They can see what'...Yes Marly you're right. They can see what's wrong with us, and most likely we don't listen to them when they advise us how to change. So how can we expect them to listen to us?<br />But an odd thing happened to him on the way here in the airport. He found a little hand-written note that said that life is a gift, and that's why this moment is called the present. While okay, that's a bit too facile, isn't it because there are plenty of nows that are less gifts than curses, it was a message he needed to hear, but he is so invested in darkness and cynicism that he dismissed it as "a tract," a worthless relic of some sort of religious zealot who goes from airport to airport scattering these missives to the travelers who might find them.<br />Why, for once, couldn't he be like that denizen of a concentration camp who reached into a pocket and found a scrap of Torah, that very scrap that he needed to see at that moment, and take it as a message from another person, from God, from the universe? Why not? What does he have to lose?Robbi N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04881145195435485238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717221249845341165.post-84242534216786714212010-03-09T10:55:36.560-08:002010-03-09T10:55:36.560-08:00It would be nice if we could fix life for our chil...It would be nice if we could fix life for our children, our spouse, our parents, our other relatives, our friends. Most of the time we see so clearly what another person should do--as they probably can see us. But I suppose that all we can do is give advice when asked and be an example, as best we can, of a more sound way of living.mymhttp://www.marlyyoumans.comnoreply@blogger.com
