[tmtranscripts] Abraham 3/28/05

[Thea Hardy]

Thanks, Pam - that is a wonderful and useful definition! I have also 
had recent experience in asking illness what it has to teach me - I 
hope that my willingness to even ask such a question rather than to 
perceive it as some externalized plague put upon me indicates a degree 
of improved humility. But it's one of those journeys that does not end 
- always room for more growth, more learning, yes!

Thank you for sharing that,

Thea
