Everything is an education
If you just take the time
To open up your mind to the bottom line
―Atlanta Rhythm Section
The finger pointing to the trumpet seems to be more interested in how the message was delivered and who brought it than the message itself. We can be so easily swayed by our assumptions and assessments about the package that we fail to heed the message. But as Jamie writes, "The true gifts come when we learn to look within at why it bothers us at all." If we can just drop our opinions for a moment, we might be surprised by the wisdom at our feet. Horseshoe crabs are completely harmless to humans; even though their tails (called telsons) may look dangerous, they actually use them to flip themselves when overturned. Likewise, we don't have to 'approve' of the messenger, but it would be prudent to use the message to help ourselves.
