​We explore; 

the unknown-

fear,  excitement, and hidden treasures

We explode; 

the possibilities-

joy, creativity, and secret flowers,  

power of imagination, 
power of mind, 
power of body 

It is 
Transformation
-Yokko

Do what you believe,

Believe what you do,

and

Surrender.

Unknown pass

no fear, 

we will be guided

dark to the light.

We emerge from the darkness,

and we will be guided 

To the light.

We surrender - 

To the creation. ​

​"Don't Chase after your thoughts

as a shadow follows its object.

Find joy and peace

inthis very moment."

-Thich Nhat Hanh

---------
When I face a challenge, I look up Thich Nhat Hanh's words. His wisdom gives me inner peace, and I no longer worry that something not happening. I choose to feel joy this very moment that I am alive. 

I believe the transformation will come when we accept our shadows and let transform the shadow into joy. I think that is magic! 

"In every life, we have some trouble
But when you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy"
- Boby Mcferrin
 
Worrying does not help to anything or anyone. I learned this in a hard way recently. I have very sensitive skin and a weak immune system. I got flea bites during my tour in LA, and those bites were infected. If I worry and get anxious about the possible worst outcome, my condition literally gets worse. Small stresses or pressures made me itchy. I had to practice "don't worry" in order to survive the situation. I must remember, "Worrying does not help." Moreover, accepting what it is, and embracing what I have; wisdom to be happy! 
 
Don't worry, be happy now ​

Dream:
It gives us power,
It gives us motivation.
It gives us vitality. 
It gives us hope. 

Hope: 
It gives us light. 
It gives us a life.
It gives us a future. 
It gives us a dream.

Happiness: 
the eternal purpose of mankind
peace
acceptance
fullness
daily life
connection
love
many moments in daily life.

I have been deeply inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh.

His words have been guiding me. 
​
“Freedom is not given to us by anyone;

we have to cultivate it ourselves.

It is a daily practice...

No one can prevent you

from being aware of each step you take

or

each breath in

and

breath out.”

---

“Your body is

your first home.

Breathing in,

I arrive in my body.

Breathing out,

I am home.”


-Thich Nhat Hanh 
​

"To love is First  Of  All To Accept Yourself As You Actually Are."

"When We Restore Peace Within Ourselves,
We Have A Chance To Restore Peace Within Others."  

​-Thich Nhat Hanh

"I am determined 

To speak

Truthfully - With 

Words that inspire 

Self-Confidence, 

Joy and Hope. "
​

A meeting is like a miracle.  

There are many people on this planet, and we meet only some of them in our lives. 

And if we feel a connection with people who we meet- 

That is a special connection. 

We did not plan that happens;

Just happens. 

Sometimes repeatably we encounter same/similar people. 

Over and over and over 

Like or dislike

A person, A group, A place, A work, and so on... 

Any relationships...

We call it "EN". 

If we have an "EN", we will meet again. 

I hope we have a good "EN".
