It Just Is

Life is always....full of surprises and interesting ~ Especially when we allow things to flow and not be so busy passing judgment.  At times we "clog up"..things..with all that judgment and life can become more ..... complicated.

Do you suppose there is truly no good or bad and there ..." just is"???  Allowing that ugly thing called judgment to slide away !

Hmmm.... Here is something to ponder over the weekend, it is an old Zen story ~



We'll See...

There is a Taoist story of an old farmer who had worked his crops for many years. One day his horse ran away. Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit.

"Such bad luck," they said sympathetically.

"We'll see,"the farmer replied.

The next morning the horse returned, bringing with it three other wild horses.

"How wonderful," the neighbors exclaimed.

"We'll see,"replied the old man.

The following day, his son tried to ride one of the untamed horses, was thrown, and broke his leg. The neighbors again came to offer their sympathy on his misfortune.

"We'll see,"answered the farmer.

The day after, military officials came to the village to draft young men into the army. Seeing that the son's leg was broken, they passed him by. The neighbors congratulated the farmer on how well things had turned out.

"We'll see"said the farmer.

Happy Pondering ~~~
