Life is a learning journey. Life teaches through experiences, whether we recognize these lessons or not. When we reflect on our lives, we make sense of our experiences, and internalize what we learn.


On this website, we hope to foster and encourage the spirit (including our own) of reflection and learning about life. Through the sharing of life stories and experiences, and reminding one another about the important lessons we have experienced but might have forgotten in our hectic city life…

Patience

Webmaster June 22nd, 2008

by Cindy L. 
They always say, patience is a virtue.
Do people ever question whether it is indeed one?
What if tomorrow never comes?
What is it that you want,
but feels you can’t,
until later?
There are some things that definitely can’t wait.
Like loving your loved ones, and letting them know.
Yet strangely, some things can’t be rushed.
Otherwise, it takes another turn and heads […]

Live life one day at a time.

Life has to be lived one day at a time.
Some things cannot be rushed,
for life’s experiences does not all present themselves within a single class.
But sometimes you just can’t wait,
you are anxious to reach the “desired end-state”.
But perhaps, it is the wait,
and surprises and experiences that time brings,
that makes the process fuller,
and the […]

Why work ?

Webmaster June 22nd, 2008

by Cindy L. 
Whether you are old or young, a genius or a commoner, rich or poor…
even if you choose to work for interest, rather than just to earn a living…
if you work,
you are SURE to face stress and frustrations.
Yet strangely, it is this search for money, this need to earn a living..
that poses us the […]

Remember your successes

Webmaster January 6th, 2008

By Cindy L.
Today, my friend shared with me through sms that she had found some purpose to live for. She reminded me that now long ago, she was feeling that there was none that she wanted to live for. I am happy for her and wished that she would always remember the experience - of having […]

Lonely Battles?

Webmaster January 3rd, 2008

by Cindy L. 
No matter how much love and support we may find in our loved ones, when it comes to the problems or challenges we face in our lives, more often than not, we have to deal with these challenges ourselves. Our most supportive loved ones, no matter how much help they try or have given to us, would […]

Where does that leave me?

Webmaster December 29th, 2007

By Cindy L.
Education has made me snobbish,
the good things in life has made me unappreciative;
the choices i have make me picky;
and I am selective.
The need to be liked has made me unnatural,
the downfalls in life has made me afraid,
the fear in me makes me less than courageous,
and in my strive to […]

Did God mean for us to do it this way?

Webmaster December 29th, 2007

By Cindy L.
Did God mean for us to do it this way?
To clad images of our gods in gold and other precious metals?
To mediate in a crowded midst where everyone is moving about noisily?
To ask for God’s help to resolve life’s challenges, and afterwhich return to man’s race without attempting to do things differently? In other […]

Truth in a single place

Webmaster December 29th, 2007

by Cindy L.  
God holds the Truth.
But would God give this Truth to Man in a single all-correct religion?
Would the complete Truth, in a single place, deprive Man of life’s most important journey — the search for meaning?

If you are everything to everyone, you may end up being nothing to yourself.
