"On a cold winter day, the window of a warm house knows both
the paradise inside and the hell outside. Any path knowing both
the angel and the devil is the path of wisdom."
Mehmet Murat ildan
Life experience brings depth into our understanding of both the people and culture around us. We can observe with our eyes, we can listen with our ears, and feel with our hands; but, until we internalize the challenge, we will not receive wisdom.
We limit ourselves if we walk the straight and narrow path with our heads permanently down. If we do not hear sound with our ears nor feel disharmony in the heart, we are existing in avoidance with false perceptions of the fullness of life.
Everyone has a cross to bear, and when we finally place the cross on the ground, we begin to integrate all aspects of the lesson. There is greater appreciation for warmth if we have experienced cold. Our life path is easier traveled if we are balanced through awareness attained through living on both sides of the fence.
