Leap of Faith

By Shilp Smita

To write of the conflict within, to be wronged by life and still feel blessed to be living. To know that wrong was just a part of bigger plan of right. This collection essays a reflection into touching a realm, a dimension, we only feel deep within, and are too scared to talk about. This work is a belief in goodness even in the worst of souls, and a belief of filling unimaginable abyss of chaos grief and darkness in human beings, with love light and faith.

It is for all the people who have been at the turning points of their lives and have sensed a lower band in all they fail to do and an upper hand which comes to their rescue. It’s for everyone out there who understands that love and pain are inseparable, that angels and devils do exist and we all have a part of both in us. It’s all about which one we love more, the devil to kiss him and make him go the sleep or the angel to challenge and make him go much higher.

This short collection is a trial at both communication and silence, because that’s where our innermost or the supreme, as we call it, resides

To the ones felt, even if unknown

observed yourself. And when you lose that

Preface

It’s difficult to pen down one particular reason for writing this book, as more than a book, I consider it a collection of moments.

Some great ones, some not-so-great ones, bringing out a medley of emotions, playing itself in my head, spilling out onto paper.

The idea to share is to make people feel love, to experience it and probably come out of it stronger and better.

This is an attempt at getting back in touch with that inner chord within, which can create a great music of oneness, if we are just able to listen to it just once in our lifetimes.
