We got a call from our son saying he wanted to stop by for a visit. We just saw him last weekend, so this was a surprise. My mind started making up what prompted this unusual behavior, as it did his Dad’s.
He arrived with gifts! Last week while he still felt poorly after his holiday travels, he forgot to bring them with him. The surprise visit was so that he could make sure we got them as soon as possible.
How well do you handle surprises? Can you witness what your mind makes up about them? Ki to Happiness witnesses what the mind fabricates with detachment in order to receive the gift of the present.
