I am presently trying to assist the painter
in painting our house
I am at present reminded of the time at
school when the pencil/pen would simply drop from my hand. I remember while
doing exams that I was incapable of picking up the pencil/pen; I of course was
simply physically incapable of finishing exams way back then.
The moral to the story is, accomplishing
anything physical for me is a huge accomplishment, especially these days. You
simply cannot tell a book by it's cover when the cover is only a preview of
what really is within the book itself.
The cover shows I don't take painkillers,
this means in accordance to our own book I am not in trauma, certainly not as
in as much trauma as people who do take painkillers. I also try to do things
without complaint. The cover simply does not tell the whole story or even one
part of the story, the cover is what it is, a cover for the story, nothing
more.
Does a crippled up body from an accident or
a stroke tell the true story of a person?
You simply cannot tell a book by it's cover
but many people do, in actuality, a lot of people mistakenly read the cover and
perceive that they have now read the book.
Life as whole is like this. The cover shows
all we are is of physicality when the book itself tells us so much more, but
only if we are willing to desist in perceiving what the cover tells us what the
story as a whole is all about..........
I have had a chronic injury since I was six
(6) years old. Because of my awareness and connectedness to the book itself
instead of the physical cover of the book, I was able to do things in life that
I was suppose to be physically incapable of doing. There is simply so much more
to the book than it's cover. The cover is limiting, the book itself isn't.
On face value there is a message in what is
written here, however, deeper down there is another message, one is of the
cover, the other of the book itself. We can either perceive awareness by it's
cover or be of awareness by reading the book itself, preferably before we
perceive what the book is all about in accordance with it's cover.
Yes, the cover tells one story, the book
another, which one do we really want to live life by!!
