Reply #57: What a lovely thread. Omega, I think I know why you laughed... [View All]

...at some of the posts here.

We laugh at incongruity, or with delight, but we also laugh at sudden enlightenment: "Why didn't I see this before?!" Aged Sarah laughed aloud when the angel told her she had conceived a son.

You met Buddha or Christ or an angel along the way, and your response was to treat "the least of these" as a meeting with the divine. Nothing you did demeaned the moment or the recipient.

You shared the story (Thank You!), but not all are ready to hear it. They have ears but they hear not, and eyes but they see not.

I know I was reminded of something I need to do -- really look at the people on the streets of my own town.

:hug: to you and :grouphug: to our friends here now. You've all made me smile tonight.
