In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, our young heroes encounter Devil's Snare. For the 2 people out there who haven't either read the book or seen the movie, I will offer a preface. According to www.harrypotter.wikia.com, Devil's Snare is a plant with magical properties. Its power is the ability to constrict or strangle its surrounding environment. Struggling or resistance to Devil's Snare will cause the plant to exert a greater force of constriction.
Devil's Snare is sensitive to both fire and light. It will stop its movement in the environment in front of bright light (natural and artificial) and recoils at the heat of fire.

I find that the more I fight and kick against the pricks that can be my circumstances, the quicker I get sucked into the blackness of negativity. To contrast, in those few and far between moments of spiritual clarity when I allow myself to "be still..." and to pass through the trial in a reverent, selfless manner, the more I am able to love, forgive, and let go.
Who says you can't learn from Harry Potter??? :)

Well said. Love can not exsit while we kick and screem. the only thing you get is tired. Your new neighbor accross the street would have loved this parable. Loves!
Ain't it the truth? I find that's true with my kids too. The more I argue back, the worse they get. If I ignore and love even through the childishness and tantrums, things get better much quicker. Oh that I were more mature. I thought I'd know more by now. Instead I keep learning the same five lessons over and over. Thanks for the reminder!
