Disturbance

 People tend to get upset when their life is “disturbed.”  They prefer sameness, no suffering, change or upheaval.  But think of soil into which you want to plant some seed or water to make it more fertile.  The earth needs to be disturbed, loosened, softened up and maybe even chopped at if it is too hard and crusty.  Poor suffering earth!  But then all this is so that the soil can begin to grow something new, something helpful to others.  The soil surrenders its tranquility to serve the needs of others.  So how about you who seek silence and stillness?  I rather would like to stay open to whatever this Great Power has in store for my growth and service to others.
