Of late,

I've been toying around

with the cyclical nature

of Life.

It started with this verse

in the Bible.

"All the rivers

run into the sea,

but yet the sea

is not full"

Ecclesiastes Chapter 1 Verse 7

We can have all the sources

of happiness in our lives,

spiritual happiness,

physical happiness,

emotional happiness,

material happiness,

sexual happiness.

But our lives can never

be totally fulfilled.

We only think

it is full.

As sure as the sea

evaporates,

so will our

perception of fulfillment.

Perception maybe

our immedidate reality.

But comes the morning sun

reality persists.

We just have to learn

to live with it.

Don't cry,

when the sun goes down,

because the moon

is made of gold.

When you learn

to take life

with equanimity.

"Vanity of vanities,

all is vanity"

Ecclesiastes Chapter 1 Verse 1

We only think

we know it all.

We only think

we have the answers.

But I've long accepted,

the more I know,

the more I don't know.

"He that increases knowledge,

increases sorrow"

Ecclesiastes Chaper 1 Verse 18

And if I may add,

without being offensive,

"There is no new thing

under the sun"

Ecclesiastes Chapter 1 Verse 9
