¡¡¡¡Waiting for the airplane to take off£¬I was happy to get a seat by myself£®Just then£¬a flight attendant approached me and asked,"Would you mind changing your seat?A couple would like to sit together£®"The only other available seat was next to a woman with both arms in casts,a black-and-blue-face£¬and a gloomy aura.No way am I going to sit there£¬was my immediate thought£®But then a deeper£¬quieter voice spoke£¬"Opportunity£®"I took my new seat and discov-ered that Kathy had been in an autocollision£¬and she was on her way for therapy£®
¡¡¡¡When the snack of nuts and juice arrived£¬it did not take me long to realize that Kathy would not be able to feed herself.I considered offering to feed her but resisted£¬as it seemed too intimate a service to offer to a stranger£®But then I decided that Kathy¡¯s need was more impor-tant than my discomfort£®I offered to help her eat£¬and although she too was uncomfortable about accepting£¬she did£®The experience was exhilarating£¬and she and I grew close in a short period of time£®By the end of the five-hour trip£¬my heart was fully alive£¬and the time was infinitely better spent than if I had just sat by myself£®
¡¡¡¡1 was very glad I had reached beyond my comfort zone to sit next to Kathy and feed her£®Love always flows beyond human borders and dissolves the fears that keep us separate£®When we stretch to serve another,we grow to live in a larger£¬more rewarding world£®
¡¡¡¡Help me move beyond the small self so I can connect with the hearts of others£®
¡¡¡¡When I give love to another£¬I feed my own soul£®
