SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION
The promise of God’s enduring LOVE gives us hope even at the darkest of times. This small book is a testament that you are loved at all times and under all circumstances.
Let this be known today and affirmed through this small book:
“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.”
John 3:16-17 (NIV)
The cow sat there… still… lost in its own thoughts.
“Cows think with their mouths,” we had often laughed at their nonchalance. They seemed oblivious to the maddening world around them.
I was disturbed. The cow chewed on unperturbed.

The cow sat there… still… lost in its own thoughts.
“Cows think with their mouths,” we had often laughed at their nonchalance. They seemed oblivious to the maddening world around them.
I was disturbed. The cow chewed on unperturbed.
“Did you know, the term ‘rumination’ comes from the cud-chewing of cows?” My mind has an annoying habit of reminding me weird things at odd times. And it also has the habit of dwelling on it endlessly. But this brings a smile on my face and calms my nerves as I feel like a cow – “we have a bond,” I think, “we both ruminate a lot”.
The cow draws from the rumen of its four-chambered stomach; I search within my cortex to recover those undigested memories that I can ruminate on and give words to thoughts that have long held me captive in their inexplicable power. If I ever want to be free, I need to seek out the source that formed me.
I ruminate to find meaning in the seemingly rigid structures of the world around me, where thoughts are held prisoners.
And as I recollect, I feel this prison break… brick by brick… bar by bar. I can feel the fresh breeze. Yes, it’s free.
And I am free with it, when I am transformed and I embody the change I want to see…
When words fail us, we fall back on the written word. Something that resonates.
A beloved story… A favourite song… A cherished poem…A comforting letter…
When, in moments like these, the senses are numbed and the heart has stilled; we look for reassurance that we are not alone, that someone knows what our hearts are yearning to tell. And when we find the words before us, words that reflect the whispers of our hearts,
When words fail us, we fall back on the written word. Something that resonates.
A beloved story… A favourite song… A cherished poem…A comforting letter…
When, in moments like these, the senses are numbed and the heart has stilled; we look for reassurance that we are not alone, that someone knows what our hearts are yearning to tell. And when we find the words before us, words that reflect the whispers of our hearts, we know that we have found a friend.
I wrote the poems in this collection, “my Psalms on my knees”, when I was going through difficult times. As I knelt in prayer, and my lips won’t utter the waves that rolled in my heart; amidst tears, fears and grief, I found gladness on my knees pouring my prayers in verses.
These prayers in poetry have been my comfort and friend, and they have held me and strengthened me for quite a while now; and something like this, something that has the power to bring joy shouldn’t be kept to oneself.
So as I share this with you, I pray: May these prayers comfort and strengthen you; and give you meaning and joy whenever you feel overwhelmed.
