Acceptance                         Death                         Idea of God

Clouds: I watch the clouds quite often now. It seems to bring some peace, some contentment. Clouds move at barely perceptible rates, like the minute hand on a watch. Isn’t contentment what it’s all about? Isn’t contentment how we thank God for his world, rather than cursing him for our world. Even contentment recognizing my own impending death. That’s a tough one, but Jesus, Buddha, Lao Tzu, Epicurus, and Epictetus recommended that outlook. Remember Chung Tzu’s story about celebrating his master’s death, not his life, as we are wont to do nowadays, but his death, the way of God.
