Curiosity

 Problems are often viewed with fear and anger whenever our sanity level is low.  What would happen to these same problems if we found a spiritual way, an inner way, to fill up that sanity level?  The same problems might begin to be viewed with curiosity.  Curiosity might say, "Humm.  I wonder why this seems like a problem?  Why is it not an opportunity?  Or a way of seeing with different set of eyes?"  All this is a way to prepare us to widen our way of working with the situation.  We might come up with something quite creative for us.  Instead of a narrow view, we have a wide vista.  No doubt there are tragedies.  But meanwhile, many of the things that come into our heads or emotional life, are viewed quite narrowly.  I work on sanity early in the day to be in more fit spiritual condition to handle what comes up, real or imagined.
