Pain

As Longfellow said – “Into each life a little rain must fall.”  Yes, we all, no matter our economic, social or spiritual status,  experience it – pain.  Or as Buddha teaches, suffering. 

Rain (or pain) falls upon us…sometimes as a sprinkle, sometimes as a downpour.  Sometimes we are responsible, and sometimes nature just has her way with us.  We can not outrun it.  And perhaps, neither should we try.

For it is after the rain, after the pain, that we can see the sunshine again.  That we can open our eyes to a new vision…a new thought…a more cleansed version of ourselves.

Get your feet wet.  Don’t worry, they will dry. – BB
