Recently, I was informed of another delayed flight (3 for 3 in my recent flights- consistency is not always what it’s cracked up to be LOL). I was in line, looking to make my change along with all the others. All of a sudden, a man loses it and kicks over another man’s soda- making a huge mess. As he stormed off…there was a massive shift in the energy of everyone else in the area.
Compassion descended.
- For the poor person who had to clean it up.
- For the flight agents trying to kindly help everyone through the situation.
- For the woman doing all this with the sleeping baby attached to her chest.
- And yes, even for the man with the temper who didn’t have the tools to look around and find the love.
Suddenly the air of surprise turned to one of CONNECTION. We made eye contact. Smiled. Nodded. Let people through. Said thank you. Laughed.
There are numerous opportunities to shift from Judgment to Choice.
- From Anger to Hope.
- From Self-Focus to Compassion
- From Fear to Love.
Take in the lessons all around to remind you of the right actions. Of humanity. Of LOVE.
What a soul-soothing read! Thank you for this refreshing storytelling! 💙
Thank you, Myriam! Love that phrase, soul-soothing!
Heather, well said and so true, I see this action often, hostility, then docility….especially when the stress of what is happening in our world is so much in our lives each day
Thank you Lynn! So much truth in this…those responses of hostility then docility come when we feel out of control of our lives. When the external is allowed within.
