As we gathered to celebrate my dad’s life, a major storm swept into the area like a beast. Gale force winds knocked a limb down into a powerline, which hit the dry grass and started a fire at my best friend from junior high school’s property. She reached out to say they had no power or water, and were sweaty and muddy from cleaning their pond when the calamity struck.
She and her sweet husband took bird baths with bottled water, and were the first to arrive at our party. After a fine feast, and a couple of meaningful toasts, they learned their power returned. As we exited, they shared their health report, including that the six kinds of cancer they have been facing, are all in remission, no doubt having something to do with their persistent tenacity.
How persistent are you? Can you detach from calamity? Ki to Happiness appreciates tenacity.
