Tuesdays with Morrie

Tuesdays With Morrie.....


I started reading this book called Tuesdays for Morrie yesterday. Its by this Author named Mitch Albom. How did i first come to know about this book. Well I was at this book rental place and I saw this brand new book on the shelf, The 5 people i meet in heaven - and intrigued by the title, I borrowed the book and read it. Pretty Good, certain paragraphs I don't quite get it. But overall its interesting look on what heaven is like according to the interpretation of the author. Then I was looking forward to reading this first book called Tuesdays with Morrie. Well I wasn't sure if it was good and was trying to see wheter i could actually borrow it. But the book was constantly out. hmmm.. Then on sunday my sister managed to borrow a copy.


I started reading yesterday but I am almost half way through the book. As usual, like my brother used to say, I am a fast reader and its a waste of money buying books in my case. :) But then, I think this book is really really good. I would need to re-read again to let it really register. It touches my core. It home in alot of aspects.

Some of of fears in life is addressed. As some of the people who knows me might alread know. Its been a couple of years now that I try to figure about what my life is about. My purpose. Is money that important. My Fear of Aging. Growing old. There was time when I was around 28 and I dreaded hitting 30... its like a mandatory death sentence for me. But now I am over that threshold, things seems to be still the same. Just that my biological clock is ticking. Of course I also have this attacks of fears - I don't deny it. But has happen more often now than before.

I wish I had a teacher like Morrie. To talk to me, to push me in the right direction. To help me discover my passion,my talent, my gift in order to walk with earth with more ease and pleasure.

Being my 30s now, I am still afraid of what tomorrow might bring. What if do not have enough money. What if at that time, i have no family to take care of me. All these fears!!!! I need a teacher...an interactive one.

I think religion and God is able to give that direction. But at times I crave to have the interactive session where I can ask and will get an instantaneous answer. Asking for too much.... hmmmmmmmmmmmm...
