As Tomorrow Cometh, are you Future-Ready?

Reflections on a Post-Covid19 Tomorrow

Today, my journey into a new cycle of life resumes,

Undauntedly surviving the coronavirus,

Towards the morrow on the light of truth.

Living a life by choice, not by chance,

Listening only to my inner voice,

Not the random thoughts of others;

Without any delusions and illusions of false religions, myths,

Superstitions, man-made beliefs, lies and more true lies,

Or the false promises of competition and domination,

Celestial hope and economic exploitation.

To continue the pursuit of truth relentlessly

Beyond conflated myths, facts, and fiction, To discover the true faith that bridges there to here. Faith has strengthened as death retreated

Together with unbelief and disbelief debunked, Knowledge and wisdom overcome delusions & illusions, Happiness re-discovered by sharing joy and well-being with others,

As life’s journey continues beyond the Covid19 pandemic.

Today at the edge of liberation from the pandemic, Many will wish that tomorrow should come sooner;

For them, a better tomorrow remains a dreamy mirage,

A return to yesterday’s social injustice, inequality and pain. A new era has beckon;

We can wake up to a new age;

Be the change we desire the world to be,

Make changes, not excuses.

Re-create your tomorrow And banish tomorrow’s inevitability

Of broken hearts and shattered dreams,

Of unrequited love and promises unfulfilled, Of disappointments and pain,

Of lies and more true lies,

Of elusive happiness and mirages of love.

Bring new pathways and fresh challenges

And unimaginable opportunities; Doors to unexplored prospects shall open,

Embarking on fresh journeys to the other side.

Seize the moment — carpe diem.

But, why? No, wait. Be patience — life is short, why rush through? Life’s an adventure, not a race;

Pause to smell the flowers, Appreciate creation diversity, Understand the multicultural palette In life’s awesome mix of trials and tribulations, Embrace the mystery of pain and suffering

Along moments of rare joy and happiness.

Questions the very purpose of Creation; Can there be peace without wars? Joy & happiness without pain & sadness? Abundance without poverty? Living without sickness & disease? Sharing without exploiting? Collaboration without domination? Loving without hurting or being hurt? To live like no tomorrow? Yes, we can.

Just a little consideration for others;

Just giving from what we have;

Just sharing a little more from our abundance;

Just be happy adding value for a little less profit;

Just being more gracious and less calculative;

Just be joyful to assist and serve without gain;

Just go make poverty history;

Just win the race against racism;

Just a little more love for your loved ones;

Just pray for the power of love

To vanquish the love for power.

Just choose to do the things that others won’t

So that you can always do the things that they can’t;

It is so simple to make a better tomorrow.

In our readiness for the post-Covid19 morrow,

Peep into your future, and dare to dream To live for today like no tomorrow. Today, surrender your desires, greed and ambitions. Give up this life today;

Leave the life you have been pursuing And embrace the life that has been waiting for you,

Letting go the things passed for they are past,

Free yourself and choose freedom for life.

Expect nothing in return,

Know that life is no house of cards,

Believe not in promises ancient or recent,

Gratitude is not a quid pro quo,

Your efforts are rarely appreciated,

Nor your brilliant talents discovered.

Least understood shall be your love

And you can be hurt only by those you love.

Yesterday is past and has passed, gone.

Decide what your tomorrow can be

As you load up your future- readiness.

Today, I look afar, distant, up and down,

Squinting my eyes for tomorrow’s light.

I could feel the wind across my face,

Like the breeze of hope from tomorrow.

A distant noise vibrates in my bones,

Like a rumbling, pulsing and purring voice,

So surreal and not human.

I could see it with my heart

And feel in my mind.

The light expands as I stare into it

Filling the space of our distance from here to there;

Out of a sudden, I could see it

Staring back at me, oh my tomorrow,

The life awaiting me beckons;

And today shall begin again

The first day of the rest of my life

As I depart the crisis

To grasp beyond my grab

For the promises of tomorrow,

Where we shall meet on the other side.
