Today I decided to lay down on the Marina Green in SF to enjoy the sun. Shortly before I left a beautiful couple dressed up arrived.
I asked them if they wanted me to take a pic of them. I found out that they had JUST gotten married at the Civic Center. They were waiting for their photographer but wanted me to take a picture of them on their iphone, apparently to let their friends/family know that they just got married.
I decided to drive to Safeway and bought them a nice (I think) bottle of champagne and a boquet of flowers. While I can't say this is always how I behave, doing it is really who I am at my deepest level.
I've always been good about this stuff.
I brought the gifts back to them and they couldn't have been happier. I got hearty hugs from both of them. I clearly touched them.
The photographer snapped a photo but I didn't. The fact is that I flat forgot to take a pic. But the reality is all I really wanted to remember was the feeling.
The feeling of thinking of someone else. The feeling of doing something expecting nothing in return. My heart came out of my chest.
Honestly, I couldn't hold that very well and only stayed for a minute or so. But the feeling continues to fill my heart and soul with joy and warmth.
I couldn't be luckier.
How kind of you, Tim. And you are absolutely right, the feeling that fills you when you've given someone else some joy is the best.

Fortunately analysis is not the only way to resolve inner conflicts. Life itself still remains a very effective therapist.
