Transformation might take the form of doing one thing differently, consciously and deliberately. Like, take one piece of guidance from the writings and apply it in a new way, just to see what happens, and just once. For me, that was the idea I had when I pondered the words Listen to the midnight suffering of the poor. I applied this by inviting the person standing by the road with a sign asking for help, to join me for lunch at the nearby In-n-Out Burger. I told him that I was doing what my faith told me to do, and I would like to listen to him. He was so amazed, he could hardly eat. It was so pleasant, that I spent more time than I had planned, and felt like I had been on another plane of existence. I did not notice that until I came back to my daily routine. He told me that I had uplifted him so much and gave him a sense of strength and hope. I think I will do that again. One other thing I noticed, is that the rest of my day felt very personally blessed in every way.
