Turning Point

Turning Point

Life is a journey and therefore 有晴有風也有雨.

Sometime there may be obstacles, failure, let-down, or 一番風雨,
一番狼籍, but there are always turning points, mystery, magic, or
heart-stirring moments. The turning points offer hope and new
opportunities.

The ancient poets said it all:

When you are having hardship, you begin
衣帶漸寬終不悔,為伊消得人憔悴.

Or when you drop down to the bottom of your life, you feel
欄桿拍遍,無人會, or 易水蕭蕭西風冷,兩處茫茫皆不見, or even
前不見古人,後不見來者,念天地之悠悠,獨愴然而淚下!

But there are always turning points:

舟行若窮, 忽又無際. or

山重水復疑無路,柳暗花明又一村。

Then you would 我見青山多嫵媚, or notice

眾裡尋他千百度。驀然回首,那人卻在,燈火闌珊處。 

Yeh Tze

  1. I feel that way. We work on something and there is always a solution, at least partially. Thx and Happy New Year.

  2. Jesus said: " The last will be the first, your slave will be......." "Knock, the door will be opened, ask and you will be given. If you ask for a piece of bread, you won't be given a serpent." Pl correct. I studied it thirty some years ago.
