Stan Goldberg has put together a series of stories that will inspire you to reach into your heart and soul and seek ways to care for others with a compassionate heart. Each story will guide you into acts of kindness that will move your heart into a place only your soul can embrace. In essence, these stories are encounters with eternal relationships created in our most simplest of moments in our care for others.

You will find stories of gratitude, forgiveness, courage, hope, faith, and much more in this book. As you care for the needs of others through service, you will find a path created inside you that will form your character in ways you never knew was possible. You will find peace in the appearance of despair, and you will come to know your most authentic self.

This is a book of encouragement. You will find yourself challenged by your present behavior toward others and replace it with the joy of living life in unconditional grace. Dying people have much to teach us about living, and how, unconditionally loving another person during their most darkest hours will reveal a beacon of light that will illuminate our soul.

Echoes of the Distant Past

Sounds of distant years

form vibrations in my ears.

They bring echoes from life behind

and impress memories in my mind.

Hearts tingle in succession

and flood my body with emotion

at the presence of an event or friend

real or imagined again and again.

The Spirit wails and wails

in search of twice-told tales

filling empty spaces with similarity

of a past life seen with clarity.

Will my life in the course of time

repeat itself like poetry in rhyme?

Or find a new path to take

that NO ONE, but I, can imitate.

Sam Oliver, author of, "The Path into

Healing"

     A Good Friend Sent me this, and I want to share this with everyone.

     There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated
everyone, except her loving boyfriend.  He was always there for her.  She
told her boyfriend, If I could only see the world, I will marry you.  Then
one day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her.  When the bandages came
off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.
     He asked her; now that you can see the world, will you marry me? the
girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind.  The sight of his
closed eyelids shocked her.  She hadnt expected that.  The thought of
looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.  Her
boyfriend left her in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: take
good care of your eyes, my dear; for before they were yours, they were
mine.
     This is how the human brain often works when our status changes.  Only
a very few remember what life is like before, and who was always by their
side in the most painful situations. Life is a gift.
