I am married to a remarkable woman who has spent the last thirty years studying metaphysics and spirituality. Our house is graced by hundreds of books by pioneers like Emerson, Thoreau, Troward, Holmes, Goldsmith and Tolle. I examine the library and think that If I had not had the dormant seed of enlightenment within me, I would have been spun off years ago ... like a pea on a centrifuge! But the seed was there ... and it is flourishing. It manifests in so many unexpected ways.
Yesterday, I was walking in the town of Warwick as I do every day. I was accosted by a young man, my antenna immediately suspecting his questioning. 'Do you live round here?' he asked looking at me benignly. I was reluctant to answer. 'In the neighbourhood, yes.'
'Well, I wonder if you could help me? I'm trying to start a small window cleaning business. It's hard going but I don't want to rely on the state and am determined to succeed. Do you know if people in this street have a regular cleaner? I'm a big believer in positive thinking. Have you ever heard of that? You have! Amazing! All my mates think I'm weird thinking about such things but it all makes sense. I've been reading the thoughts of a dude called Confucius. Ever heard of him?'
The young man in question had a sheaf of home produced flyers, a bucket and sponge and nothing else. For now he possesses no transport or ladders ... but he is standing tall and is determined to succeed.
