Parable of the Lost Horse was shared with me and the 30 other women I was in inpatient treatment with 19 years ago, by the programโ€™s then director, Mel. What a woman she was.

I have never forgotten this parable. And I often forget this parable. Thank you for all 3 ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

Parables; a way of reaching all people no matter what their level of comprehending.

We need to bring this back into modern context. ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’ฅ

The Useless Tree has been a guiding star for me for most of my adult life. Thanks for sharing these. In a time such as ours, when many of us are trying to be as โ€œusefulโ€ as possible, it is good to remember the value of the useless.

I think we can all relate to the exasperation of not understanding a new concept. In a state of mental confusion where weโ€™re unable to connect the proverbial dots it feels like this is beyond us. And thenโ€ฆ weโ€™re reading/hearing a parable and mental clarity arrives with that all familiar โ€œaha!โ€ moment. Yes, thank you for this precious mindful expansion moment. ๐Ÿ™

I've been trying for months to remember how the parable of the lost horse went. Thank you for sharing it and refreshing my memory. It's my favorite parable!

My husband loved that parable too. He often said "we'll see" after events were labeled one way or another. It is fitting that today, the anniversary of his death, I would see this again. ๐Ÿฆ‹
