The Weighing

Life is like a river and it has two banks: joys and sorrows, tears and laughter, ups and downs, light and darkness. I have gone through many ups and downs in my life. When I was going down I tried to resist the flow of pain and suffering. It did not work. In fact, denial of the darkness that I was going through made the darkness thicker and heavier. As I accepted the truth of the reality my heart became lighter and softer. I started seeing the rays of joy and delight in my life. A new day dawned in my life and I welcomed it joyfully and gratefully. Namaste! Jagdish P Dave
