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..... “
