A place to land

taken from my fb account - was feeling inspired by the song by Dakota Moon, Looking for a place to land...

all of us are looking for a place to land - that security and stability and general feeling of safety ...
but with so many uncertainties and sudden changes, can we be blamed for feeling like we're nver going to be able to find solid ground to walk on?

but hang on for a moment, wait and feel the sun on your face and stop worrying that the earth is shifting beneath you. for we are saved by faith and not by reason, because where reason ends, faith begins...
and it's the only thing that allows us to accept that life, by its very nature is uncertain, and that place to land is inside us; where no matter how great the darkness, if we are lit by some internal brightness of spirit, that same lightness of heart, the dark shall not prevail.
it's inside us, the spark which calls and comforts us.

go on, make mistakes and mess up and try keep on trying -- predictability stifles, after awhile and most importantly, smile. when you feel that you can stare life in the face, that rock-hard certainty which blends with the worries and doubts from everyday doings and future dreams will become the very stuff of life.
life isn't bigger. you are.

True, it is not viable to search the place to land externally, instead it is embedded in our inner soul.

Muster up the courage to face every challenges, that aggregate strength to overcome plight and master the environment.

the courage is what keeps us going - that as well as hope, and how wonderful it is that every single day of our life in the challenges we face, we learn and come to grow both! :)

i keep falling, but i keep rising again.
