THE CUP OF WISDOM

 THE WISDOM OF  THE CUP

If you are like me then you have spent many moments  of your life drinking from your cup and talking about the different events of your daily life. Then when time permitted refilling your cup and  seeing it empty again with no sustaining answers to your life questions. I am sure you have heard a few stories about the cup of life, many of us heard it in church you know "my cup run-ith over" or that question, is the cup half empty or half full and so on. But what does all that really mean? That was my question and I am sure some of you wonder it as well now as I did in years past.

I will show you the basic wisdom of the cup. Once known the wisdom of the cup will  inspire you,  and lift your spirits.

I wanted to start the story of the wisdom of the cup with the history of the first cup made and used.  Although there are early findings. I found that it is unknown when the first cup came into use. So allow me to give it's earliest beginning my best effort.

                    The Short Version

One day many years ago (laugh) shortly after a heavy rain had stopped, a young hunter was continuing his hunt for food, bumping into a broad leaf tree who's leaves were holding water at the base from the heavy rain fall, a cup if you will made by nature. May be one of the first cups.  After being slowed down by the heavy rain and night approaching he decided to climb to the top of the tree for a better look to search for prey and the higher he climbed the more leaves he saw were holding water at their base. I said that to say the first cup most likely came before any tool was made  and before clay was used. What do you think?One thing is for sure we are much better off for the cup. Now I here you saying, what does all of this have to do with the WISDOM OF THE CUP.   Are may be you like this version. After many a men who drink from the rivers by putting their faces  close to the river in order to get a drink were being eaten, there came a ah ha moment and someone decided to try a quick dip of the hand with closed finger then brought quickly to the mouth was much more to their liking. I liked that one.

                    The Basic Wisdom of The Cup

As the history of the cup starts with it's basic beginnings in nature. The Wisdom of The Cup is about our basic nature, our natural wisdom. The cup is always full, (your cup is always full of all that is need) naturally. When the cup has no tea, no coffee, no hot chocolate, no wine in it, it is full. You say the cup has nothing in side, it is empty. If you look at the first two words of the last sentence (you say), you could say that, but even saying it's empty only makes it empty to you. If you say it is full then a doorway opens and on the other side of that door is the cup and it is filled with endless possibilities. We are like that cup we are filled with endless possibilities always and naturally. All the things we have in our lives today and all the things that was once in our lives are and was in that cup. We can see now the cup is filled with many things. What is in your cup?

I wish you peace, great health and a long life.
