THOUGHT FOR MARCH

And it was but yesterday that an angel said to me "We created hell for those who glitter. What else but fire can erase a shining surface and melt a thing to its core?"
And I said: 'But in creating hell you created devils to govern hell.'
"Nay hell is governed by those who do not yield to the fire.'
Kahlil Gibran from "The Garden of The Prophet".
When we choose to yield, it is a conscious action which releases us from the endless fight against that which is.
To yield, rather than surrender or submit; is an honourable, dignified, graceful and humble act which serves to free us rather than to conquer us.
In yielding, we are able to move forward freed from the burden of engaging with the battle.
