Enjoying a Good Book

The book is titled Second Innocence by John Izzo.
A good read maybe because it put into words certain thoughts of mine. It talks about how as we grown older we lose our innocence with life and tend to view it with cynicism. It talks about how we should go back to our childhood innocence hence second innocence. But the point to take is that we need to be more CHILDLIKE and not more CHILDISH. To think that the world is all good and pure and that life only goes by certain rules is childish. To be childlike, we use our grain and understand that the WORLD is made up of all kinds and we need to recognize and take certain path but at the same time have faith after all that we had done our best, it will be ok.

In the section on rediscovering wonder in the daily journey, he tells us that life is mainly rowing the boat and the final goal is but a short duration. We work hard and state our goals but we sometimes had our goals all wrong. We maybe able to plan but God decide and we need to make DETOUR. Lastly, when things get bad, don’t give up.
For those still working, he has a section on rediscovering the joy of work. Similarly he spend 2 chapters on relationship and 3 on faith
I am now in the middle of the section on faith.
It is a beautiful read. Nothing very heavy but something to keep us thinking.
