Amputated – A True Spiritual Story As Told By Anthony de Mello

Today's very very short story is from one of Anthony De Mello's books, “Heart of the Enlightened.”

Though it's short, it's power is unquestionable. AND to help you take the story deeper into your own life, please give some thought to these ‘reflection questions.' 🙂

Take a few moments to really let the story sink in before you answer them…

Because if you are truly PRESENT with your answers, you'll discover something new about yourself.

This is a true story…

Sudha Chandran, a contemporary classical Indian dancer was cut off in the prime of her dancing career

—Quite literally—

When her right leg had to be amputated!

After she had been fitted with an artificial leg, she went back to dancing and, incredibly, made it right back to the top again.

When asked how she had managed it, she said quite simply,

“You don't need feet to dance.”

Reflection Questions

• Imagine something you love deeply is directly in front of you. Imagine it with complete fullness and in every way as though it were real. Now imagine that it is unexpectedly taken from you forever. How would you adapt?
• What does “dancing” mean to you?
• What do you, personally, need to be able to “dance” with all of your being?

If you want to dance with life more fully…
