A monk was
meditating in the desert when a beggar came up to him and said:
“I need to eat.”
The monk – who was
almost reaching the point of perfect harmony with the spiritual world – did not
answer.
“I need to eat,”
insisted the beggar.
“Go to the town and
ask someone else. Can’t you see that you are bothering me? I am trying to
communicate with the angels.”
“God placed himself
lower than men, washed their feet, gave His life, and no-one recognized Him,”
the beggar replied. “He who says he loves God – who does not see – and forgets
his brother – who does – is missing the juice of a life truly in harmony.”
And the beggar
turned into an Angel.
“So close.” the
Angel remarked before leaving.
This moment standing
in front of you, that you may think is a nuisance, that you absolutely don't
have time for, believe isn't your deal, not your responsibility. This moment,
this thing, that's irritating, bothering, showing up in your path is exactly
what is up for you and necessary to drop into the next deepening expression of
yourself. Don't ignore it in your self initiated 'knowing' you are doing
something more important.
Don't let the
moments of grace slip by. Take a beat.
Each of us is here
to give and to receive love... That is it... whereby in every encounter we are
blessed with an opportunity to extend kindness and compassion to a brother.
Don't miss the possibilities in each moment.
May you feel
connected, comforted and full of peace
Today. Now. Always.
May you see with
your heart and be able to recognize
the truth in every
situation you encounter.
With Infinite Love
and Gratitude
