A day may begin with clouds yet the sun chases them away. I have been seeing the messages in some of the Old Tales like "The Ugly Duckling", The Thousand and One Nights", "De Profondis", Eichman and the Holocaust and even Dracula. Humanity seems to continually struggle and war with the darkness within and around us all. We want to blossom like the ugly duckling and find that inner beauty within our soul. We want life to be more than survival but to have meaning and purpose. Dracula shows us the risk of the loss of our humanity and Eichman could not face reality but believed he would find sympathy as he saw himself as a victim "everything was under an evil spell and fate prevented his good efforts". In "Lady Chatterly" we see the beauty of love and affection and the power of the earth to redeem a life and give us hope.
I have failed to see the inspiration of some of these tales, especially when the extreme despair of abandonment and rejection seem to reach out and grip my soul.
It is like reading the Bible where we see the worst possible evil often done by so called good people in the name of God. Yes, we are called to fight evil and deceit as we find our own path through life. We cannot change the past but we must face the future with courage and the awareness of the good in the world.
We are faced with the question of how much sorrow and grief has been created by man's ideas of God. The Beatles sang "there will be an answer, let it be" and somewhere and at sometime the answer comes to each one of us. Keeping love in my heart sometimes calls for me to reach out to the unlovable and find hope in a new day.
I have found the book "Inspiration" difficult in some ways to read even as i have found the Bible offensive. The message comes in the many stories we hear and we read in our lifetime.
Today I am off to face the dentist and will be faced with some decisions. I feel a sense of guilt because I have lost so many teeth and even now it will be so costly to replace even one. In the past the dentist just pulled your teeth and their was not the emphasis on saving them as there is today.
Maybe a message of salvation is good news!

Yes l thought some of the chosen pieces looked unusual as "inspirational" writing. But these are his choices . l am sure you could compile your own collection some might be the same and others very different.Hope your visit to the dentist proved easier than expected. At least it is over. See you when we get back from the Cariboo. Love, Jane
