PROLOGUE
Scriptures tell us that God is all powerful, present everywhere and knows everything but where was his power, presence and knowledge when my beloved wife passed away? Why didn’t he do something different? That was my fate.
“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then, whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?” - Epicurus
“The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.” - Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion
“And in the end it is not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years.” - Abraham Lincoln
How can we avoid what the gods want to happen? -Caesar.
When beggars die there are no comets in the sky. The heavens only announce the deaths of princesses.-Calphurnia.
“Death lies on her, like an untimely frost Upon the sweetest flower of all the field.” -Romeo and Juliet.
“Seeing that death, a necessary end, Will come when it will come.”- Julius Caesar.
So My Pretty Lotus reached the end of the road which was her silent death.
So I am now living with that reserved wish, inner feelings and sincere wish that our divine relationship will continue as long as I am able to live. I dedicate the rest of my life to the many loving and fond memories that My Saroj has left behind for me to cherish, honour, celebrate and treasure.
I will not be able to address anyone else with that respect, honour and love that I was able to bestow on My Pretty Lotus. She lives on in my heart and I want to keep her there safely.
