It may be a good time to write this book cos’ we are in the shadow of
Covid-19 in the whole world, but while I am completing book 5 and ready to
release, vaccines brings us a small light beam....a little hope, at least.
To recap some of the sceneries while the early explosion of the
pandemic, some people thought it’s only a matter of life & death, so they
just don’t care and reject any protection act but “Freedom of their own” not others
who also has “Freedom to survive, being free from affection by others.”
Not until the reality force everybody on earth to face it’s cruelty, we’ve
already lost millions & millions of life, thousands & thousands of
families became fragments.
Sometimes, I was thinking, isn’t it a similar scenario to our religious
belief?
In Paris, there are numerous église = cathedral/ church, some were built
centuries before (like the one above was found around 7th Century), a truly historical monument. They are breathtaking especially
when you’ve entered, to experience the atmosphere of its’ holiness, remember Sacré-Cœur in
Montmartre? Or église St-Eustache near Forum des Halles? Although there were mass held every week or even daily, a place for the faithful hearts, in fact, Catholic or Christian who
still attending regular mass or Sundry services are rare nowadays in this
country, why?

I was quite surprised when I knew it, meaning the flourishing of église
doesn’t reflect the flourish of spiritual lives.
Would the Bohemia life style
can bring us some hints? a life style that attracts me, too; or, if we really
living in this way, when facing the question of life & death again one day,
not only on earth but above, could we be “vaccinated”?
...I’m afraid the answer
is no!
