Day 51 of 400 Demands

I really didn't have anything to write about yesterday. The day unfolded with ease and effortlessly. Because it was such a nice day we cooked steak out on the grill and then decided to drive to Dallas to shop at Whole Foods. While shopping I thought, "Wow, this is nice not to have a single thing to write about." Then I turned the bend and there were women everywhere, buggies everywhere and no one paying attention to where their shopping carts and bags were.

So I stood there patiently waiting for about 3 minutes and then I thought well I'll just move a cart up just a bit and I'll be able to make it by. Now listen, no one was looking (at least that's the perception I had since no one acknowledged me) and no one heard me say "excuse me". But as soon as I put one finger on one ladies cart she jumps out of her "not seeing me" and says, " NO,NO, NO....I'll move that. I'll get that. Leave that alone, I'll get it." LOL

You know what I did....I just kept pushing the cart just a bit out of my way and said, "No, I'll do it and then I'll put it back for you to do." LOL ....NOW here's the ridiculous part. Whatever she was studying so hard that prevented her from moving in the first place, and kept her attention was completely gone by the time I moved her cart. She just started pushing her cart around as if she was never looking at anything. Of course I just ignored her and went about my searches because I was not going to let this person be stupid on me.

But it gets better....as we are getting in our car a woman is trying to get into someone else's car with her keys and they wouldn't fit. She says, "They all look alike". This was a Honda and she drove off in a BMW. Wow!!!! They all look alike, in what reality. And hers definitely was different.

Now, there is nothing I can really feel emotionally about all of this but we both needed to witness this situation for some reason. This is a good example of how to process a situation you don't have a clue in what the meaning is for you. So here goes.

Ego: It was obvious this lady was not staying focused and aware of her surroundings and felt angry when people tried to help her. I wonder how could someone be so blind to life. I gain frustration in situations like this and lose time and energy because of having to go around them or being careful of them.

Spirit: I am focused and aware of my surroundings and feel happy helping people. I know everyone sees life clearly in peace in every situation with lots of time and energy while accepting others.

After I wrote this out I could see how this has been the theme for me for a couple of weeks. While continuing this lesson I'm gaining more awareness of the small details that I sometimes easily over look. I could see this is what I signed up for.
