I read this entry over lunch, after having gotten out my money in the lunch line to hand to someone who wasn't sure she had brought enough. Not sure I would have been so quick 3 months ago prior to starting to read this blog. Would have been impatient that she was taking extra time!
After reading the soulful relationships post, and the entries regarding subjective reality and other people, I now go through every day considering whether my behavior to others is the reality that I would intend. I see the other drivers in Boston traffic as companion cells in a larger organism to watch out for and cooperate with, not as competition to beat through the light.
Last year I was in an accident, and still use a cane occasionally to walk - I have been so thankful for everyone's kindness to me, and I am now even more interested in paying it forward in any small way.
I am realizing just how selfish I was before - I am so glad that I have discovered this.
