“It is clear to me as daylight
that life and death are but phases
of the same thing, the reverse
and obverse of the same coin.”
Mahatma Gandhi
At the beginning of the week, there was plenty of time, a time to relax read and reflect. But day by day things happen, friends need rides, phone calls and home visits, things to write and plan. Be busy is okay when the week is so rainy and cold like this one. Being busy keeps the dark shadows away, at least for awhile. Hopefully soon we can get sun, warmth and spring when everything seems more alive.
I received a Gandhi picture quote today that touches on my experience of living in winter and spring the same time. It is “It is clear to me as daylight that life and death are but phases of the same thing, the reverse and obverse of the same coin.” (M.K. Gandhi, Mahatma, Vol. 3, p. 4) We need to live with life and death, light and darkness, cold and hot, being treated with respect or disrespect.
Simply said finding God and peace in life is seeing and hearing both sides of the coin.
