"Wind stirs the bamboo,
But once the wind passes,
The bamboo is silent.
Geese land in the chill pond,
But once the geese fly away,
There are no reflections.
In the same way,
Once the red dust passes,
The mind is still."
No doubt some might look at this and say it seems all too easy. I think God and His universe have a way of forcing rest upon us when we need it. I know I have succumbed to that many times, and I feel I have finally started learning to understand it, so that I can be more effective in my actions. I am grateful for the progress I have made, which gives me confidence to take on greater challenges. I am determined to be ready.
