A man died…
When he realized it, he saw God coming closer with a suitcase in his hand.
Dialog between God and Dead Man:
God: Alright son, it’s time to go.
Man: So soon? I had a lot of plans…
God: I am sorry but, it’s time to go.
Man: What do you have in that suitcase?
God: Your belongings.
Man: My belongings? You mean my things… Clothes… money…
God; Those things were never yours, they belong to the Earth.
Man: Is it my memories?
God: No. They belong to Time.
Man: Is it my talent?
God: No. They belong to Circumstance.
Man: Is it my friends and family?
God: No son. They belong to the Path you travelled.
Man: Is it my wife and children?
God: No. they belong to your Heart.
Man: Then it must be my body.
God: No No… It belongs to Dust.
Man: Then surely it must be my Soul!
God: You are sadly mistaken son. Your Soul belongs to me.
Man with tears in his eyes and full of fear took the suitcase from the God’s hand and opened it…Empty…With heartbroken and tears down his cheek he asks God…
Man: I never owned anything?
God: That’s Right. You never owned anything.
Man: Then? What was mine?
God: your MOMENTS. Every moment you lived was yours.

Dear Keen Writer,
A witty tale to remind us what truly matters — the moments we have. To be more precise, the moments that we are meant to live as always in the present and choosing how we respond in each, whether from love or from fear.
Keep posting every week.
Dear Harshi,
Truly that’s what this tale is all about.
