Count your blessings

[Guest guest]

Wendy ji,

 

/// " I cried because I had no shoes; Until I met a man who had no feet " ///

 

Very rightly said! :-)

 

In 2007, I had gone to a nearby temple. There, I saw an old man ring the temple

bell with his left hand instead of his right hand. I was surprised--and then, I

saw that his right hand was paralyzed.

 

Just before I saw that man, I was thinking about my various difficulties in

life. In fact, I was planning to approach God's shrine with a list of my woes.

But, when I saw that man, I somehow changed my mind, and sought nothing from

Him. Instead, I thanked Him for giving me two hands that I could fold in front

of Him while seeking his blessings.

 

BTW, then, I was running BU-SA-SA, I think. Interestingly, Sani represents old

people and grief.
