I was nudged by my inner wisdom

05 May I was nudged by my inner wisdom

Good Now. Happy this Moment. I was nudged by my inner wisdom. My intuition told me that I needed to leave the hospital where I had been visiting my Mom at 6 pm, earlier than I had the last few nights. I pay attention to the whispering of my soul. So I got in the elevator and there was a woman about my age holding a bag from the hospital that I assumed was personal belongings. She was very quiet and I could see tears welling in her eyes. I sensed she was feeling very alone and sad. She pushed the button for the hospital lobby and we both stepped out and started to walk silently toward the parking garage. I looked at her and asked, “Do you need a hug?” I’m not usually a “huggy” type, but I was moved to reach out. She said “Oh yes.” We stood there for a long time hugging each other while she cried and cried. Then she said “Thank you so much. I just lost my Dad and I know it’s what was meant to be. He was sick so long. It hurts my heart, but I know it’s better for him.” I said, “I know it’s not the same, but I feel, sense and see his spirit right here with you.” She smiled at me and said “yes.” Then we walked to our cars and said goodbye. There was some divine healing that took place for both of us. It’s a time I was glad I paid attention and could be there for her to offer compassion and understanding. I also appreciated her hugging me. We needed each other. We understood and cared. Your healing presence is worth far more than words. In this time of texting and Instagram, of social media and electronics, I was reminded again about the importance of a look, a touch, a hug, a nod, a smile. No typed emoticon, GIF or e-mail can ever replace our human soul-to-soul connection. Jody Doty
