A Small Practice I Have Been ...

A small practice I have been trying to follow for a few months now; When I come across an inspiring elderly person, I ask them for three things they would offer as an experience of learning from their lives. Yesterday I met Mrs. Vatsala in bank, while i waited for my mother to finish some bank work. She is 80 and overheard our conversation on healthy diets. I was amazed as she started asking me for suggestions on how she can improve her diet 'since her body is weakening a little bit now'. I could only in turn tell her I wanted to learn from her experiences. The three things she wanted to share were: 1- Always attempt to live a life which is authentic to yourself. What is within should be without. 2- We always need the kindness of the Universe to do anything we want to do. We must ask for it and always be kind in return 3- All are equal in God's eyes. Never think lesser or more of another. Love yourself and love thy neighbor as much I am so grateful with the momentary but everlasting heart connections these conversations create.
