When the student said her practice
was not going
well, the teacher
said, “It will pass.”
and when she returned to report
success, the Zen
teacher said, ” It
will pass.” These three
words, “It will pass”, are a strong cane
to help us walk
life’s uneven path
with steadiness.

The right words are reassuring, healing, and often thought-provoking. And, yes, also like “a strong cane,” – a source of comfort, hope, and emotional support. Thanks Joan!
