Thought for the Day #17

A very lovely friend sent this to me...

"There are always waves on the water, sometimes big, sometimes small, sometimes almost imperceptible. The water's waves are churned up by winds, which come and go and vary in direction and intensity, just as do the winds of stress and change in our lives, which stir up waves in our mind. It's possible to find shelter from much of the wind that agitates the mind. Whatever we might do to prevent them, the winds of life and of the mind will blow, do what we may. "

"You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf" (Kabat-Zinn 2004)
