I was pretty down in life, in my early 20's doing community service for an assault with a weapon charge lol it was mace anyways I had to report to a catholic diocese at like 4:45 am to do my service and I was sweeping up stuff from the front steps and it included needles old condoms etc and I look up and it is a magnificent mother superior of the catholic order with amazing blue robes, medals and sashes and she just looks at me and smiles and said "Thank you so much for what you are doing here today!!"
That gesture was god in form
I changed my whole life after that after taking vipassana too :)
Just never expected to see a nun on the run that day lol :)
