From the The Love Song Of Alfred J. Prufock by T.S. Eliot, we are tempted with such succlent notions as "Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each... Do I dare disturb the Universe?"
Yes! Yes, do. Sometimes all it takes is a kind "Why?" to initiate a snowball effect of change when a person or a system is asked to justify its position. If one remembers two cardinal rules to be learned from nature for successful living, bend like the willow and have the feathers of a duck... (thanks, @AndrewKok). Always be willing to move your stake. Question to learn, not to diagnose or defend.
Had a stunning example of this rule in action today. In finalizing the last of a year of compiling bankruptcy info (and yes, it does take that long, cynics... hope you never have try it on top of health and staying homed issues), I made one called in regards to a $14,000 hospital bill in collections, the guy cheerfully said, "Oh! Adminstrative error. 100% written off and you're elligible for a year of free care at the hospital!"
Just by asking.
Last month, a friend was denied funds at a local AIDS service organization and faced eviction. A simple email asking for consideration produced a $1,000 grant.
Do eat a peach. Do ask why. Do disturb the Universe.
Create the reality you would like to live in. Love to you ALL.
All are One.
