It’s Like Being Trapped under Water
A man sentenced to death by the King was granted a reprieve of one year. He discovered that the King was a lover of horses and promised that within a year he would teach the King’s horse to fly. His friends laughed at him. But the man explained, “Within a year the King may die, or the horse may die, or I may die. Besides, who knows? The King’s horse may learn to fly”. I recently told this story of hope to a friend who was becoming increasingly incapacitated by idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a disease with no known cure.- Sunday, June 24, 2012
