The Treasures Within

A beggar had been sitting at the side of a road For over thirty years on a box which was old. One beautiful day a stranger walked by. “Spare some change?” – asked the beggar and sighed. “I have nothing to give you”, - said the stranger to him,- “What is that you are sitting on?” “Just an old box, I seem. I’ve been sitting on it for as long as I live”. “Ever looked what’s inside?” “There is nothing in it”. “Have a look in to see - there’s something or not”. So he opened the box and it was filled with gold. I was inspired by a parable from Eckhart Tolle’s Book “The Power of Now”.
