Anna and I had a privilege of a visit from a good friend of thirty five years standing, Theo. We were little late to arrive at the Cherai Beach, near Kochi. We felt disappointed that the sun set had probably already occurred.
But in less than ten minutes the sky turned brilliant with a glow that caught our attention. It lasted just for a few minutes!
There are times, when we can be overcome by discouragement or disappointment! This was a reminder to us, that season and situations can change if only we can be patient!
One challenge we live with in our times is the instinct for instant gratification! If only we can orient ourselves to this reality that most people who have eight scores or more years to the span of their lives were patient and steadfast! It is a missing dimension in the post modern philosophy of living!
Even a butterfly is willing to wait in its cocoon for several days!
