Not easy to say "no"

but,

listen to your soul.

Do I really want to do this? 
Do I really need to do this? 

I want to please others? 
by saying yes?  

But, 

What do I want?
What do I want in my life?

 I need to stand with my own feet.
I walk.
I walk my life.

My path.

Finding my path; transformation;

Creation;

Persistence; 

Magic.

Building a bridge
We can not build a bridge within a day, but we can destroy it in one second. Re-buiding a destroyed bridge takes more time than building a new bridge. After destruction there are broken pieces on the ground.

When we decide to move a different direction from another person or a group of people, it is challenging how we adjust or leave or end the relationships we have built. 

I do not think there is a perfect answer. But I believe if there is a choice between build or destroy, I would like to try to build. It may need to adjust something- you know- color or materials or something which I did not expect to be in the first place.

I would like to try to understand one another, because "understanding" is "love" & "compassion". I would like to try if I can be that person. I would like to transform. I would like to transform to be able to understand others. Each bridges are different- and I would like to accept and embrace that. 
I would like to build many many bridges-many many different & unique bridges in the world-in this planet - with you.

Those bridges bring many possibilities.
It makes me giggles.
It makes me smile. 

oh yes. 

Let's make a bridge together!

The essence of loving kindness is being able to offer happiness. You can be the sunshine for another person. You can not offer happiness until you have it for yourself. So, build a home inside by accepting yourself and learn to love and heal yourself. Lean how to practice mindfulness in such a way that you can create moments of happiness and joy for your own nourishment. Then you have something to offer the other person. 


Compassion is the capacity to understand the suffering in oneself and in the other person.If you understand your own suffering, you can help him/her to understand his/her suffering. Understanding suffering brings compassion and relief. You can transform your own suffering and help transform of the other person with the practice of mindfulness and looking deeply. 

The capacity to offer joy. When you know how to generate joy, it nourishes you and nourish the other person. Your presence is an offering, like fresh air. or spring flowers, or the bright blue sky. 

Equanimity, inclusiveness, and nondiscrimination. In a deep relationship, there's no longer a boundary between you and the other person.You are her/him and she/he is you. Your suffering is her/his suffering. Your understanding of your own suffering helps your loved one to suffer less. Suffering and happiness are no longer individual matters. What happens to you happens to your loved one. ​

Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.
Albert Einstein-

When you trip over love, it is easy to get up. But when you fall in love, it is impossible to stand again. Albert Einstein-

The present moment contains past and future. 
The secret of transformation is in the way we handle the very moment. - Thich Nhat Hanh
------
When we breathe, we feel a moment- now. 

We let breath go,
and there is a moment of nothing. 

We do not need to work hard to breathe in; our bodies work itself organically.

New breathe comes in; We just receive

a new moment in our life. 

For that, we need to let breath out

- letting go-

Letting go past, anything that you have been holding in your body, mind, and spirit. 

then,

Receiving new possibilities.

I think that is the key of transformation. 

Breathing in, 

I calm my body.

Breathing out, 

I smile.

Dwelling in 
the present moment, 

I know

this is a 
wonderful moment.

“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. ... No artist is pleased. [There is] no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others” 

-Martha Graham
