Things more sublime
We were walking back from the school bus-stop after picking up Arunav. On the pavement was a small dead bird - it was looking really beautiful - parrot green colour had still not faded. Since we were face to face with it, the best I could think of was tell Arunav to pray for the dead bird. Arunav asked,"If I pray will it be alive again?" I said," No."
His next question was,"Then if I pray what will become better?" (he could not have put the question better!)
Since 'soul' and 'heaven' are concepts I have not really breached with him yet, the next few moments were tough for me.
