Life goes on

   This was just one of those very special moments in India. Suresh was devastated by the loss of his wife. They shared a very intimate and loving life. Suresh had a smile on his face and did his beat to present a cheerful facade, but his sadness was barley concealed. I took Jacob's picture and then turned away for a moment. When I looked up this is what i saw. A very great spiritual lesson indeed...when ever you are sad just light a sparkler and give some one you love a hug. Suresh is a Roman Catholic. I believe him to be the embodiment of Christ's teaching. He accepts all aspects of life as god's will and showers his son with love and affection. Suresh never has a harsh word about anyone and shares this love with everyone. He does not care if you are Christian, Muslim or Hindu. If you are alive you are his brother or sister. His faith is what gives him the strength to go on. The Sarah Palins and Jimmy Swargarts of America could take a lesson in Christianity from Suresh. Perhaps this is what you get when Christianity and Hinduism meet.
