It is said that inspiration comes from all sorts of unexpected sources and I was graced by one such moment a few days ago…
It was like Danny Wallace’s sudden meeting of Maitreya the universal teacher in his book the Yes Man but my ‘Maitreya’ appeared to me in the form of a machine. A cold unthinking machine whispered to me a line of inspiration that shook me to the core. It was the ticket payment machine at Midvalley where I was paying for my ticket. As I popped in my notes, It boldly displayed, “Change is possible.”
Time stopped…
This machine knew something….
Others might scoff and claim that the machine was referring to the spew of coins that it spat out moments later but I do believe it was trying to tell me something. That life is about change and that change is indeed possible. Changing to adapt, changing to improve, changing to better oneself… the machine knew it and it was sharing that simple truth with me. The cycle of reincarnation reinforces this concept that everything changes in some way or another, in some form or another.
I knew I had met my ‘Maitreya’.
This here is a picture of an odd little game I purchased and played once… Pictureka! I should have read the instructions..
