We need to abandon the idea that this world is the central point of the universe.
Do our idiosyncrasies and personal ideas represent things as they are, or as we are?
Have we harvested from our selves a richer, fuller fruit from a seed once barren and void, from a soil blanched with tears, but now fertile and ripe?
Can we now, after all those strife-ridden years which strove to tear us apart, look up to glory and solace, or are we still cast down by the weight of life’s mighty winds?
There is no need to be lonely wanderers, no need to search but never find, for the truth is already here. All you have to do is reach out and grasp it and make it your own.
So what if it’s easier said than done! Put ease in its proper place by doing it. Just who, after-all, is in control: You or ease?
So, what do you wish to pursue: The small gleam or the brightest star?
What we follow determines whether we become followers or leaders.
Open the door to your dank prison and let in the bright of sun and the smell of the winsome grass. Then go out where you can breathe the fresh air and be beside the beauteous flowers.
It seems to be an axiom of life that the best treasures are hidden and must be sought. Jesus said something similar when he said, “Seek and ye shall find.”
Perhaps, after years of searching for your treasure and not finding it, you have been looking in the wrong place. It’s not out there someplace, it’s in here. Often, however, we don’t know it’s within us until we travel long distances without us and dug in the wrong field.
