a missive from Oscar E V Fernando – My Cup Has Overflowed My Cup Has Overflowed – Author: John Paul Moore I’ve never made a fortune, and it’s probably too late now. But I don’t worry about that much, I’m happy anyhow And as I go along life’s way, I’m reaping better than I sowed. I’m drinking from my saucer, Cause my cup has overflowed. ...

Twiddling Thumbs Or Counting Blessings – By Oscar E V Fernando On a bench in park-with sunken eyes-white in hair and long in beard-twiddling thumbs and in a tattered hat-a trouser to match-solving-solving a riddle that blocked his teenage mind and was stuck with him from then to now how swift life moved from his teens to now like the clouds that fleet-at times dark-at times bright-passing nights and days with no joy in life-this thought bugging him times no end- why and how suffering on earth with a creator so good and kind? Revolving the riddle over and over with spasms in body-spasms in mind-with zero in life’s bountiful enthusiasm ...

Eternal River-Flowing-Flowing and Flowing Along – by Oscar E V Fernando My Spirit waits in stillness-cells slither along-observing life with wisdom and prudence-searching-searching for the end eternal on and on mid dell and dale I slide-move and crawl-no harm to any unless provoked to stall-then again I move along with no time in waste to win and bawl I see and collect human drama both cruel and joy humming and drumming I slip away-in self-esteem-washing-polishing stones to shimmer for those who make it a price for their supper the fish fauna and the flora within-I feed cloth and shelter as humans should-at times this balance inhibited by human folly sometime somewhere in wanton violence-and arrogance ...

Swift is the Passage to Eternity – By Oscar E V Fernando A strand of atomic beam floating-frolicking in the Heavens- Creeps in to the mother’s womb in Love so Perfect and Divine. So facultied in thought-now in flesh, continues seeing the Eternal Presence- In the cozy sac of the womb in peace and love sublime. Behold-this tender soul and body comes out in time-with a strained cry- So loud to Say-I have Lost-have lost a Grand Majestic Sight. The cry fades in a whimper and then a slumber- Midst angelic smiles-perhaps glimpsing that Grandeur now-lost to its sight. This ceaseless search for that Perfection-goes on and on- Reaching the tomb when life span ends and then-follows on. It is what we do-how we live that matters to Him thereon- So live for others though the pull of flesh is to live forlorn. Leaving flesh to dust-this strand of ...

The Tree – by Oscar E V Fernando Frolics and flows the stream-mid farm, dale and dell- In Succulent feeding the flourishing tree for ages past. Coarsened rough arms spread to heaven in rapturous swell, Beseeching shade for the earth so hotly parched. A haven of rest for chirpy tweeting birds at nest. With soprano ed orchestrations at its best In watchful eye of doting parents each in attendance- With a vigilance wrapped in tender attention. ...

Sunrise and Sunset – By Oscar E V Fernando “When you do something noble and beautiful and nobody noticed, do not be sad. For the sun every morning is a beautiful spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps.John Lennon Sunrise and Sunset In between this rising and setting we live, breath and have our being? It is this Flash of Golden Beam-we do salute the new born day. In this span we grow, be happy and live sharing- All we have in body-soul-mind and spirit in what we do and say. ...
TRUTH: By Oscar E V Fernando God-The Almighty In Christianity God is the unique supreme being, creator and ruler of the universe; so says the dictionary. God we know can be felt, glimpsed in thought-but yet is the Unknowable, accept in His embodiment in Christ Jesus. This is a whole and a holy area where angels fear to tread-and fools must not rush in! ...

Solidarity in Action – by Oscar E V Fernando In its simplest form solidarity is mutual support and unity of interests, aims and actions among members of a group-taking it up from the dictionary definition. With present day technologies, this ‘group’ definition has taken a global dimension-as we have to be in touch with people impersonally for business and commerce etcetera. Solidarity also connotes that we must become aware of the growing cult of individualism-fast enveloping societies, with only a search within, for right or wrong, which is subjective, as opposed to objective realities of truth and moral behavior. It also means that collective decisions must be given priority over individual whims and fancies to accomplish results. Curricula in education must be emphatic that we cannot live and exist independently of others as we are interdependent beings: we must look at interdependence as something good-positive-rational and cherish able. This is ...

Reason for Life-A Plausible Opinion! – By Oscar E V Fernando Is it to-know-love-and serve God-as admonished? To Know! See a bud in gradual bloom-with roots pacing down for nutrients- Leaves breathing in and breathing out oxygen. Life in the egg with no breaking of shell-calf at udder with no earthly guidance. Smile of a mother with unbearable pain in birthing’s sufferance. The birdie ready with open mouth for food at mother’s beak for indulgence. That melodious chord of music enthralling one to a glimpse of heaven’s raptures. Fine tuning of Universe with precision revolution. Are all these accidental? Or is it Maneuvered Intelligence? Why be so blind as to refuse to see these-and many more and thus begin to- Know God. ...

This Eerie silence – By Oscar E V Fernando Will this sound of silence go on and on? Till that terrible drumming within ceases A drumming that is consistently reeling around Till man in his restlessness pulls out its blocking fingers. Thus filling in that frenzied drumming with sweat sound of silence Which is the spirit with which He filled the void in existence before creation. Man was ceaselessly searching for this Silence For Man is restless until he rests in adoration. The search we know was maddening In the wrong direction and it was so saddening With misplaced greed for wealth position and glory All of which was readily there if he searched for His Glory. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God He said For then you will find what you searched with uneasy haste That drumming will cease and you will find rest ...
