My Serendipitous Lunch

My professor instructed us to take a one hour lunch. Because I didn’t want to stay in my seat for an extra hour, I decided to take a short walk (although we are in the middle of a blizzard). In my walk I ran into this very attractive tempo. After discovering the menu is vegetarian base and meditation is offered. I decided to check it out. Unbeknown to me, I met a lovey lady with my same name and was invited to join the complementary lunch hour. During which time, I participated in a Chinese prayer of peace and thankfulness; I learnt the tempo was built in 1940 in China and now there are over 200. Their purpose is to bring people from all cultures together to practice peace of mind and mental wealth.

See… Our spontaneous walks of life are bound to teach us something new every time. Today I learn the gift of peace is shared among us all. We simply have to stop to take it in.
