Yesterday after writing about time, I recalled a TV show I had once seen as a child. (I believe it may have been an Australian show) It was titled The Magic Boomerang. It was a story of a person who had a boomerang and every time they threw it, time would stand still until the boomerang came back. It made an impression on me.
Years later while watching the Secret for the first time, I recalled the show and thought how our thoughts, feelings, and actions were like boomerangs, always coming back to us. It is a concept which resonated with me and has become very much a part of my daily life. Gandhi said "Be the change you want to see." It is the same concept, except that the boomerang is the change unleashed, which then returns to you the similar. If we want peace, we need to be peaceful. Any so-called proponent of peace who is having difficulty with their temper, needs to get busy working on that. We can not change anger with anger. We can change anger with love. Ergo the above quote from Aesop, remembered for writing his Fables. Be Kind. Train your heart and your mind and choose to be kind. That is not a small thing and if we all do it, it would truly change things. And you will reap a great harvest of kindness, if that is what you sow. Namaste!
