European Post

Hello, to all my readers. I have not been writing for a while as I am currently in Europe or London to be exact. I had just returned from Amsterdam and currently drinking a tasty cup of 'hot chocolate'. I will write about my exploits in Europe in later post.




To kick off my first pot of the new year, is that of what I was thinking on the ferry which I took from Calais, France to Dover, England. I was thinking about love, or rather loneliness. I had a moment of reflection of the things that have been, and also thing that is to be, but the thought that dominated most in my mind was the thought of someone, the thought of 'the one'. I was thinking of Sarah

It was one of the reasons that i came to Europe, is to relieve my mind of her, so that when I returned home, she will be nothing more but a memory. But still the feelings that I have for her is still attached to me. I will let it go before I leave. One things comes to mind on the ferry was that when I thought about God, and all the prayers we ask of Him, I remembered, when I prayed to God, to sent me someone to love me.






I realised that God will not send her down to me on some plate or in a box all wrapped up and decorated with ribbons. What happens is that God will show you to her, He will lead you to her and when you see her, God will touch you in the heart to tell you, this is what you ask for. Then it is up to you to go up to her and get her.

But what if, what if you blew your chance with her? She is yours for the taking, but because the challenge is too hard or the timing is not right, for whatever reason, you blew it with her? She was the one for you and you ruined it with her, you fumbled and you failed. What then? what is there install for you. It scared me because for a moment there I thought you have missed your chance of happiness.

While I was in Europe, I had to be precise in certain timing to get to where I was going, I had no personal transport so I relied heavily on public transportations. Like when I am chasing the last train to Paddington, or when I was trying to catch my bus back to London, or the train to Amsterdam. Being alone made everything so much harder because I could only rely on myself. A single mistake would not only leave me stranded, but it will cost me a lot of money, on top of the money that I have wasted.

But sometimes shit happens. Like today, because of the change in platform at the Amsterdam Centraal, I took the wrong train, I was suppose to go to Amstel, but I ended up in Utreacht the next town near outside Amsterdam. I missed my bus at 7:00pm as my detour got me in Amstel half an hour late. When I got to the office, they told me I could still make the next one for an extra fee of €10. So I made the change.

The thing is that the bus will not be taking the train to London, but it will be boarding the ferry from Calais to Dover. I had always wanted to go to Dover, and see the white cliffs, but because of time restrictions, I had crossed it out of the place I am going to visit this time. But since I missed the bus at 7pm, I was able to see it. Sure it is dark and I could not take a picture of it, but I was there, in Dover looking ath the white cliffs.

Thanks to the designs of the European transport person, I was given something better then going through a dark tunnel. I was given a chance to see Dover. And that comforted me about the whole love thing. For if a man, or the combined brain of many man could come up with such rectification, I wonder what is in store for me by Allah SWT. For He can command anything and everything, and more perfect than the minds of men.

Maybe someone better or someone I was meant to be waa still in store for me. I can't say I know what is going to be, but when I get there, I will like the sight of it. Happy 2013 everybody!
