Vol. 90 Challenge

3/1/2023

0 Comments

 
Life sometimes challenges us on many levels. 
pushes us down, pulls us down, shrinks us
and breaks us to small pieces. 
How we stay present ourselves in such situations? 

I would say, 
breathing moment by moment, 

those challenges ask us 
what we really want? 

Do we give up here? 

no, I do not. 
I will get up, pull myself together
and walk again
with my passion.

Vol. 89 a life of a flower

1/30/2023

0 Comments

 
​A flower does not speak, it accepts its own life. 
withering 
shrinking
smaller and smaller 
heavier and heavier 
and, 
rest one's self 
on the earth
to return to
the Mother Earth. 
surrender to the nature 
to the universe to be embraced.

Vol. 88 "How to Love"

1/23/2023

0 Comments

 
“Every one of us is trying to find
our true home.
Some of us are still searching.

Our true home is inside,
but it’s also in our loved ones around us.
When you’re in a loving relationship,
you and the other person
can be a true home
for each other.” 
― Thich Nhat Hanh

Vol. 87 Breath, a bridge of mind and soul

12/3/2022

0 Comments

 
I am taking care of mother who is slowly passing right now. She in in the last stage of non curable lung disease. I work with her every day how she can breathe with the lungs which has lost the ability. We can not force lungs to work, we rather listen and care and negotiate with the lungs to live and enjoy the life she has left. 
Breath supports a life, mind and movement. 

When breath and mind connects, 
the movement appears much fullness of life. 

Every single breath is a result of life.
Letting breath go to let go things we do not need 
to carry inside of our body, mind and soul,

And there will be space, Ma

When the space appears, 
 the new life comes in.
a new moment 

unknown future.

This body is not me. 

I am not caught in this body. 

I am life without limit. 

I have never born 

and

Vol. 85 On How Lucky We are to be Alive

10/2/2022

0 Comments

 
“People usually consider
walking on water
or in thin air
 a miracle.

But I think the real miracle is
not to walk either
on water or in thin air,

but to walk on earth.

Every day we are engaged in a miracle
which we don’t even recognize:

a blue sky,
white clouds,
green leaves,
the black,

curious eyes of a child
— our own two eyes.

All is a miracle.”

-Thich Nhat Hanh

like
seeding and planting,  

Like 
receiving light from sun and moon
and
growing with your effort

you start new challenge 

when you do your work day and night
like that above, 

you will find what you are looking for in your life.

Vol. 83 Acceptance, Flexibility & Love

8/24/2022

0 Comments

 
I have been taking care of my mother who has a non-curable disease. It has been a month now since I started to live with her. What I have been learning about love is... accepting everything that appears in front of me, and being flexible to her needs, and breathing with her. She has been suffering, and in pain and of course she is scared--, yet, she is trying to live in this very moment. What I can do is be with her and accept anything and everything. Love does this effortlessly. I am exhausted, but I am fulfilled. 

unconditional love. 
That is what she has been giving me.

“Letting go gives us freedom,

and freedom is the only condition for happiness.

If, in our heart, we still cling to anything

- anger, anxiety, or possessions

- we cannot be free.”
