Question

Waiting for the airplane to take off, I was happy to get a seat by myself．Just then, an air hostess 36 me and asked, "Would you mind changing your seat? A couple would like to sit together．The only other  37  seat was next to a woman with both arms in casts（石膏）, a black-and-blue face, and a depressed emotion．"  38  am I going to sit there" was my immediate thought．  39   then a soft voice spoke, "She needs help．" Finally I took my new seat and  40  that the girl was named Kathy and had survived in an auto accident, and she was on her way for  41  .

When the snack of nuts and juice arrived，42  did not take me long to realize that Kathy would not be able to 43 herself．I considered offering to feed her but  44  , as it seemed too close a service to offer to a stranger．But then I decided that Kathy's need was more important than my  45  ．I offered to help her eat, and although she too was uncomfortable about  __46___  it, she did. The experience was   47  and she and I ___48__close in a short period of time.  By the end of the five-hour trip, my heart was fully   49 ,and the time was  __50___  better spent than if I had just sat by myself.

I was very glad I had reached beyond my comfort zone to sit next to Kathy and feed her. Love sometimes   51  beyond human borders and dissolves the fears   52   keep us separate. When we stretch to serve another, we grow to live in a larger, more  53  world.

       Help me move   54  the small self so I can connect with the hearts of others.

       When I give  55  to another, I feed my own soul.
