Just Come Down and Hold My Hand!

 The following is a quote taken from Stephen Levine’s Biography “Turning Toward the Mystery”.  It is one of my favorite expressions of Love.

Late in his life, J. Krishnamurti (the writer, philosopher, and spiritual speaker) addressed a large assembly.

He spoke with his accustomed softness and care for a few minutes.

Then he called on a fellow who had raised his hand with a question.

Krishnamurti answered slowly, then stopped and began again, then stopped again. 

Then he said his aging had caused him to not always be very sharp and would the fellow just come down and hold his hand.

It was a teaching for us all that someday all that might be left of us is our love.
