Without Struggle

When I am facing challenges in my life that are particularly difficult or not going very well, it's easy to get lost in a forrest of frustration, anxiety and discouragement. This is the nature of being deluded, I suppose. But then there is a line that can pull me back, that came from a sitting when I was younger.

Though the wind, rain and clouds may come,
no where does the sun fail to shine,
In his great Universe.

And when I think on those words, I remember that what ever struggle that I am facing, there is something beyond it that is "not-struggle." There is a clarity free of fear, anger, frustration and delusion." But the reality is that I have to step into that place and moment, so that I can be free.
