Yesterday, I was working doing a part of my job that I do everyday that puts me in “automatic pilot” mode where my mind kind of goes blank. For no reason, I found myself decades in the past in the Rascal House, a Miami Beach Deli, with an old friend, Joe, from a 12-step program I was a member of. He was 40 years my senior but he helped a lot of people in the program. He had failing health, a bad back, and not a lot of money so I used to go and visit him and take him to breakfast, and bring my massage table (I was also a licensed LMT) to give him neuromuscular therapy on his back, while we watched Hill Street Blues. He passed away shortly after that time. There was no reason for me to be thinking of this, (with emphasis on my acts of kindness – I don’t think like that) but my medium mind woke up and I realized Joe was making a little visit and thanking me for my kindness! Once I got that, he came in stronger and I could feel his humor. He feigned being impressed that I could engage him. I responded with emotions of love and goodwill, sent him blessings, and then he was gone. When the mind is free, pay attention to what enters. Especially when it’s “out of the blue”. Your loved ones will surely come calling!
