In this, 21st century, I
believe that a woman will make great, giant contributions, or steps. Our
powerful, wounded nature, our freedom, and our health, have for too long
been asking us, as well as telling us, some unanswered questions, “Why, and
why not? A power, which can make a successful step against MOTHER NATURE’S
power, earth’s soil, women and sun, doesn’t exist, and it hasn’t been born
yet. This power, earth’s soil, women and sun, is embodied into one body, and
it is an inseparable piece, and no matter how it is positioned, or turned,
physically or mathematically, it is a piece which holds together all life.
It is this power which cannot be separated, or torn apart, unless life on
earth is destroyed. This is nothing more, or less, than nature’s power and
truth. Whenever I look at the sun, earth’s soil and the old, hard, drying
tree branch, I see an image of a woman’s power behind that branch, as a new,
strong and powerful spruce that is growing quickly and taking the power away
from the old branch. It is, however, a spruce that is inseparable from its
old branch. I can sense nature’s worldwide awakening, and it is asking us
many simple, unanswered questions, “Why couldn’t the uneducated help the
educated, and why couldn’t the poor help the rich?” These are some of the
questions lying behind the 21st century’s back door.
Yes, there are many
unanswered questions, and the newly-made history is standing behind the
unlocked back doors of the 21st century, and, there is no one who can say
that our century’s front door is shut. The powerful spruce behind the old,
drying branch is overtaking the power and growing quickly. I do believe that
it won’t be too long before a woman steps in over the back doorstep of the
21st century. However, I also believe that this task of pushing the heavy
front door wide open, to allow the good things to come through, will not be
an easy one, because 21st century was turned into one season, SPRING, a
season which leaped over the other two seasons, and stepped on the cold
doorsteps of winter _ the harsh, long winter! It’s a season that will bloom
and blossom, but its truth will not be tasteful. This truth, in comparison
to all others, is, I believe, one of the most significant and potent one of
all. Many maternal trees will not be able to retain their fruits. As a
result, many parents and tender children will cry and suffer.
Humanity is not fully aware
and doesn’t quite grasp how essential NATURE is, and how deep down we have
dug ourselves, underneath its power. To tell you that we should be “close”
to nature is “too far” and an underestimated statement. I believe that
before anything “better” can take place, the worst will happen, first. 21st
century’s dreams will begin to turn into reality. If we wish to continue
living, and live healthy lives, we must all think about, and examine, what
our vital and essential needs are by which we can obtain healthy life. I can
only speak for myself and my children and grandchildren, when I state that
as a family, we do not possess, or have, what we desperately need in order
to have health and freedom. If I didn’t have a strong belief in God and in
the powers of His mother nature, I would tend to say that my hopes of
looking ahead at a two way road and raising any questions that would relate
to life, would diminish and cease.
In my eyes, and in my heart,
America always walked first on line, and although it wasn’t perfect, it
always was better than perfect. America was, and is, good, and whenever I
write about life, I find it impossible to pass by America and not to give it
a greeting. I believe, we, as human beings, are quite fallible, and this is
visible in the steps that we, as Americans, and we, as the world, have taken
over nature’s power, nature, human freedom, and our health. Although many
research studies show significant, positive results in various fields, I
believe that the study of nature and our grave steps will not be as
revealing or successful. Only time will tell. Perhaps I am wrong, I really
don’t know. I often find myself wondering what could’ve and would’ve taken
place in our world, if America didn’t exist. I only know that NATURE avoids,
or runs away, from bad things, and it searches for a better existence. It
swims, flies, crawls and walks, to find a better life for itself. In
America, it is possible to find all different, beautiful colors of roses and
other various flowers, women, children and men, from all over the world. I
wonder and ask myself, “Why in America?” and “Why?”
As I continuously observe and
study, the strong spruce continues to grow and it takes the power from the
old, drying dormant branch of the tree. It is the power of nature _ its last
step of survival. It is nature’s power over the power of man, embodied in
one body, an inseparable piece. It is my strong belief that 21st century
will see a powerful woman lead America, and women throughout the world will
make remarkable steps in history that will be accepted by the earth’s soil
and the powerful, healthy sun.
21st century’s front door is not shut. I ask you, Almighty God, to please
give us the time and the might, so that we may push the door of this century
wide open and reverse the bad things, in order to let some good things enter
through our door. I believe women’s new achievements and steps that will be
taken in history, this 21st century, will begin to grow and advance. It will
be the kind of history which will walk through some of the other centuries’
front and back doors.
I view the 21st century as a
rich season for some of the writers, and for others, it will be a sad and
monotonous truth. The borders of the upcoming centuries are wide open and
its doorlocks unlocked. It is apparent to me that the further I go and look,
the easier I am able to breathe.
I often visit my
children and grandchildren and whenever I do, as I am leaving I hear my
grandchildren asking me, “Grandpa, when will you be back?” I can tell you,
that for so many reasons, it is at that moment that I find tears rolling
down my face. My answer is always the same to my grandchildren, as it is to
all of the children of the world, “I’ll be back without losing any time. I
will continue to write, and, hopefully, I will plant my dormant seeds. I
will continue to fly as far as my mind can see. The borders of the centuries
to come are open and its doorlocks are unlocked. I will continue to fly back
and forth, land and plant. I will write.” I must tell you, my children and
friends of the world, that, which you might not be expecting to hear. There
hasn’t been a writer yet born, who could find or reveal a bigger surprise,
than the one which we can find in our rich and beautiful earth’s soil. This
surprise is simply the LOVE and the RESPECT, the inseparable love. There is
such an abundant richness for us, writers, to write about, and there is so
much to leave to this world, so that it can have what is presently lacking.
In the meantime, may I ask, that you do not lose any time. Pray to God, and
love, as well as respect, his MOTHER NATURE.

Book Description
Almost every book that is written consists of one or more themes. Some
books give advice, some recount events, true or imagined, some raise
questions or inspire, while some are written to entertain. Other books
are written to bring about change. "Reflections: Personalizing Life,
Nature, Man and God" was written to do just that – to bring about change
in the largest sense of the word.
Radenko Fanuka relies on several themes throughout his book, but keeps
returning to the simpler things in life, such as nature, family,
humanity, and God. It is the simple things that seem to shape and mold
our lives.
Despite all of this, the author still feels the need to ask many
questions about why certain things in life are the way they are. Many of
these questions are left unanswered in order to allow the reader to
consider, self-reflect and soul search. More questions are raised than
answered, and this book is not intended for those who want simple
answers to life’s complicated problems. Radenko Fanuka has written this
book for the purpose of leading readers to think and reflect on the many
diverse topics touched upon in the volume.
Book Review:
In a collection of essays that depict one man's philosophies on life,
nature and his god, there are some simple truths that will apply to
everyone who reads them. "Reflections: Personalizing Life, Nature Man
and God," is an interesting book that reaches out to us all in effort to
relay the lessons that author Radenko Fanuka has learned throughout his
very interesting and full life.
Some of the essays left me a bit puzzled as to their point and meaning,
while others were quite clear and concise and well understood. In
particular, "How Could She Survive?" touched me deeply and demonstrated
how simply one could live life and be quite happy in it, for it was
about an elderly lady who loved her animals and lived off the land,
alone and content. Another story that was touching was about another
woman who endured being alone for her husband had gone off to America to
earn a living. When he returned, he shunned her, not even knowing the
person she had become due to her years of hard living.
Whether portraying a difficult life, or sharing a lesson learned at the
side of his mother, the author has answered the call to write out his
thoughts and ideals. With respect to his beliefs and hope for the world,
he has put together a collection that will surely touch the lives and
minds of many readers.
