TRANSFORMATION Courage






Sometimes even to live is an act of courage ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca.

 My life in a variety of colours


Often times there are some folk who will keep looking as to whether the grass is "greener" on the other side. And that's ok...
Allow me to elaborate ~
My grass is seldom green, I have no appeal for the neighbours either, nor the manicured ones...
All in all I have a great positive spiritual life, and am happy with my lot...However, no one is free from pain and discomfort, and I also fit into that category...what is category?..Doctors say so...mmm
When one has been ill for as many years as I have seen, we arrive to the word not 'green', but rather 'courageous'...and this is how it goes....
Perhaps I'm not home for anyone.... No, I don't answer the phone.... nor answer the door...
The only comfort to find is lying in bed without a book, without a television,  and preferably in the dark...
Do I like it?...Oh no, not at all...but I'm so overwhelmingly tired...and I haven't even done anything to make it so...
Besides my comforts, my family and friends, including dog ~ I have 3 screens at home - a huge TV, a desktop, and a laptop...my "companions" for life. Well certainly at times when the chips are down...Often on a daily basis...
Is this really it?  Oh no ~ how boring, stifling, repetitive...
All so not me. All so not what I desire. Everything I never had TIME for in the past. No objectives to attain a goal...Only on a daily basis, as with meditation and spiritual aspiration...
The goal is PATIENCE and PEACE,
and be content with that.
