From Scared to Sacred

Today while talking to my angel friend, Tina, who pointed out a spelling mistake in my previous blog " Sacred Space". I had made the mistake of typing sCAred, instead of sACred...
I was so embarresed.
I said, what a fool I am. I wanted the poem to sound so holy and serene.
And here i am typing "Scared Space" , it turned out to be a comedy.
I thought , next time, before i post a blog, i better do a spell check.

On second thoughts, a small voice whispered.
How can there be such a small difference in two words which mean the opposite.

SACRED : Holy, worthy of worship...
SCARED : Fearfull, unworthy...

Just by putting the A in front of C, the whole purpose and meaning changes?
What does it mean? Did the person who formed these words think about it?

What does A stand for ? ACCEPTANCE
What does C stand for ? CANCEL

How often do we cancel a person (or even ourselves) , as bad, unworthy..etc , reject them(ourselves) and thus SCARE/ Scar them....
But only when we put ACCEPTANCE before Cancelling, do we truly transform them...
from sCAred to sACred...
All the scars then become symbols of courage, of forgiveness and love.. thus truly sacred...
The symbol of the cross, the most terrible penalty for a sinner was transformed by Jesus Christ to love and forgiveness...
!!
And i havent done a spell check on this ..you never know the hidden messages in mistakes...
only if you listen carefully to friends and your inner self .....
so Tina, pls do tell me my mistakes, they help me transform...

See you tomorrow : ) my Angel in disguise !
