TODAY'S TOUCHSTONE

"The least amount of judging we can do, the better off we are."

                                     ~ Michael J. Fox

Consider this example....


"A 24-year-old boy  
seeing out from the train’s window shouted…
'Dad, look the trees are going behind!'
The dad smiled
and a young couple sitting nearby 
looked at the 24 year old’s childish behavior
with pity.
.
Suddenly he again exclaimed…
'Dad, look the clouds are running with us!'
The couple couldn’t resist
and said to the old man…
'Why don’t you take your son to a good doctor?'
.
The old man smiled and said…
'I did, and we are just coming from the hospital,
my son was blind from birth; 
he just got his eyes today.' "
                
                         
(Another tale from Dâvïs Kÿàküwå)

With a lesson of not judging in mind, 
may we approach this day
with fresh eyes ourselves,
ready to see the outer world 
as if for the first time,
with wonder and delight, 
as did the son.

And may we seek to see all others
in our great human family with
acceptance and respect.  

Everyone has a story that we do not know,
even those we think we know quite well.
             

With love,
