I watched the events unfold in New York City yesterday via the internet
from a computer on my trainer's podium during a five day seminar I'm
leading this week in Wichita, Kansas.
This is what I got:
That is not
who I am.
That is content only. Yes, it is horror movie content. But
that's all it is: content.
As I got the enormity of it, I got bigger to take it in. Then when
that horror movie content seemed to get bigger, I got
bigger again
Eventually I got - out of watching that - how big I really
am ie how big we really are.
Whatever my compassion, regret, emotion, anger etc about
that is, in the end, I'm the one who chooses the
context
to hold that content, and I declare I'm bigger than that content.
Waaay bigger ...
Also, it's a wake up call: to love the people in your life, because
everything always has the possibility of coming to an abrupt end very
suddenly.
You don't want to be standing at the pearly gates at the end of your
time on
Earth
saying "Ooops! I forgot to tell my family I love them.".
