A Fly
I, Radenko Fanuka, was born in 1939 and lived through the
unforgettable, unbearable days of WWII. During my early childhood
years, I remember, I was often bitten by flies. They woke me up and
motivated me to think and so did the human mind. It made me think, cry
and suffer. Many flies were present during the atrocities of the war
and they witnessed the unbearable truth. In fact, a large fly
population existed at that time.
It is now the year 2005 and not too
many flies are flying around. What has happened to them and why? They
were simply flies. The new remarkable history was made very quickly
and its traces of some old answers will be left behind. Why?
Entire
nature has been hurt and badly wounded. Our life and the life of
healthy nature require clean air, clean water and pure organic food.
Is this the only truth? If it is not the truth, then it is whatever it
is. Yes, entire nature is badly wounded, but does anyone have an
answer bearing the truth? Is it possible that there could be anything
worse from what has happened to us, than this truth?
Natures healthy
philosophy stems from two ends, like a dormant seed thats attempting
to grow. One end anchors itself and the other end grows to the
extended healthy point.
I often wonder what has happened somewhere
down the line to lifes purposeful, healthy source of education? Where
have we been all this time, and with what were we preoccupying
ourselves? We began to beat an empty straw and we continue this futile
task.
I am asking you to please help me find the proper word which I
am unable to find. It is the word which could fulfill the daily lives
of our children. For quite a few years I have observed one clear image
of our nature and I have come to a realization that someone has used
philosophy in a similar way as if a tree were planted without roots.
Natures rightful responsibility was ignored and overtaken by man.
Without natures help are we able to control our lives and health? My
simple answer is No.
Life on earth has always been a priority to me.
Man has left his footprints on the moon and we are in constant search
of other planets and other forms of life. If we do find what we are
looking for, and if someone happens to ask us one question and for one
truth, would we be able to give it to them? What are we looking for
and why? What is it that we still have not found on earth? My belief
is that life most likely does exist on some other planet, but not
without a fly.
You must forgive me, because although it is the 21st
century, I am still occupying myself with the simple fly. I do believe
that people and flies have certain things in common. Directly, or
indirectly in the past and in the present man has destroyed lives,
senselessly. The fly has two reasons for its destructions. Its
obvious that no matter where we go, we find some flies. Flies can
touch anything that we are able to touch with our fingers or our
tongues. If pungent odor were to be placed by our food we would be
repulsed, and so would a fly.
Directly or indirectly, flies have
harmed or destroyed some plants, the fruit and the trees they grew on,
especially the peach trees and its peaches. I have reached a
conclusion that there are herbs which possess a pungent odor. It is
this strong smell which helps to chase away the flies and save the
fruit trees, as well as the unripened fruit, from long suffering and
an early death. These harmless herbs can improve our health and save
many lives. God created herbs which will not destroy anyones life.
The best way to find peace, love and live a beautiful healthy life on
earth is to be close to one another and help each other. Plants, too,
can help each other and they will tell us one truth.
My belief is
that life without balance is similar to a tree whose roots are rotting
away. Balance is powered by the almighty, and not by evil. My hope and
prayers are that God will allow us to walk into his hands, and that he
will help us to understand the meaning of balance. It seems to be
somewhat misunderstood or lost. We must not allow the control of the
birds, other animals and human lives to be possessed by the flies, and
leave them with the question why?
Our earth is in desperate need of
help, respect and love. There is no time to be wasted. Natures powers
enable it to heal rapidly. Let us start planting dandelions, herbs and
anything green, and lets stop destroying what can enable us to have
food, fresh air and medicine. The time to start is now, otherwise, we
may witness a day when human tears water our soil.
When nature was
first created by God, it was given love and everything else to sustain
itself and life of man on earth. Time has come for us to find what was
given to us. Then we must use it and share it among ourselves. Gods
small creations had a big purpose in mind. Small things can tell us
what real love is.
When you read my writing, you might be curious
about who I am, so I will tell you a bit about myself. My early life
was simple and humble. I was born in Croatia on the island of KRK.
Its a beautiful island surrounded by the clear, blue Adriatic Sea. I
walked barefoot and wore mended clothes for most of my early years,
and I can still remember the taste of dry bread crumbs. I completed
four years of grammar school which were followed by three years of
apprenticing at the cabinetry school.
Nature was something I began to
love and admire at an early age. I spent most of my young days on my
parents farm where I was able to appreciate nature and observe its
abundant gifts to man. Although today I am a family man and living in
the suburbs of New York City, nature has remained my best friend who
heals my wounds. It is my basic interest in life, besides my family
and friends. I loved writing ever since I can remember and in 2004 I
was fortunate enough to publish my first book, Reflections:
Personalizing Life, Nature, Man and God.
My writing contains one
purpose, one hope and one wish. I would like to help someone,
somewhere, somehow. I hope other established writers, as well as those
who will be born with this great gift to write, will feed all our
children with their healthy words.
Children need to be taught how to
think and what to think. Writers, teachers, healers and parents, this
job is ours.
I wish to leave you with my words the same way the last
fallen rain left its raindrops hanging off the tips of the green
leaves, so that the wind would shake them down. May they both fall
where they must.
