Emptiness of the Mind?

Many years ago Jennifer and I had taken a trip over to Europe.  We took the Sound of Music tour that took us through Austria’s alps and through some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever witnessed till this day.  It was almost like traveling through a painting.

Alias, reality can kick in sometimes.  I appreciate all of the kind words and encouragement I received from yesterday’s post, and wanted to thank you all very much.  It definitely helped with a lot of the sorrow clinging on to a heart beaten soul.  So thank you once again.

I will be traveling up to Port Huron shortly to get the results of my nursing final and review it, to see what I did wrong.  There had been this section of an interview that I had remembered I saw on TV many years ago.  It is actually was by the late Bruce Lee.  He states “keep your mind as clear as the blue sky, and your worries and fears are conquered away.” Not a popular speech that he had made, just something I had remembered from a long time ago.

The validity of Bruce Lee’s views were of complexity that he made simplified.  Life is a mix of great conquers and losses I guess.  As upset and angry as I thought I’d be, I am not.  Usually I would have shook my fist to the sky and told the man upstairs, “Why is this happening to me?” “What did I do to deserve this Father?”

Well as I stated in yesterdays writing, you get a little older and you get a little wiser with time that steadfastly progresses.  So I have to try to keep that open mind and see the hill’s and valleys that face us all.

I guess keeping that emptiness of the mind is harder than we think, but as family, friends, colleagues, and so forth we can give each other that gracious lift when trying back to climb the peak to see what awaits us.

In closing for today, if you are in a valley of life and things are difficult; I hope that you can keep your mind free and see whats ahead.  Even though it is not planned, having that faith from power that is within will give us the strength to climb, and hopefully the grace to fall when we hit those pivotal times in the days ahead.

“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”   1 Peter 5:7
