Cage of Fear

The key to happiness
Hangs in a locket
Around your neck
Next to your heart
Take out the key
Unlock the mystery
For all ages and eternity
For the whole world to see
From the beginning of time
Flying over the mountains
Sailing across the seas
You have this one life
You won the right to live
You won the right to love
The battle is already won
The treasure that awaits
Not just in heaven above
You have the courage
You can be the boss
Don’t let anyone deny
What is your inheritance
What are you waiting for
Unlock the cage of fear
Set free your spirit to love

right words Chris.Important topic for many of us here. Robert did find a good word for it "acceptance" . as soon as we accept the life as it is, we start to be happy, always easy to say and hard to do. Lily

Very true Rob....... I am often inspired by famous people and quotes....this one is a beauty......Thich Nhat Hanh taught, “Peace is present right here and now, in ourselves and in everything.”

Lily...... I agree..... There is only so much that anyone of us can do......such is the world full of pits and falls and many tiny imperfections both within us and outside of our control.....almost an impossibility to be on guard at all times.....yet peace is an ever present.....force that surrounds us.....

Happiness can always be found somewhere, usually as you said, it starts within us.

Sorry Chris - to early in the morning - I see I did a lot of repeating. Go out into the world and share His love and the answer to the mystery everyone.

Yaspark, I pray for such things everyday. A key is just like a prayer that unlocks what is hidden behind a closed door. The miracle of faith is such a key.
