This is a story about the present moment where our choices matter based on the entirety of life…
One day while walking through the wilderness a man stumbled upon a vicious tiger. He ran, but soon came to the edge of a high cliff. Desperate to save himself, he climbed down a vine and dangled over the fatal precipice…
As he hung there, two mice appeared from a hole in the cliff and began gnawing on the vine…
Suddenly, he noticed on the vine a plump wild strawberry. He plucked it and popped it in his mouth…
It was incredibly delicious, the best strawberry he ever had!
From my own experience hearing this story, I was so eager to hear a new story. The story was being read and I thought it was best to write the title so I would keep it in mind. Moments after, the story was done. With only a title on a blank piece of paper, I missed the point.
Somehow that little experience seemed like the greatest lesson to life. Lets not let something as juicy as a strawberry to take our attention away.
