You are the Light Inside!

Dear Friends
Happy Night
Whatever you are physically...male or female, strong or weak, ill or healthy--
all those things matter less than what your heart contains.
If you have the soul of a warrior, you are a warrior. All those other things,
they are the glass that contains the lamp, but you are the light inside.
Cassandra Clare.
Sharing a Zen Story
One day one person climbed up a mountain where a hermit woman
was meditating. She had taken refuge and was asked:
- “What are you doing here alone in such a solitude place?”
To which she replied:
- “I have lots of work !”
- “And how can you have so much work?
I don't see anything around you here...?”
- “I have to train two hawks and two eagles, assure two rabbits,
discipline one snake, motivate a donkey and tame a lion.....”
- “And, where have they gone that I don't see them?”
- “I have them all inside here within me...!!
✓ The hawks stare on everything that is presented to me, good or bad,
I have to work on them to see only good things. They are my eyes.
✓ The two eagles with their claws hurt and destroy,
I have to train them not to hurt. They are my hands.
✓ Rabbits want to go where they want, at the same time they
do not want to face difficult situations, I have to teach them to be calm
even if there is suffering or stumbling. They are my feet.
✓ The donkey is always tired, stubborn and does not want to carry the
load each time I walk. That is my body!
✓ The most difficult to tame is the "snake."
Although it is locked in a strong cage with 32 bars,
it is always ready to sting, bite and poison anyone nearby.
I have to discipline it... that's my tongue.
✓ I also have one Lion. Oh ... how proud, vain, he thinks that
"he is the king." I have to tame him. And that's my ego.
So you see, my friend, I have lots of work..... “
