The Mystery Within |
I found myself getting stressed this past week over
obtaining some quotes on needed home repairs, and also realizing I can’t keep
putting off the dreaded car shopping to replace my almost 12 year old
vehicle. And I was feeling
pressured for time because of a luncheon date I made with a friend a couple of
weeks earlier. It then occurred to
me this friend has no home of her own, or car, or much of anything else. The timing of our meeting was revelatory. Then on a trip to the library to pick
up Consumer Reports car buying issues I encounter three severely handicapped
individuals truly enjoying their outing there. Awareness of these individuals’ different worlds touched me
and put my stress in perspective.
And I felt the world to be briefly absent of stress when my three and a
half month old Yellow Lab Oliver and I took our walk in the woods not far from
my home. There a rust-colored deer
crossed my path and then stood watching me for a few seconds not twenty feet
away.
