls
no butterflies...
It stands blue
and desolate;
Alone in a sea of hills
Hills that are green
and moist and alive...
That blue hill
with no trees...
That is where I live...

Sometimes God with all his wisdom and inspite of all his bounty keeps us as an example of an exception....
But why and how would he choose among his children the ones to serve as the bearers of his message, however subtle it may be. How?
How would we do it to a bunch of people....he too judges us and see if we will be able to carry out his tasks...He wont like to see us breaking because of it....God does not burden a soul with more than what the soul can take....
Serving a purpose for God is the utmose one could wish for in his/her life.....and my Prophet Muhammad has assured me that its not without rewards...
Sooner or later....

I liked your use of hill as a metaphor. Your posts are refreshing. Looking forward to more.

If you have time, visit my blog too. I have a similar story to tell.
