| "To die, to sleep-- To sleep—perchance to dream." Every night I go to bed to sleep To rest my body-mind-soul from the day, To dream to live in. Sometimes I meet my mother, My grandmother, And having another life In the realm of a dream. Every morning I wake up from the dream, an alternate life - To begin the new day, New life to live, To breath a new moment After living a day, we lay our bodies To rest on the earth, We surrender to the gravity The journey to a dream Every day is a cycle of a life We live in fully a moment we breath Even when we face harmful reality and experience painful feelings There is something to do on this earth existence of a soul; a soul purpose; a dharma perhaps it is called an action. |  Words & Photo taken and edited by Yokko |

The sun is rising from the horizon; The golden warm powerful light Moves over the sky. When the sun is setting, The world is painted by multiple colors; orange, pink, yellow, red and blue. And the moon appears in the sky, The stares appear in the dark blue canvas. When air is getting cold and leaves are falling, The sun is setting quicker. The dark blue night Is embracing us for longer time. Different clouds, Different stars, We can see our breaths in the air. When the night is over, and the moon says good-bye, The gentle warm light is coming to the horizon. The sun is waking up slower than yesterday. The season is changing Nature dances. -Yokko  Our bodies-minds Have been receiving words Since our births; Or even before our births. Family, culture, community, society, Ancestor, history, memory, Imaginations, fantasy and metaphysical world... Words are in us. The moment when Those words are coming out from the body, The moment when The words express How our body-mind experiences; Those Moments... Shake my soul. I fall in love with such a moment. Yokko  What I am supposed to do on earth in my life time? Such question I have been asking time to time since I was dying myself at the age of 19. I did survived the time, but it made me live with the illness. There were several moments I had to ask the question to the universe such as the moment when I was defeated, challenged and limited. I got lost, and asked the reason for my existence on earth. I believe that every souls have a mission. Some could be a parent, and some would be a scientist, a leader, and a public service --- what is my dharma? This on going dialogue with the universe is getting clearer- yet not solid. But every day morning meditation and prayer have been helping me to live simply and serve people I work with, and opportunities I have received. I do not know the clear answer for my dharma, but I do know I want to do my best to live every moment. I guide people age group 17-84 years old. And I perform to tell a story in front of audience. I may have had not be able to be a parent, but maybe this is my spritual mission in this life time. Every morning, I face the question of Dharma, and surrender to the Universe. I decide to live fully till the moment comes. - Yokko

“There is a place in the heart that will never be filled a space and even during the best moments and the greatest times times we will know it we will know it more than ever there is a place in the heart that will never be filled and we will wait and wait in that space” No Help for That by Charles Bukowski
