SHARED THOUGHTS………………. 01.01.2017.
============================== ===========\
Imagine this scenario. Place a fully hatched chicken egg and a duck egg on the river side and watch from a distance. A chick will emerge out of that chicken egg. Likewise, a duckling will emerge from that duck egg. Both the chick and duckling will look at the water and the land. The chick will move away from the water and go toward the land. The duckling will move toward the water and feel at home. Both have just emerged out of the egg. What power gave these young ones the knowledge of comfort or fear of water
Canadian Alaskan Salmon have a most interesting life cycle, nothing short of a real miracle. One that takes them from the rivers and streams of Alaska’s wild frontier to the high seas of the Pacific Ocean and back again. In fact, right back to the very place they were born. How they find their way back from the immensity of the Pacific Ocean is a miracle in itself. Not to mention that they swim from fresh water to salt water and back again. Sometimes this means swimming up rugged rivers with miles of rapids and even waterfalls to leap over. Once they get back to their natal stream, they breed and lay their eggs. After spawning they generally die within a week, fertilizing the stream and creating a nutrient-rich environment for the new infant salmon that are about to hatch.
As if there is need for further proof, can we not easily then, acknowledge that there is some higher power that controls these life cycles or instincts from times immemorial? Call this power .. ‘GOD’. The Power that forces Salmon to die so that future generations of Salmon thrive, the power that gives sight to the eyes, hearing to the ears, sensation to the skin, the power that gives the ability to realize what is good, what is bad.. what is right, what is wrong for that chick and duckling.. and for us Humans.
Let us thank God for giving us this gift of Life. Let us spread the message of Peace and Happiness during this short journey. Remember, we are all together in this journey… the entire humankind of this planet. Each of us will have our entry & exit points, but the journey of Life goes on.
“Imagine all the people living in peace. You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday, you’ll join me and the world will be as One”. John Lennon.
The dawn of a new year is nothing but the start of another countdown. Let me wish everyone of you only the very best to come your way, filled with Health, Peace and Happiness all along this journey… Happy New Year.
“Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors and let every New Year find you a better man”. Benjamin Franklin.
