Waves of Doubt


Haibun submitted to dVerse

Seasonal storms of life occur, awakening waves of doubt within. Conscious thought is enlightened to recognize the present. 

Darkness may hover round, but there’s hope for new light to come. It may be a challenge now, but we’ll survive by remaining aware. 

Have faith in the gifts life brings. Embrace every experience and surf the waves without fear. It’s a new experience, there’s no reason to compare when you can enjoy what is. 

 

Waves of doubts that pass

Reminders to stay aware

Surf beyond compare

    Waves of doubt pass. Good point: ” there’s no reason to compare when you can enjoy what is. “

    Astrid, I love your perspective on life and faith! Rise above and ride the waves rather than crashing into the surf!! Well done.

      Always liberating to rise and ride, though crashes offer alternate enjoyment 😊

    I think we need those waves of doubt as much as we need faith.
