A friend has been doing that. He recently sent us an unpublished manuscript of "thoughts" he started to write a few years ago... (Around the time he had some serious health problems? I didn't ask.) He had worked on it off and on ever since. Now, he was sending it out to share with friends.
What a great idea - to write down thoughts that ring true! I do it sometimes in this blog. My father often shared them in conversation - if we would listen!
Today I think of a small "epiphany" I had last week, after my daughter's building lost running water due to a frozen pipe.
Go to a hotel until it's fixed, I urged her. You can't live like that!
But she stayed. Eventually she and a friend walked over to a neighboring house to ask for a bucket of water... and met a helpful neighbor for the first time!
It's good to have all we need - food, water, work, and so on. But a lack reminds us that we need each other, too. (That's my "everyday epiphany" for today!)
