Very well said, Sue. I agree with life is satisfying once we stop focusing on other's happiness and instead of focusing on ourselves. It was a difficult lesson but one that changed my life.
Oh Wow! I wasn't expecting you to put God as our business partner at the end. I was too busy getting mad at the man in the story who kept the 100%.
Great story plot, btw. You certainly zeroed in on the man's ingratitude effectively. I guess, we all experience a bit of that ingratitude at one time or another in our lives. A big Ooops!
In my end is my beginning:
I have come home again.
I move forward, carried by this lightness. And understand that it is the beginning, the very beginning of the path to be lived.
A path which for me is interwoven with exchanges between the narrow human condition
and the vast, luminous sky…
I have just arrived back home.
Tomorrow, or in a short while maybe, I will have
lost it again. Or it will have changed, new each time
encountered and yet unchanging… without bearings, I
will move forward guided by silence, this silence that
manifests through its presence, through its absence.
