At this point in time, when I am at the prime of my years- and my parents are in their advance ages, I just have this lingering fear of things : aging parents, losing them. It starts from a faint whisper- and it roars loud within, especially when there is so much talks about this topic.

Now more than ever, I fear of losing my parents: one of the greatest fears I have since I was a small girl. Over the years, my fears have dropped one by one. I realized that most of the things I fear are non-sense. One by one, I have shed them- but not this.

Yesterday my brother and I had a conversation somewhere along the lines of this topic. And it always is hard for me to be neutral. So for hours up to now, I have been nursing this fear, and sadness. Conversations like that seem to awaken a sleeping, afraid child within.

But then, I am not the only one. I take courage in the fact that my fear is a universal fear, and I need not drive it away.

What Emotions are You Nursing Lately?

So that is why I am nursing these emotions. It is okay- to feel afraid. To feel sad. It is okay if I do not know yet how to deal with this fear.

What emotions are you nursing lately? Are they so big that you don’t know how to deal with them? If there is one thing I am sure of, it is that life cycles everyday. It cannot rain forever. Even the sun has to set each day.

This reminds me of this beautiful verse from the Tao, as shared by Dr. Wayne Dyer in his book Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life.

23rd Verse ( part)

To talk little is natural:
Fierce winds do not blow all morning;
a downpour of rain does not last all day.
Who does this? Heaven and earth.
But these are exaggerated, forced effects,
and that is why they cannot be sustained.
If heaven and earth cannot sustain a forced action,
how much less is man able to do?

the tao, part of 23rd verse

So my emotions, whether joy, fear or sadness, I care for them while they are here- for tomorrow or the next day, they will be gone. Then I can say, I live for today. Today is in front of me. What I fear is not real, not today.

And as sure as the sun rises, sadness will come to my days. But it will not last.. because the beauty of life is that we endure. We ride. We live the cycles. The cycles of life.
