"This too shall soon pass" - the same image on either sides of the same coin. - Shirvington Hannays

When in the mist of a judged or labeled "bad, difficult, painful or challenging situation or experience", the phase "this too shall soon pass" can be one of the most comforting re-assurances you can receive, reflect on or embrace.

Especially if you allow yourself to acknowledge that, the statement has proven true countless times before. In reality, this statement is also true for those situations or periods in our lives that we may judge or label "good, easy going, painless, peaceful or without challenge."

If and when you embrace this statement fully or even partially, it could be said that, you have become awaken to a very simple but yet one of the most powerful Spiritual principles. A principle that has the potential to return your mind, body and soul to the state of wholeness.

The state you were a nano-second before your soul accepted the invitation from your parents and you were conceived. I am nowhere near being totally at peace with this statement, but I am humbled in the understanding of the principle, an understanding that could truly bring to my Human experience the peace that passeth Human understanding.

As I continue to daily acknowledge and embrace this awareness, I am strenghten to snap out of most states of depression, resentment, anger and the blame game faster when seemingly good and pleasant experiences fade away and "soon pass". - Shirvington Hannays

The road less Traveled. -- SMAHO

Being Human means being willing to daily face all of Life's experiences, knowing that you will continue to experience pain, hurt and emotional bruises in many different ways for as long as you are in this physical universe. Especially emotional bruises even after you have consciously or unconsciously CHOSEN to take the road less traveled to live your life. On the road where you will consciously make the CHOICE to always be authentic to the NOW moment. Always being naked with your TRUTHS, honest with your INTENTION and committed to your CHOICE.

However even as an enligthen person consciously seeking to be authentic in the moment with your every CHOICES, it may come as a surprise to you when you find yourself overcome by deep pain or hurt. Which can then easily give way as usual to anger or resentment toward yourself and the projected source of the pain or hurt. It is usually in these times that you will be called on to BE still and know that the peace that passes all human understanding is readily available to get you to YOUR next fullness in time, in the NOW.

For this understanding and knowledge I give thanks and I am truly THANKFUL. -- Shirvington Hannays

"It is all meant for your next moment in TIME - whether good and Bad" - Shirvington Hannays

"I have always been a firm believer that nothing happens to us by chance, but by the grand design layed out for our lives and at the appointed time or as it were 'the fullness of time'. What we do with these exeperiences shape our destiny and our journey or learning in this life. If we embrace life's experiences good and bad, we can shape our own character and prepare ourself for even greater challenges and ready ourself for even deeper enjoyment of life."  - Justin Hardy (Tue, Sep 2, 2008 at 3:28 PM)
