Excerpts from this book
...When I turned back around, there it was...
a big black spider had come down from the tall ceiling and was dangling from its tiny, 35-foot long, single strand of silk thread. It was hanging two inches above his face, centered absolutely perfectly over his open mouth...
...don't lean on top of the chair with your arm when the patient is about to sit up. Sometimes their hair is caught under your arm and it hurts them when they move. Other times, you discover that your patient was wearing a wig...
...Speechless they both pointed at me with wide eyes. I Iooked down, and there, right in the middle of my chest was a medium sized, slimy slug slithering its way up my shirt...I knew that for at least that day, I had lost all credibility inside the office.
...We climbed out of our somewhat soggy beds and unenthusiastically moved them back up to the fringe of the grass where the sand fleas were waiting for us. We rolled up in the plastic ground cover and wrapped tightly over our heads, risking asphyxiation, and listened to billions of bugs dance the night away on top of us, as they joyfully tried to gain entrance into our dens. The noise they made sounded just like rain...
I had been in Nepal now for over a month...One morning I was startled to hear a child crying. I went over to take a look, and to my horror saw that several teeth were abcessed and the infection had spread into the lymph system on her right side. She was swollen all the way from her temple down through her armpit...
...Suddenly, it was obvious that the origin of true fullfilment comes from the experience of unconditional giving, caring and sharing. It's what all of us are looking for and it comes from within! |
