All travelers have an appreciation for the natural beauty, unique culture and fascinating history of the foreign lands they explore. And it is through this exploration that they also see the flip side of those exotic lands, the hardships endured by some of the people, devastating poverty amid the cultural treasures, lack of basic resources such as clean water, electricity, proper shelter, and crippling social class distinctions that crush hopes and dreams. Inspired by Nobel Prize Laureate Mohamm

A Reconnoitre in VeronaNothing can dim the glow of my joyThose meaningful moments which I still recallI find certain happiness yet silence in timeWith occupying thoughts that always cross my mind.Along the stream of consciousness, there’s a hidden messageI may be attentive, yet time creeps so fast.There’s difficulty that hampers me thougha busload of burdens that wrap me till night.On and off, I turn to gaze at these thingsWholly appreciative that counts twice as much.The richness in spirit open

This however was laden

What matters is not our feeling close to God but our certainty and conviction of his being close to us. That was the conviction that radiated some kind of assurance as we reflected on what it means to walk through the footsteps of Christ.
