There's still no explanation to the divine coincidences that awoken the typhoons that wiped out the Mongols twice as they approached the tiny island of Japan with the intention to invade and defeat. Well, I guess an explanation, probably as good as any is, well, coincidence, or the meteorologists of today perhaps could have warned Kublai Khan of his ill fated quest, but for the sake of captivating and intriguing history let's assume it really was divine.
So why did Japan attempt to relive these divine experience through artificial "divine winds"? I would say it was doomed to fail from the start no matter how successful it seemed initially. I'm talking about the kamikaze bombers during the world war II. I wonder if I would have thought it really divine if it hadn't failed, but then, did japan really plan on winning the war that way or simply on stalling the inevitable? The Kamikaze's did major damage on U.S. ships by the way. I digress. Here's where I was going with my talk on the divine wind...
I think we all do this at some point in time. We forget we refer to certain situations as divine and instead crank up our will power, rev up our agidi, otherwise known as strong head (necessary to succeed), and get down and dirty. After several foolproof attempts fail and only succeed at creating conundrums, we then go back to the drawing board, regurgitate our ideas and rechew, yes, ruminate.
I returned to school on Monday, and gosh, how different it is to be back in the middle of a semester, seeing new faces and finding the curriculum and books have changed. So, as the week comes to an end, I, and hopefully you, will take a step back and look at those things we have given God credit for that we are now trying to replicate on our own. Let's make next week a lil' easier shall we?
