Day Eleven: Knowing Before Seeing a Change
“When you can begin to see the seeds of opportunity in the ashes of disaster, then trust is beginning to grow. This trust comes forth in stages. …look for the other face of disaster, the tiny seed of the new that wants to be born.” ~Deepak Chopra, The Way of the Wizard: Twenty Spiritual Lessons for Creating the Life You Want

There is a story I heard on a Jack Canfield CD program many years ago and I’ve heard the re-telling of it by Nick Ortner and other spiritual teachers. The basic story is that monks covered a Golden Buddha statue in mud to hide it from Burmese attackers. All of the monks were killed, and no one knew about the Golden Buddha for over 250 years. When it was moved by crane in 1957, it was thought that they had cracked it. The workers set it down, ordered a larger crane and covered the Buddha statue with a tarp to protect it from the rain until the next day. A monk checked on the Buddha in the middle of the night and saw a glint of something by the crack. He began to chisel around the crack and discovered a solid, gold Buddha.
