I never thought of putting this on a blog when it happened.
The Power of a New kind of Love This happened on 4th
September 2010
Yesterday a strange thing happened while out with my wife
Pauline, we were in a club when a profoundly handicapped girl young in a wheelchair who
could not speak sat nearby with her carer.
A short while later I felt something similar to an
electrical charge surge through me and found that she and I were both staring
at one another. I suddenly felt her mind in my mind telling me she was happy
that I understood her innermost feelings of inadequacies and that she could
understand mine.
My own mind was acutely aware of how her body felt and it's
shortcomings, it was as if I was inside her body and she was inside mine. I was
totally aware of being her and she was aware of me and my shortcomings she was being me.
The feelings I felt were overwhelming, I never felt so much
power, tears rolled down my cheeks, I felt nothing but pure love, love for a
fellow human being. It was the most profound feeling I have ever felt.
Moments like these teach us that we know very little about
the power of our mind, we are blessed with the ability to show love to one
another and we have to be reminded to do just that.
Now I have learned something new on my life's journey since
I had the stroke. I know that I have been given a gift since the stroke, a very
special gift that was shown to me just yesterday.
When the stoke happened I felt cheated, sorry for myself and
all the other emotions associated with being handicapped, now I feel privileged
to have feelings that I had never felt before, privileged to be able to feel
such intense emotions.
No matter how you may feel about your life, remember that us
humans are somewhat unknown creatures and can always amaze us.
There is always light around the corner and it just might
shine on you to.
I had to write this because it just happened to me.
I'm not a religious person at all but unexplainable things
such as this happen. I'm not going to change into a bible basher, however the
power that I experienced was astounding and I'll leave it at that.
I think it's a something worth telling people about and
truth is sometimes stranger than fiction.
I should ad that my wife stood by and watched in amazement
as these emotions washed over me, she knew that this was really special even
though she was not part of it and could not understand what was happening.
The young girls carer was frightened by the whole episode and rushed her away.
I have not seen the again.
