“Pick a stranger”

written on August 6, 2016

And during one of these courses, they ask you to walk around the room and pick a stranger. You are asked to sit down with this stranger and face each other. You hold this person’s hands and look into their eyes. Not a single word shall be spoken. “I know nothing about you: what you speak, what you do.
Although I know you. Somehow, I know you.
I feel your pain, I feel your joy. Your heart beats the same way mine does and the sky, the stars, the universe, is as much mine as is yours. All of a sudden, I feel like I’m staring at my reflection. I start to smile as tears fall down your cheeks. My eyes well up as well. Without uttering a single word, I have saved you and you have saved me. We are made familiar to one another in silence. The Master speaks of the healers of the world. They are people like you and I who see their reflection in the people who need them and at once say – “I belong to you”. This is love in its simplest form – All encompassing and unconditional.
And by the end of this process, you embrace me and I smile at you with nothing but gratitude radiating from my heart. In a few minutes, we have learnt the formula of the cosmos.
