Discovered a new author today...infact just moments ago...new for me ofcourse. And I can't help being moved by her writings.
Read her Invitations piece. And I couldnt help thinking that those were the questions that I would want to ask too. And more I read about her, I am finding these small little details that make me feel as if we are similar in some respects...
Her homepage has the words, "Since I was a child, I have written to understand myself and the world....". Just the reason why I like to write too.
And her writing is basically a series of questions, that provoke thought. And I too like to write that way.. a series of questions, that have more meaning in them than any answer can.
Ofcourse I dont think am that good a writer, but I do feel a connection...
The things she writes about, feels and talks about...would be interesting to read more of her works.
But more than anything, I have just found another
source of inspiration...
Something that's going to continue to inspire me to write more...
Thanks Oriah! And thanks Perceptions for pointing me to her!!

Faith
Love Shyamalan's movies. This one's my favourite from Signs,
People break down into two groups when they experience something lucky.
Group number one sees it as more than luck, more than coincidence. They see it as a sign, evidence, that there is someone up there, watching out for them.
Group number two sees it as just pure luck. Just a happy turn of chance. I'm sure the people in Group number two are looking at those fourteen lights in a very suspicious way. For them, the situation isn't fifty-fifty. Could be bad, could be good. But deep down, they feel that whatever happens, they're on their own. And that fills them with fear.
Yeah, there are those people. But there's a whole lot of people in the Group number one. When they see those fourteen lights, they're looking at a miracle. And deep down, they feel that whatever's going to happen, there will be someone there to help them. And that fills them with hope.
See what you have to ask yourself is what kind of person are you? Are you the kind that sees signs, sees miracles? Or do you believe that people just get lucky? Or, look at the question this way: Is it possible that there are no coincidences?
Is it possible that there are no coincidences? That's something that I often think about...

A million tiny little things...
Call it fate or coincidence or what, but Sleepless in Seattle was playing this weekend and I could not help but watch it again.
Liked the below quotes a lot,
Doctor Marcia Fieldstone: Tell me what was so special about your wife?
Sam Baldwin: Well, how long is your program? Well, it was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were suppose to be together... and I knew it. I knew it the very first time I touched her. It was like coming home... only to no home I'd ever known... I was just taking her hand to help her out of a car and I knew. It was like... magic.
Could he have put it any better? Instead of rambling on and on about the various things he likes about her, he states the plain and simple fact,
...it was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up...
I couldn't help agreeing. That's how it is I guess, for all those whom we love. You can't define, that this one thing is the reason you love them. You just love them. And their million little things.
