Peace, dear loved ones,
Life has its ups and downs, what's the constant? Life!
You are given good things as a test. You will grow to become complacent and unappreciative. Then *KABLAM*, reality knocks you down a peg or six.
Then you rebuild and rise from the ashes as a glorious phoenix.
Which then becomes complacent, egotistical, transgressing: it dives into the ocean and fizzles out.
Not to worry for then you grow into a fish that can swim the sea.
But you remember your history as a phoenix, don't you!
So how do you retain your wings of fire while you breathe underwater?
Appreciation. Remember your creator supreme in everything, that is samadhi.
Even as hell surrounds you from every angle, remember the creator who put you here. And in that will you find total security.
Fire, cool yourself. It is not time.
Peace
