Should I say I have only one life! I never even thought about it. But for the last few days it has been poking my head. I have begun to see many lives in me. Let’s be straight forward. I embraced student life almost 25 years ago, in between a few years of gap I still continue with my student life. When I joined with the Jesuits, I embraced religious life, then spiritual life, vowed life, intellectual life …then I added life in Calcutta, life in Chennai, life in Dublin, life in Rome…and list is endless. Have they divided my life into pieces!
Lately I have faced or rather began to see many challenges of life. I have no doubt to say that life is a struggle. But have I stopped! Have I given up my life! No!!! I have begun to see many new faces of life. Many more aspects of life are emerging within me. I am convinced with my Spiritual Director, who often says life is a process. These days I spend many hours confined in my room, looking at the books, remembering all the great personalities who have written and have spoken based on their life experiences. I do look at my experiences. I ponder over them. And then I look for many more experiences…
