A story about finding peace and tranquility in the present moment ....

In the past when I attended the "Healing Mass" at St. Mary's Assumption in my beloved hometown of N'Awlins, Fr. Harry Grile, C.Ss.R., Executive Director for the Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos Center - who'll be reassigned soon - shared this story about blooming where you are planted / finding treasure "where y'at?!"

The story goes that a poor Rabbi in Krakow Poland had a dream about finding wealth in Warsaw under a bridge. After a few nights of this same dream, the Rabbi told his wife, "I must search for this!"

So after making the trek to Warsaw, he was tired, so he slept first near the bridge that a guard was manning. The guard saw the Rabbi, awakened him and asked why the Rabbi was there.

The Rabbi told the guard his story, at which the guard replied: "How Funny! I've been having a similar dream at which I was told to go to Krakow to a Rabbi's house to find a treasure buried beneath the Rabbi's floor! I'm just about to go!!!"

WHERE'S YOUR TREASURE???? - Sometimes, right 'Where Y'at?!!!
