Guest guest Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 Nothing Higher Yesterday I took a tumble. I was getting dressed to go to the grocery store and remembered that I needed to turn the hems under on my new jeans so that they wouldn't look so long. I hoisted one leg up on the clothes hamper so I could turn the hem under. The hamper turned over and before I knew it, I was falling headlong into my vanity stool. (Talk about a teaching.) My husband heard me crashing into different objects in the bathroom and came in to see what had gone wrong. I tried to explain the sequence in which the events had happened, but it was no use. Besides, I was one big scrape. Today I came across the wonderful story of grace in The Million Paths posted by Gloria. It told of one Anna-Marie and how grace had transpired to bring her to Bombay to be with Nisargadatta. I was moved by this story as I know many people were. Guru's grace is right in front of us even while we are tripping over what is. So grace is not always evident, so what? When it manifests, it benefits all of us.

Yeah, I got the vanity symbolism right away but it was only the day after that the word "hamper" hit me. By this time I am covered in bruises, both physical and metaphorical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read your post in which you said, "What will happen will be perfect and when ripe, you will fall." So that's what happened....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
