Can you see a teacher giving up on her ability to make a dent in the universe?
Can you see a student failing to confront his inner dragons? Can you see a priest or a pastor preaching a sermon which transforms lives? Can you see an organist asking for directions instead of giving directions? Can you see a parent who is so busy protecting her child that he takes over the responsibility for decisions in his life? Can you see a seven-year-old telling a joke which was never told before? Can you see yourself when you might have been overcome with fear of not being worthy of success? These moments when you notice something happening in real time are precious because they give us opportunities to ask why. And asking why gives us insights into ideas behind these actions. The ability to see is like a muscle, it can be learned over time which means that at first you aren't going to be great at it. But if you fail and fail again, the time will come when you will begin noticing things which others don't. It starts with being honest, present, and eager to make a difference. |
