I did laugh myself when I related the story to a friend. I find it amazing that some of these words pop out of nowhere, to manifest if you will. I can't tell you how many times I have taken that train and never had that thought, but I think because I had just endured a lesson in humility, I was humbled enough to receive the message. All things are link, all we have to do is pay attention. Nick Hi Robin,

Thank you again for your wonderful comments. I did laugh myself when I related the story to a friend. I find it amazing that some of these words pop out of nowhere, to manifest if you will. I can’t tell you how many times I have taken that train and never had that thought, but I think because I had just endured a lesson in humility, I was humbled enough to receive the message.

All things are link, all we have to do is pay attention.

Nick

What an amazing series of events, thoughts and outcomes. That was such a fast read I feel breathless and filled with so many emotions. I felt such tender kindness toward this fellow human being (you) who was honestly telling us about things that we all experience. And you told it SO humbly and yet honestly. Then I couldn't help but laugh out loud over parts of this. You are so warmly funny. The jacket inside out REALLY got me. I laughed right out loud. What a gem! So human. And then I kept picturing you trying to keep everything in hand while you kept your jacket closed. I could just SEE you. And then the realizations of why it hadn't worked the day before. Made me sigh and know THAT feeling and experience. BUT THEN....when you wrote: "No one is looking at the world from quite the same angle that I am. This view is for me, a very precious and unique gift shared with me alone and no one else." Tears flooded my eyes. This is SO beautiful. This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever read. So simple, so sweet and so pure. It is something I won't forget when I look out at the world onto my own special view. I forget this. You gave me a gift. Thank you. Robin Wow!
