Some time ago I was introduced to a quote by Albert Einstein via Twitter. It states:
"There are two ways to live: you can live as though nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle."
It took a few seconds for me to grasp the full concept of this.
Within my mind this translates to "you either believe in God, or you don't.". Furthermore, if one is to evaluate the happenings in and around Earth the magnificent of it becomes irresistible and mostly unexplainable. For instance the planet itself. How is it possible for gravity to exist within but not without? How do the planets rotate on their axes? What causes the texture in the various fruits and plants (especially banana)?
The design, concept, and creation of these things and others were not left up to chance. They were made by the Superior Being. That in my mind concludes that anything which happens after is triggered by what already exists. If the result of two or more miracles colliding equals another miracle.
This might not make much sense but it makes me feel happier. It makes me more thankful, grateful, and that is more than enough.

The ending of the last blog post is a lamentation on the fact that I did not write for a while. Thankfully, I was inspired to write the next day and I'll be typing and posting them in Shaziane Is Poetry shortly. It felt extremely good writing. It feels extremely good to express myself using the written word.

For a moment I did not remember which class that was but I'm pleased to report that the grade changed...I over-reacted without much thought. And again I'm thankful to the Lord.
I have not been able to enter another competition because of my lackadaisical attitude and my schedule (aka my time management). However, I feel good about my writing at the moment.
