I can fold million times now as only thing at work my supervisor hated was folding hands . Even if there is nothing left to do at the end of long day at work .He dared to say ( go home if nothing we could find ) even before time . And I did . Then I asked myself Who am I ? A tired laborer to go home . Liked reading all the columns . A beautiful writer . Did you write any book ?

And thank you for that story... I can understand the kind of openness he was talking about. It is hard to practice though, at least for me. But there is such large wisdom in it... we can't "not" feel, but we have to let the feeling move through us. Something to think about and practice.

However, a couple of years ago, I met an old wise one who told me during a conversation about this very topic,<br /> <br />"You have to be open."<br /> <br />I didn't understand as it was both counter intuitive and opposite of all I had learned. <br /><br />After thinking long and hard about that statement, I remembered a story that Joseph Marshall III had told in his book, "The Lakota Way." A Grandfather was talking to his Grandson, who was very upset about bullies who had called him names. He told his Grandson that words can indeed hurt, but then he asked him if he had changed into those things that they had called him. The Grandson replied, "No." He then told him, "You cannot forget what they said anymore than you cannot feel the Wind when it blows. But, if you will learn to let the Wind blow through you, you will take away its power to blow you down. If you let the words pass through you, without letting them catch on your anger or pride, you will not feel them.<br /><br />So too, with energy.<br /><br />debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12492592422203120904noreply@blogger.com
