#18 : Trouble
Life always gives you a little bit of trouble to deal with, along with all of the other blessings.
Provide for difficulties. Duality implies Trouble. Examine both sides of the equation. Solve problems with imagination. Resolve contradictions with insight. Peace comes from within.
Recognize Limitations. Be Loving. Share water from the Well. Do not yield to Oppression. Be decisive, and take action. Get rid of problem people.
Trouble is merely turbulence in the streams of Time.
The Image
Feel what is going on. Recognize the time for action. Be clear about your goals. Maintain emotional harmony.
