No one lives life perfectly. No one is at peace or serene
constantly. No one is energized or at their best every minute. Just as
the tides rise and fall so does our energy levels, our peace and
serenity. Everyone has their moments; the question is what we do when we
have them. Consider: everyone stubs their toe, even the Pope. Granted he probably
doesn’t utter an expletive (and if he did it would probably be in Latin and
everything sounds cool in Latin) when it happens, the point being
that everyone stubs their toe, having nothing to do with our spiritual
condition. Now if we blame someone for putting or moving the table
there or start in ranting on the unfairness of the universe for bringing this
calamity or better yet think that for some reason we deserved to stub
our toe and the pain is the universe's way of reminding us of our place,
it then becomes a spiritual matter. If we are constantly looking for tea
leaves to read, we will always find them and amazingly the news is
routinely bad, the forecast dark with more dark and a chance of
scattered pain later in the week. In truth,
usually a cloudy day is just a cloudy day, nothing more.
Everyone takes a turn in the barrel, you, me, the Pope, Dalai
Lama, everyone. Living on the Spiritual Basis though we keep our eye on
the ball, God, and by doing the work He would have us do, we meet
calamity with serenity, with the occasional expletive, for God knows
stubbed toes hurt.
