A Costly Interruption: The Sermon On the Mount, pt. 2 - Blessed
How would life ever realize ?
1. HOW WOULD LIFE EVER REALIZE ?
How would the rose ever realize that it was profusely scented; unless and until it
witnessed a pile of fetid garbage diffusing its unbearable stench towards
plain sky ?
How would satiny cotton ever realize that it was voluptuously soft; unless and until it
witnessed a mountain of thorns; barbarically ripping apart through innocuous flesh ?
How would the river ever realize that it was a stupendous reservoir of life; unless and
until it witnessed the acrimoniously dry desert; scorching blissful souls to minuscule
embers of burning coal?
How would the rocket ever realize that it was astoundingly fast; unless and until it
witnessed the overwhelmingly pot-bellied tortoise painstakingly crawling towards the
finishing line?
How would the sighted ever realize that they were profoundly endowed by the
Creator; unless and until they witnessed the blind stumbling at every step; even
under the most flamboyantly brilliant sunlight?
How would the rain ever realize that it was incredulously mystical; unless and until it
witnessed the acerbic swords of monotonously sweltering drought; ruthlessly swipe
traces of celestial civilization?
How would the diamond ever realize that it was enchantingly glittering; unless and
until it witnessed the obsolete dilapidation of the dungeons; rotting with a trace of
daylight since centuries unprecedented?
How would the aged man ever realize that he was exorbitantly lucky; unless and until
he witnessed the freshly born infant being indiscriminately capsized by the jaws of
ultimate death?
How would the cave ever realize that it was entrenched with divinely peace; unless
and until it witnessed the rambunctiously boisterous hustle-bustle of the city; the
unruly mobs of different tribes fighting spuriously for blood; in the name of God?
How would the summit of the mountain ever realize that it was incomprehensibly
tall; unless and until it witnessed the rock bottom ground; not able to rise even an
inch ever since the planet was created?
How would the ocean of love ever realize that it was irrefutably immortal; unless and
until it witnessed the chapter of perfidiously lecherous betrayal?
2. How would the crackling flames of fire ever realize that they were unfathomably
rejuvenating; unless and until they witnessed avalanches of uncouth ice; freeze
the most robust of souls alive?
How would the indefatigably throbbing heart ever realize that it was passionate;
unless and until it witnessed lifeless skeletons suspended insidiously from
the lackadaisically barren ceiling?
How would the lion ever realize that he was the indomitable king of the jungle; unless
and until he witnessed the rabbit hiding for mercy behind the untamed wilderness of
the bushes?
How would beauty ever realize that it was ravishingly marvelous; unless and until it
witnessed the most hideously distorted form of living kind?
How would the insurmountably wealthy ever realize that he was rich; unless and until
they witnessed the beggar incessantly begging on the impoverished streets?
How would the literate ever realize that they were commendably knowledgeable;
unless and until they witnessed the slave signing his most cherished document of
freedom; with his bohemian thumb?
How would palpable breath ever realize that it was most indispensable trace of
existence; unless and until it witnessed the coffin not able to budge even a
diminutive iota; incarcerated boundless feet beneath the surface of black mud?
And how would life ever realize that it was the most Omnipotent of all virtues in this
fathomless Universe; unless and until it witnessed the seal of inevitably gory death?
