the stone
Published Apr. 17, 2008
This was sent to me by email but is too pretty not to share ....
There was once a wise woman traveling in the mountains who
found a precious stone in a stream.
The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and
she opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw
the precious stone and asked if she might give it to him.
She did so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his
good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give
him security for a lifetime.
A few days later he came back to return the stone to the
woman who had given it to him.
"I've been thinking," he said, "I know how valuable the stone
is, but I'm giving it back in the hope that you can give me
something even more precious. I want you to give me what
you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone."
Sometimes in our continual drive to get ahead, we forget that
those things we gather around us, no matter how precious they
might seem, pale in comparison to what we hold within.

Shoebaby - I'll pass that compliment along to my friend - she's the artist.
