Always take an umbrella

In life there is the smooth sailing and then there is the tail spin. Do we recognize either state when we exist within them? Often, it seems as if the tail spin is more normal than than the smooth sailing. Is it purely the state of having patience with life which allows us to sail smooth through a time? Does loosing patience within cause life to spin out of control, therefore, heading to crash and burn?
We have all earned the right to a little good news each day. In reality, depending on our lives, there can be more pain not joy; increased confusion not peace. Much like the times we feel we are dressed to for a lovely day and then the wind sweeps across and causes a downpour.
There is power in being able to not take experiences in life too personal. The balance between knowing this is not destructive and knowing we have the right to stop the destruction is a hard place to be.
What is the challenge for avoiding the tail spin, is not contributing to the destruction of another person's world.
Having the protection to know we do not need to act towards creating discord, if we will only stand still and beg the moment to pass, may keep the plane of our lives from completely crashing.
Embrace the smooth sailing of a lovely life filled celebration of the day; but be prepared with the downpour of chaos by guiding the moment with the shield of a quiet soul.
