But what if the mountain before you, is actually there to help you climb?

Stunned. I can't even talk about this yet. Too much truth has rendered me breathless.

Dear Maithri,

I think this is my favorite post ever. This is how I've always felt and what i've taught my children, It's the way we look at things. Your story illustrates it beautifully. Your friend is beautiful. Thank you for sharing dear Maithri.

with love,
lori

2009-11-01T16:40:38.190+11:00

maithri, i'm beginning to see there is nothing you can't do when you put your mind and voice to it.

tla said it real and true: you were born to do what you do.

thank you for the story of the mountain, and for the story of your medical school. i will let the mountain speak to me and i will think of you.

love to you maithri,

2009-10-30T19:00:09.370+11:00

I remember that so well...you checked the mail everyday that week and when the envelope finally arrived you bolted, the fastest i've ever seen you move from the garden through the house and into your room.We all followed and waited anxiously outside your door and finally heard you jumping and shouting for joy.
I love that memory!

You are doing what you were born to do Big brother! And the world is so much better with you in it!
Miss and love u lots xx Tla

I read every word of your post, Maithri, and all the responses ... and then I saw

"Change the way you look at the world and the world you look at will change."

Thank you ... xoxo

Hello Maithri,

Life is about looking monsters in the eye and saying,"I see you, you scare me, but I will not run away.I will love anyway."

How fortunate for you that Susan had the magic words for you that faithful night. Angels are all around us.

Thanks for this beautiful uplifting story. May you always fly with the angels!

2009-10-30T13:32:16.075+11:00

These are all wonderful stories that you share with us, Maithri.

At the top of the mountain is our destiny. Circling around its base is our fate. We can transcend the cycles of fate by finding the path of least resistance to the top. That is, how do I ascend in Grace. How can I release the weight I have accumulated so that the wind can boost me to the top. We certainly can spin any hardship into easyship.

Thank you my wonderful friends, It seems like wal...

2009-10-30T13:10:17.804+11:00

Thank you my wonderful friends,

It seems like walking through a portal into yesterday when i remember those times...

So much has happened in the 14 years since... Our work in Africa continues to grow with each passing year....But the lesson remains the same...

Change the way you look at the world and the world you look at will change,

Much love, Maithri

Thank you for your lovely comment, Maithri.

My daughter, who is 13 years old, has been saying she wants to be a pediatrician and attend Princeton (which is near where we live in the US)from a very young age. At first we smiled, thinking it a child's dream, but as high school entrance approaches we see her researching what courses to take, and what electives to chose that will put her in the medical field path. I have always supported and encouraged her, telling that hard work will help her reach her goals, and when I read what you wrote...I called her and we read it together.

Now, whenever she might feel discouraged about a particular subject or about the path to achieve her dream I will reminder that...

It's not a foe but a friend :)

Thank you!

May you always follow the light and may your path be blessed.
Isabel

Maithri - what an amazing young man you are! That determination got you to study for your tests, and stuff your head with all the things you need to know to help all the people you help - but your heart helped you to listen to your friend, and to view the world with love. xox Pam

Thank God you didnt give up.... Imagine how many lives would be poorer for it, if that had been the case....

You have brought tears to my eyes today Maithri,

2009-10-30T04:31:08.059+11:00

M,
Tears run down my face. I think of my struggles as mountains yet there are so many others who face challenges far bigger and higher in scope. Although you may not have known it at the time, I believe you were blessed with the gift of healing the moment you were born. You carry MD after your name, but even without it you would have mended souls.

I await the day when I can sit with you and listen and laugh! What a blessing that would be.

2009-10-30T04:13:16.615+11:00

Maithri, you are always reminding us of gifts we have right before our faces and I am so grateful for this.

Maithri~
What a heart warming story. You do know that you heal, even with out being a doctor? your words are a balm to many a soul.
~smile~
I have been listening to Cat Stevens in my studio today, and there is something about him that always makes me think of you, maybe it's the joy in his songs??
this one in particular so makes me think of you...
