thoughts on a stormy day
i was awaken by the howling of the winds and the rage of the rain at dawn. today was to be a stay-in day, a perfect time to read that murakami book i have been craving to finish. with this kind of weather, i can easily be deep in thought and i welcome even the weirdest ideas thrown at me by this author whom i have grown to be fond of.people
although i can be a loner and a big time believer in me time, i know in my heart that we need people in our lives. in fact i think that the statement everyone is looking for something from someone is true. it is just the same as saying that we meet people for a reason, that people stay in our lives because it's either they are our mission or that we are their mission.
fear
they tell us that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself but i don't believe that. what i belive is that we are beyond our fears, that we can conquer our fears. there has never been a more perfect explanation to this than the acknowledgment that fear is there. it comes to us in many different forms, at different times, and overwhelm us. but the most frightening and perhaps the biggest mistake we can do at such times is to turn our backs on it, to close our eyes. because then we take the most precious thing inside us and surrender it to something else.
chance
thanks to cile, i read cainer but that's about it as far as astrology and me is concerned. i don't want to leave anything to chance but maybe chance is a pretty common thing after all. coincidences are happening all around us, all the time, but most of them don't catch our attention and we just let them go by. it's like fireworks in the daytime. you might hear a faint sound, but even if you look up the sky you can't see a thing. but if we're really hoping something may come true, it may become visible, like a message rising to the surface. then we're able to make it out clearly, decipher what it means.
it took one stormy day for me to delve deeper in my thoughts about people, fear and chance. nature and its wonders ... ;)
