Awakening Abundance: A Journey of Hope and Renewal

In the quiet solitude of a high hill, there stood a man. He had lost faith in the goodness of life and found himself standing at the edge, contemplating the unthinkable – ending his own life. As he stood there, ready to take that fatal leap, a soft voice caught his attention from behind, a voice broke through his thoughts. Surprised, he turned to find a small old fox watching him from a distance.

“Hello, human!” the fox called out, curiosity in its eyes. “What are you thinking, standing there at the edge? Are you, like others at this height, considering ending your life by jumping?”

The man was surprised again!! How could this creature understand his inner turmoil? Before he could respond, the fox continued, its voice gentle yet firm. “You humans possess abundance beyond measure,” the fox remarked. “Yet, you often succumb to feelings of inadequacy and despair. We, creatures of simpler means, marvel at your capabilities. We don’t have intricate brains like you, we don’t have your skillful fingers, we don’t have ability like yours to walk upright with two legs. Yet, we do not dwell in despair, but we embrace what we are given. We find joy in simplicity, contentment in our limitations. We do not lose faith and hope.”

As the man listened, a spark of realization ignited within him. The fox’s words resonated deep within his troubled soul.

The man’s eyes brimmed with tears as he absorbed the profound lesson unfolding before him. He took hesitant steps toward the talking fox, humbled by its wisdom.

“You humans have been blessed with abundance in every aspect,” the fox concluded, “abundance around and inside you, also tools that can be used to contribute to the world around you and to express gratitude to supreme, leading to a fulfilling life.” In that moment of clarity, he saw the richness of his life, the blessings he had overlooked in his despair.

With renewed hope and a heart full of regained confidence, the man stood straight once more. The fox watched, its eyes with satisfaction, knowing that it had planted a seed of wisdom in the human heart.

And as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the hilltop, the man walked away with a newfound appreciation for life’s abundance and the courage to face each day with hope and gratitude.
