X- Extraordinary story

This April for the A-Z 2020 challenge I have taken short stories from book of Fr Anthony De Mello –  “prayer of the frog”. I would like to share these stories and hopefully believe that these stories will inspire you too.  

Once upon a time there was a forest where the birds sang by day and the insects by night. Trees flourished, flowers bloomed and all manner of creatures roamed about it in freedom.

And all who entered there were led to Solitude which is the home of God who dwells in Nature’s silence and Nature’s beauty.

But then the Age of Unconsciousness arrived when it became possible for people to construct buildings a thousand feet high and to destroy rivers and forests and mountains in a month. So houses of worship were built from the wood of the forest trees and from the stone under th forest soil. Pinnacle, spire and minaret pointed towards the sky; the air was filled with the sound of bells, with prayer and chant and exhortation.

And God was suddenly without a home.

I finding this post relevant to our context with COVID 19 there is certainly a change in the world and we must be prepared to adapt and become flexible in accepting reality  and to live life more consciously without taking anything or anyone for granted..

Thanks for reading this post, appreciate your time. I would be glad to hear your thoughts.

Be Blessed & Be Happy !
