April 2008, Issue No. 64 ~ Paths and Directions Leading to Well Being

As I drove down Swamp Road towards the Middle School to pick up Maria for her Monday piano lesson, a horse was trotting in the middle of my lane straight toward my car! My heart began to race as I slowed to a stop and put on my flashers. Mr. Ed paused two feet in front of my car and we looked at each other with curiosity. He then decided to continue his journey down the other traffic lane — away from the very worried farmhand who was following him on foot. At that instant, a young woman pulled up behind me threw her car into park and jumped out of the driver's seat and stood in the other lane — in front of the horse! With her arms out stretched she said to the horse, "Hey buddy, where you going?" The horse paused and decided to turn back toward the relieved farmhand, who was able to take Mr. Ed's bridle and lead him off the busy road to safety.

As I processed the incident, it struck me that sometimes even a complete stranger can stand in our intended path and re-direct us. It just becomes a matter of choosing to hear and accept their good advice. Is your mind body or spirit in need of some re-direction this month? See which article, course, or offering below might support you on your healing journey.

Closing Thoughts

This Month's Holistic Prayer

Say not, "I have found the truth"
but rather, "I have found a truth."
Say not, "I have found the path of the soul."
Say rather, "I have met the soul walking upon my path."
For the soul walks upon all paths.
The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed.
The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.

~ Mystic Kahlil Gibran on Self-Knowledge
