Care to donate any story books?

A school for the underprivileged in Bangalore would welcome your story book contribution. Their wish list on Amazon is here. A story book collection drive launched in 2009 was successful, but I wish to continue the effort.

A prayer to untie the knots.


Dear Readers,
I received this from my cousin via email and thought I must share. What better way to share than via my blog.
Hmmmm.... blogger has made some changes and I guess temporarily (I hope) it is not possible to expand a photograph easily and read the words. So here they are:

THE KNOTS PRAYER

Dear God: Please untie the knots
that are in my mind, my heart and in my life;
Remove the have-nots,
the can-nots and the do-nots,
that I have in my mind.

Erase the will-nots,
may-nots,
might-nots, that may find
A home in my heart.

Release me from the could-nots,
would-nots
and should-nots, that obstruct my life.

And most of all,
DEAR GOD,
I ask that you remove from my mind,
my heart and my life, all of the 'am-nots',
that I have allowed to hold me back
especially the thought
that I am not good enough.
AMEN.

(Author known to God)
