Hi friends, family and fellows. Today I bring you words from the old man of Capua.
Once upon a time, at the coolness of the day, two boys came to him, one of them holding a live bird enclosed in his right hand. “Tell me dear Sir” the mischievous boy began. “Is this bird dead or alive?”. The old man looked at him slowly and finally answerd: ” My dear boy, you hold the power of life and death in your hand. If I tell you that the bird is alive, you will crush it to death and if I tell you that it is dead, you will open your hand and let it fly away. So my son, you hold the power of life and death in your hand. To that boy/girl, man or woman who may be at a crossroad right now. Indeed you hold the power of life and death in your hand. The clouds may be too thick to see through. The mountains may be high to climb. But listen to your heart. God still speaks to people within. Don’t be like the mischievous boy. Trust not in the strength of your fist. Listen to your Heart!
A profound post and certainly, thought-provoking. It is one that will stay with me. Thank you for sharing.
