A treat from 2010 by Cyrus !

A heartfelt message for 2010...
CYRUS H MERCHANT
Have a little gift for you today.The gift of Patience.There is a proper time and way for every delight.If we dont know what will happen,who can tell when it will happen.So,patience.
When you start holding the hands of Patience,you will automatically be clasped by Peace.And if there is anything we need,it is a ray of peace.
As citizens of the world entering a new year we need to acknowledge our talent of staying-power.Every day from the rising sun of Japan to thirteen hours later in Canada,we are all in one large football field the inescapable hours of the day.In the game of life,hit by our own choices,our circumstances,struck down by jealous people,and to top it all,the flag of penalty waved at us from above,none have been able to dodge that.But we are still playing in such trying times.Dont take that away from us.And look,here we are all again,bushy-tailed and eagereyed as the score-board flaps out,in large numbers,2010.
This is a wonderful world when lived in the truth,in humility.No politician can steal our joy,our city is roughshod over with money muscle and locked-inlobbies,our civic authorities literally take us for a ride,yet a million of us ordinary folk get up and take the train every day,a metaphor that we are unstoppable.Wrong billings,scarce water supply,a corrupt machinery where we cant register our rage,our voices arent heard.We are nothing short of bullied by the system.And yet those guys cant dim our lights.
What can and does is when people hurt people.Each day everyone is just trying to do their best.None are exempt from the call of Life so why not respond with grace and the fellowship of encouragement Employers to respect those theyve employed.Loved ones to love those entrusted to them.
And art to live this good Life with,for we cannot live by bread alone.When was the last Heal the World or Dont Worry Be Happy recorded,one song that we all like and know.When will another Aamir or the same one make another Taare Zameen Pe,a movie that fabulously liberates people from their unspeakable burdens and sets legislation and closed minds in motion When will we get to meet new people,a new friendship that will bring a blast of heavenly air into our life.In a world hung up on romance,the irreplaceable gift of friendship is not sought.This year,may some true talent in every field crash through the cordon of paid-for-marketing and come in front of us the public with its rawness.We need songs and movies,writings and paintings that are true to their voice.It is a need,because art even though it imitates Life,reduces the sting of it.
Christmas,the season that engaged everyone in a conspiracy of love is still in the air,New Years Day is the bridge of hope.Today onwards,everyday of the new-year may we all wear the garment of praise: put on Faith,like our morning clothes,spray on Hope and walk in Love before we set out.
It should be a pretty good day.
