Work in this small Mid-Western community, was almost as slow as his beat- up Pontiac. But he never quit looking. Ever since the factory closed, he'd been unemployed, and with winter raging on, the chill had finally hit home..." Dear Muktimaa and all ~ this is such a lovely story, and it reminds me very much of the movie, "Pay it Forward." The movie was based on the same premise, and a series of similar events and encounters. If each of us "pays it forward" at any time the opportunity presents itself, we could well be part of an endless garland of flowers connecting one person to another and another and ... I think there is another way to pay it forward. Perhaps an obvious need doesn't present itself. Perhaps what presents itself appears to be negative ~ anger, irritation, fear... But even with these we have the opportunity to pay it forward by responding to the person/situation instead of reacting to the emotion that is presenting. Today, I missed an opportunity, and for that I am very sorry. Thank you Muktimaaji ... and enjoy your blissed out state as long as possible. Jai Maa! ~ Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
