The wonder that is life

Diary entry by my father made on 8.6.2002

47

Grateful for another day to live

To love, survive

I find such simple pleasures

Just by walking in rain

For everyday that comes to me

Is never quite the same

Each moment is precious

Each breath I inward take

My heartbeat is passing time

The thoughts that I shall make

Mostly I take for granted

Such beauty every where

But suddenly I realize the wonder

I can share!

 

48

 Confidence like art

Never comes

From having the answers

It comes from

Being open to all questions

 

49

The tree

Fills with huge breath

Gets on with the work!

In his twilight years he maintained diaries which are a glimpse into his sensitive soul.

I share the pages of one of his diaries here.

On acceptance and brotherly love

44

One who is happy while working

One who is happy while resting

Is never afraid of anything

As he fully accepts the will of God

He is always under the protection

of The One and only One God

Who knows everything

He who goes to sleep, free from worry

And fear and anxiety

He who in his working hours is free

From fear, worry and anxiety

He knows that God pervades in His

Creation everywhere

One who is happy in his home

One who is happy in the outside world

He is the one who lives life by

The Gurus teachings

 

45

Let brotherly love continue

Be not forgetful

To entertain strangers

For thereby 

Some have entertained 

Angels unaware!
