Spiritual Lesson: Motorcyclist gets Jolt of Spirit from an Unexpected Act of Generosity
Dr. Neill Neill
Sometimes life delivers a lesson, an image, a jolt that makes such a profound impression that it lasts a lifetime. This is a story of a simple act of generosity over 30 years ago that indelibly impacted me, materially and spiritually.
Not long ago in mid-November I was heading for California from Vancouver Island on my motorcycle. All the early-winter storms seemed to be happening elsewhere, leaving me with decent weather for my journey. The return trip along the California, Oregon and Washington coast was spectacular.
As I rode south, I thought of earlier journeys. I recalled a solo motorcycle adventure the year I first became a grandfather.
That particular journey started in Eastern Canada and took me through Mexico and Central America.
