Struggling Father desirous to see his Son - 42

My Dearest Beta Shanu,

How are you beta? Are you enjoying the stories which I have sent you? Are you able to write all the alphabets and make sentences? Do you daily say the counting? We are going thru tough a time, but lets enjoy this time as much as we can learn from this painful separation forced on us. This will only increase the love and devotion between you and me. The result is in the hand of Lord, play this exercise with your friends, ask your friends (You do have friends?) to close their eyes and keep hands on your shoulders and then walk. See, nobody falls and then repeat the vice-versa. Same thing I do only difference is I have Lord as path finder and my soul is driven by him. That’s why I see you and feel your image but being a human, I’m still not immune to flavors of desire to see you in person and enjoy the responsibility and pleasures of your company in an environment of truth, love and trust, which definitely I hope will happen. There are lot of your actions which can be best practices for the art of living, namely how you use to show your displeasure, love and dependencies in an egoless and honest fashion. The admirable beauty of communicating your pleasures, love and fear with no consideration to social architecture, ego and fear is something which is almost God like and an anthem for all. Your birth and living with you was a divine experience and as a bhakt I will always pray for the proximity to the same divinity again and again and … I pray and I pray.

Today I have taken a story from Fables stories collection. This is the story of wolf in sheep’s clothing. Enjoy the story and have a merry time.

“
Once upon a time there lived a wolf. He was growing old and slow. “I’m finding it difficult to hunt my prey. I must find an easier way to get my food.” But the wolf couldn’t come up with a plan.

One day, he walked out of his lair and to the edge of the forest. He saw a flock of sheep grazing in the distance. He crept up to the sheep, slowly and silently. Beside the grazing flock was a well. The wolf quickly ran up and hid behind the well. “From here I can surely catch a sheep,” he said. He waited, then suddenly, when they were very close, pounced on one of the sheep and caught it. He quickly ate it up.

The sheep’s skin was left behind. ”Yes,” the wolf thought. “Now I have a plan to make sure I don’t go hungry again.”

He slipped himself into the sheep skin and joined the flock. “Oh!” said one sheep, “You escaped from the wolf. We thought you were dead.” The wolf in the sheep’s skin laughed to himself as he nodded his head.

Evening had come and the sheep went back to their pen. So did the wolf. The shepherd did not know because the wolf looked like a sheep.

Days passed by. The shepherd noticed that everyday sheep went missing. He was very surprised. “How can any sheep be missing!” he queried, “I have been carefully tending to them.” But he could only wonder.

Meanwhile, the wolf would eat up a sheep every night when they were fast asleep. He grew fat.

One day, the shepherd came into the pen. His relatives were coming from a far off land and he wanted to give them a feast. He looked around and there in a corner sat a nice plump sheep. “ That will be a nice one to have”, he said to himself. That was no sheep but the wolf in sheep’s clothing.

As the farmer led the sheep to the slaughter, he suddenly realized it was no sheep but a plump wolf.

He was very surprised. He then realized why he had been losing one sheep every night. The shepherd killed the wicked wolf.

HA! HA! HA!
