bluepanjeet: I am an ex-capuchin seminarian who dream. I dream of becoming someone of service to my fellowmen. Though limited and often held by my own whims and caprices, humanness, flaws, warts and all, I’m striving to make my journey a meaningful and fruitful one. I try to make my dream inside and not outside of the world I am living in. My dream is simple, insignificant to others and trivial to some, but I dare take the leap against the flow the society’s standards. I dream big, but I start from small steps. I look at the big picture, but begin with the tiniest of all details. I do extraordinary things in the ordinariness of all events. Like Francis of Assisi before me, I have a dream, a simple and small dream. This blog is the start of a much bigger dream, a realization, an effort to make a difference in the world and its inhabitants. Join me as I journey in the secular world, blogging about my daily traversals which are often times accompanied by the moral lessons of life's humor and irony, the integration of the human and the Divine, my search for my proper place in the greater scheme of things and my never ending flight towards my aspirations, yearnings and goals On The Wings Of My Dream.
