today cotton candy twilight sky
slowly sliding into midnight-ink dark
transitions the magic of in-between
Another slow, peaceful day enjoying some Argentinian Yerba Mate tea. A perfect day to share a story. Here's is a wonderful one from the site Detoxify Now:Sufi and Zen Parables, called Everyone You Meet:
Word spread across the countryside about the wise Holy Man who lived in a small house atop the mountain. A man from the village decided to make the long and difficult journey to visit him. When he arrived at the house, he saw an old servant inside who greeted him at the door. "I would like to see the wise Holy Man," he said to the servant. The servant smiled and led him inside. As they walked through the house, the man from the village looked eagerly around the house, anticipating his encounter with the Holy Man. Before he knew it, he had been led to the back door and escorted outside. He stopped and turned to the servant, "But I want to see the Holy Man!"
"You already have," said the old man. "Everyone you may meet in life, even if they appear plain and insignificant... see each of them as a wise Holy Man. If you do this, then whatever problem you brought here today will be solved."
“To the poet, to the philosopher, to the saint, all things are friendly and sacred, all events profitable, all days holy, all men divine.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
May you have time to enjoy a simple day
