Has the sun stopped shinning for you?
Here is something to think about the next time you feel really hurt, angry, or really, really upset, check and see if the sky is any less blue, the sun any less radiant, the birds have stopped singing, or the flowers have lost their scent.
I'll bet you'll find that life has gone on much as before. Other people who have been violated, shaken, and humbled, and are struggling to make sense of what has happened to them still get up in the morning, ready to face the day. The sun still rises too early in the summer and too late in winter, the storm clouds still gather but break when the wind blows them away so the sun can come out.
The birds still sing to woo a mate or defend their territory. They don’t know, or care about what has just happened to us. We may have friends and family who to whom we can turn to vent and they will listen, indicate that we are right to have the feelings we have. Then they will move on to face their problems, their fears, and their life challenges.
But for those who don’t know us or our situation, life will go on for them, as they battle to move forward. The sun will not stop shinning because we are upset, angry or hurt. The birds will not stop singing, although we may not hear them as we did ourselves into a deep hole of despair. We have a choice, dig our hole and stay sheltered and alone, or face the day, acknowledge the sun, listen to the birds and move to deal with our problem, without the anger, hurt, or upset. We need to realise that life for everyone is consumed by the powers of now and the inevitability of love, understanding, and eternal life, and once we realise that we need not miss a beat as we accept and move on with life.
