GOOD MORNING MESSAGE #309

How can we understand God….

♥Good morning friends,

A thought on my dad’s 35th death anniversary:

Dad, years after your death,
I understood you and understood God.
And hence now before my last breath,
I salute thee, appreciate and applaud.
Good sense has visited me rather late,
But, still I feel it was worth the wait.

I still remember the day I got the shocking news,
Lyn was about to deliver and we lost you.
Suddenly I was asked to step into your shoes.
I asked myself what, in that situation, you’d do.
I simply did everything the way you would.
On my own there was nothing that I could.

Gradually I realised how hard it was to fight,
Against those seeped in parochialism and corruption.
You had taught me how to weigh what’s wrong and right,
And you showed me how to deal with life’s disruption.
And everytime I realised how you fought alone,
Against all the dangers known and unknown.

If we take so much time to understand dad,
How much time is needed to know God?
We are only a few children who find our dad mad,
There are billions who find God’s universe flawed.
Dad, thank you for teaching me even after you’re gone,
And now, because of you, to God I am drawn.

….when we take so much time to understand dad?

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
