This holiday, up to today
Has given me space and time
To be with myself
to go deeper into my being
Queit moment alone is so nourishing
As we spent most of our time dealing with external issues and people
We seldom pay attention to this very being inside
The most important being
To listen to it, to feel it, to nurture it with love and to grow with it
I am grateful indeed
Even with this week's holiday unstructured
It turned out well
To direct me towards more meaningful thoughts and activities
That I hardly have time to pay attention to in that daily routine
(Which I call 'the madness', haha, for that's the trend in the life style, be it working or studying!!)
A WORLD OF MADNESS!!
I like this quiet life
To be in touch with my heart at every moment
that makes me feel fully alive
To feel deeply
Every thing that arises from the heart
moment to moment
be it pleasure or pain
Old wound
Suppressed into the subconcious mind
Hi, my old friends
That I have subconciously pushed and suppressed away
As I have no idea how to deal with you
Be it the pain, yearning for a sense of importance
or helplessness,
With the quieting of the mind
what I have learnt from the meditation and Christopher Moon's* workshop
starts to merge beautifully
after all, they are teaching the same technique in different names (or religion)
(Even I find what is taught in Christianity also merge...so why bother so much about name?
Most importantly it works!!)
To let the feelings rise to the surface
with acceptance and not identifying with it
let its energy accumulates to its fullest and then dissipates
This really needs courage and sincerity
to be truthful to oneself
to be responsible for all that one is feeling
Can you wait to see what happens when you accept this feelings?
Oh...a sense of peace creeped in, embraced with love
The nature of our being
is love
Life's lesson
is indeed love and forgiveness
with love, it is unconditional
non-judgemental
As what St Augustine wrote
"It is what it is.
When you speak, speak out of love.
When you are silent, be silent out of love.
When you scold, do so out of love.
When you protect each other, do so out of love.
Let love take root in your life,
And good things will bloom."
Life indeed is full of challenge
but challenges are opportunities
to go deeper
to understand
to grow
to discover the beautiful abundance
that life offers!!
