A weekend learning...

Greetings to you this Monday Morning !!
Last weekend and a couple of days before that was a "flying" time for me. In about 84 hours, I tavelled over 5000 miles through 4 states and 6 cities across the country. Obviously most of the travel was by air and I took 5 flights in 3 days on the tour. Most of the flights were very smooth. We flew in clear skies with hardly any disturbance. On the last leg of the journey though, we encountered some rough weather before landing. The cloud cover was quite thick, and as the pilot warned of some disturbance, I must admit that I felt a little scared. Flying at 800 kms per hour, with outside temperatures of -30 degree Celsius (as the pilot had earlier announced), the sight outside was not at all comforting. I saw a large, cold expanse of grey emptiness below as we began our descent. There was nothing I could do except put all my trust in the pilot and those manning the air traffic control station at the airport. I had a few uncomfortable moments, as the plane seemed to bump about before we finally descended through the cloud cover. I was relieved to see the ground below and was quite in awe of the pilot's skill and the way he seemed to have calmly handled the situation (Maybe it was quite common for him). I was happy to have both feet on solid ground.
On similar lines I think that as we go through life, we would come across situations where in we know that we cannot do much to change the given circumstances. Just as I put my trust into the pilot and his skills, we need to turn to someone, as we ourselves are helpless. As we go through bumpy dark patches, we have to hope for the light at the end of the tunnel. When we can't do much, probably the best recourse is to look heavenwards and to seek guidance from the creator of the universe. As we put our entire faith in him, we will probably find out that in most cases he would guide us out from the dark cloudy times into clear skies and then onto firm ground.
Have a great week!
