In a meditation moment,
I met “a pure universe” within:
… the presence of a “sacred rose” touches the mind
then penetrates heart
her petals warm the soul
she invites the crawling up both light and darkness
accepting and painting the past and the future
in the canvas of the now
with unconditional thoughts of light and darkness
are holding and needing one another
in the journey to love and to grow…

Start seeing the center picture mindfully. Slowly observe the thoughts and associate them with your feeling inside. After you write down the experience of the picture in your mind, move clockwise to the next picture and do the same for all. After completing 10 pictures, you can collectively compare the written experiences.
What is the insight?
How do you think and feel about yourself at the end?
Then you can read mindfully the transforming phrases below:
Let things come; let things go.
Let the water flow and the wind blow.
Let the music sound unhindered. It is the essence of living.
It is living in the present.
One step at a time, even when the problems seem overwhelming.
One step at a time.
I realize the movement of grace even faster than I ever thought.
I do my best one step at a time.
I am moving along and vibrating together with nature.
I flow…
I blow…
I bow…
Journey to the Light

As events come and go, people read, listen, see, experience, and more through all their senses. They consciously and unconsciously allow and incorporate all the experiential happening materials as a part of their personality. Some people may have to become somebody they may never think or intend to be.
One of the remarkable lessons in reflective life is that when people force themselves to take control over events or situations, they need to learn to let go of their attachments to the status quo conditions. They need to mindfully live from the deep place of recognition and then learn to unlearn.
I always remember a message from my “guru,” who said: “If you want to experience the present, then you need to drop off or give up your every idea, the concept of living in the present. You need to come to the mindfulness that leads you to the knowledge that being present is not the same as trying to be present. You need to know that you get it when you lose it, live when you die, rise when you are hung on the cross.” Remember the flow of the river… experience the symphony without needing to own the notes…”
Then, he softly stated one mantra that came from his heart, “Let things come, let things go… Let the water flow and the wind blow, and let the music sound unhindered… Do not hold one note in your pocket… let “do” comes and goes… let “re” comes and goes…” Then, he challenged me to only listen to one cassette of instrumental music each hour, then come to the whole day, month, and even a year… Do you want to try this? Once you get it… you will understand… and don’t forget to drop it again…
The way we expend our thoughts and actions will tell us whether we live according to the flesh or according to the Spirit. “Wherever your treasure lies, there your heart will be” (Luke 12:34).
Things that make sense take time.
Cultivate, fertilize, and till the soil. But don’t expect things of the greatest importance to run on your schedule.
I don’t think God keeps lists of what we must do and want to become. I don’t think that as clever as we think we are, we’ll understand all about God’s mind. Probably, at least, there is one thing that we unquestionably can perceive about God’s desire; it is through our personal experiences about God’s love and compassion in daily life.
That’s the ground that I’ll continue to water and watch… and I will keep lists of the things that can help me grow and nurture many people…
The meeting of two personalities in words and then sharing with one another…
They are like a mixture of chemical substances; if there is a reaction, then both are transformed… All are welcome to embrace and transform…
