The sea is gentle
and unperturbed.
A drop of water
suddenly falls from the sky.
Plink!
Ripples generate...
The body of water
is disturbed.
That drop of water
raises the sea.
Ripples expand outward
and disappear.
Soon as if nothing happened
the sea is calm once again.
Author's Notes/Comments:
"There has never been, nor will there ever be, a life free from problems. It is not the presence of problems but how we tackle them that determines the quality of our lives." - Taro Gold from "Open Your Mind, Open Your Life."
In other words, don't let life's problems get you down. Life's problems shouldn't let you perceive your life as "Why do bad things always happen to me?" Like a drop of falling water (or the problem) disturbing your peace of mind, it's inevitable that you must face that problem if you want to deal with it. Once you've dealt with it, that experience with having dealt with that problem or finding the solution is with you wherever you go so that the next time something similar arises, you're prepared. You're "experienced." Moreover, if those similar problematic circumstaces happen to you again, once you've dealt with them yourself, you can once again acquire that peace of mind you had in the first place just like a body of water becoming calm once the expanding ripples settle down...
As always well written. It is a superb write. I could actually see the images.
Wonderful!
Thnak you for sharing a great vision.
