ART

Posted on March 9, 2011 | 2 comments

I was beaming with joy and pride as I studied the masterpiece.
An immortal piece of art, I’m sure.
Yeah ! you guessed it right.
It’s a SPIDER drawn by my 3 year old.
It was a very special spider with 10 legs, one eye and a big mouth.
Dutifully , he reminded me that his spider needed a big mouth to SMILE.
Looking around , I could sense that I was the only one who could see a spider in those strokes.
Not every layman can understand or appreciate the work of the masters.

A prayer by Saint Francis of Assissi

Posted on March 6, 2011 | 1 comment

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy Peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow Love.
Where there is injury , pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand; to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

It’s jumping truck

Posted on March 2, 2011 | Comments Off on It’s jumping truck

“Mommy , mommy, a jumping truck”, my son yelled.
“Yeah.that’s a truck”, I said.
“No, a jumping truck”, he corrected me.
“It’s a U Haul…see U-H-A-U-L” , I promptly corrected him and stood very Mommyish.
“See a frog… a green frog.
It’s a jumping truck. ” , he proclaimed.
Seeing the big green frog painted on the truck’s body, I finally ‘got it’.
Both of us shouted , ” Daddy, a jumping truck.”

Scene I:

“Hey diddle diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon,
The little Dog laughed to see such sport,
And the Dish ran away with the Spoon.”

Yeah, it just seems silly.Why do they make songs like these?
Come on, ” the cow jumped over the moon”?
You gotta be kidding me.

Scene II:
“Hey diddle diddle,The Cat and the fiddle,The Cow jumped over the moon,The little Dog laughed to see such sport,And the Dish ran away with the Spoon.”

Wow! My baby! He knows the whole song.Isn’t that wonderful ? Yeah , I know son… It is such a lovely song!
