Lost?

by sylvia on May 4, 2013 · 0 comments

The other day, I was talking with my “village Mom”, for those of you who may be unfamiliar with the term, remember the old adage, ‘it takes a whole village?’ well, a “village Mom” is someone who although she’s not your mother, still has no problem helping or correcting you when necessary.  Anyway, I was talking with her and she shared a story with me about her sons’ dog, Tyson.  She said that somehow, the gate was left open and Tyson got out, they searched frantically for him, without success.  Four days later, while delivering mail, the postman asked if they had lost their dog, he told them that he delivered mail to a house three blocks down and the owner told him that a stray dog, who looked like their dog, ran under her porch and wouldn’t leave, so she called the ant-cruelty society to pick the dog up.  Hoping that it was Tyson, her son quickly dressed and the postman took him to the house where the stray had taken refuge.

Last month I talked about paying attention.  I told you that there are three mistakes one could make along the road to their destiny, not starting, not finishing, and not paying attention.  Now, I want to prepare you for what that entails.  In order to pay attention, sometimes we have to Be Still.

So, [...]
