I was thinking about what I should post as my fiftieth post on my blog.
Just on time, as it always happens, Preeti Shenoy in her popular blog http://justamotheroftwo.blogspot.in
gave a
fun writing prompt as part of a contest, heralding the release of her much awaited book ,The One You Cannot Have named as TOUCH.
The prompt for TOUCH
Thursday no.1 was:
If I could have anyone I choose as my 'forever friend'/ 'life partner' , I would choose..................................................
If I could have anyone I choose as my 'forever friend'/ 'life partner' , I would choose..................................................
So …I
decided to participate.
Since I am
already married, that too quite happily, I choose the ‘forever friend’ part of
the prompt.
If I could have anyone I choose as my forever friend, I will
choose an ‘Angel’ to be my forever friend.

I have
always lived in a fantasy world, right from my childhood.
I believe in mischievous leprechauns, who makes shoes all day long and store
away all their gold coins in a hidden pot, at the end of a rainbow.

I believe
that the dew drops shining on the grass are actually beads which fell from the
sparkling necklaces of fairies, who danced away last night under the moon.

I believe
there exists a world of Wizards and that Harry potter is just a wink away.

I believe in Guardian Angels, who are with us right from the moment we begin our sojourn on earth.
So
naturally, I want my forever friend to be an Angel. One who will take guidance from
god and my guardian angel and help me fulfill my soul’s purpose.
My angel, being a celestial being isn’t affected by emotions, trauma or doubt. This helps
my angel to guide me when I am in doubt, soothe me when I am in pain and heal
me when I am ill.
Whenever I
need help, all I need to do is just ask and help comes to me in seconds. My
Angel talks to me through my thoughts, my dreams and my intuitions. When I want
to write, I hear true and divine messages that I can express through the
written word.
My Angel protects me from all things that have no place in my life. I am shielded from negativity by the feathery shield of my Angel’s wings. I find people motivated by my Angel, to help me. Miracles always wait to happen.
When a
feather silently floats towards me, when I feel the warmth of a soothing embrace,
when the breeze brings in an enchanting smell, I know my Angel is near.
I need my
Angel to be near me always...
Keep me in your arms forever...
Do remain with me always… Please...
PS: This post got a special mention in the contest and a several hundred views.

Thank You Preeti Shenoy for this writing prompt.
wow you are enjoying online ...i hope its reflecting in all faculties of life ....love Sai
ReplyDeleteYeah Sai...Enjoying ...
Deleteits just so nice to know that there are people like me in this world, who believe in fairies... :) even when everyone says, 'you are not a kid anymore.."
ReplyDeleteOh...fairies and Angels do exist. Definitely you have me for company..We just fail to notice them. We all were happy in childhood living in a fantasy world looking for fairies and angels. Then we just lost all happiness and hope when we started to believe in the so called reality.
DeleteThis is one of the bestest posts I've ever read, Preethi. I was all smiles while reading this. I love fantasy too. And I'm one of those people who is often asked to"grow up"or be told "you are not a kid anymore" n "behave matured". I believe that fairies and angels do exist around us n bless us thru life. So "the droplets of water on leaves" part was sheer poetry n superb. There's one thing about my fantasies that hurts me all the time--that Harry Potter story is not real; I wish such a world really exists and we r part of it! Would love to read more posts by u. P.S. I too wish your post had won the writing prompt:)
ReplyDeleteThank You.... That was so sweet of you.
DeleteI am happy I have company in my beliefs. I grew up a bit fast I guess. Otherwise at the age of eleven I would have got my letter from Hogwarts. JK Rowling and Harry Potter came a bit late...:(
I wish I have an angel too!!! But I am glad God has gifted me with a few friends like you, those who are as beautiful as Angels to me!!!
ReplyDeleteAll of us have them around. Just ask and they will come to help. Yeah... Of coz...I am Angelic...:D
ReplyDeleteSome imagination, a department I sadly lack in :D
ReplyDeleteThank you Mridula...Your posts speak differently. They are full of life and reality. Mine is fantasy...Genre different..:D
DeleteSuch a lovely post, Preethi. I believe my guardian angels or heavenly angels are near me when a white feather silently floats towards me. I keep that feather in a drawer and make a wish.
ReplyDeleteWow...someone who believes like me. I have an angel card deck and call upon my angels for help whenever in doubt. Believe me, I get accurate answers.
DeleteFirst, Heartiest Congrats for your 50th post, Preethi!
ReplyDeleteHappy Half-Century with this wonderful Post!
