Jury duty as a spiritual path

I am completely serious. The judge has consistently asked us to keep an open mind. So, that has required me at least, to not pursue any stories even if That story seems possible or probable. It also means un- knowing each person in that court room... Not pre-judging, not speculating, not stereotyping… Not even believing or disbelieving based on the persons profession or appearance or… But simply staying open to what is presented. It is quite a workout. And the more open my mind, The more compassionate I feel towards each individual in that court room...
And the more My heart is open I find the roles that people are playing So much that...only a role.
I'm glad to be having this experience as I am learning so much.
