As a Christian woman, the octave of Easter 2010 brought in me a vibrant promise on how to be a free person. Freedom means to be on top of my own ego, desire and mindset. An acceptance of the true self. In the Zen tradition, Sekito (Shitou in Chinese) said, "the expansive sky does not obstruct the floating white clouds". My free thoughts and feelings expressed in this blog is a witness that life is meant to be lived fully, freely, mindfully and joyfully.

IS TIME ESSENTIAL?
I don´t know if time
is a measurement
to gauge how many days
or how many years
I have been faithful.
Faithful to my husband
as we renew our vows
for fifty years
or kept my promise
for twenty five years.
Whether is it is a long
or a short commitment
to a relationship
time is an element
but not the most essential.
How we are made
how we become
as human beings
by our relationships
may matter more.
If what is left to me
is just a week or an hour
to achieve self-realization
and the summit of living life
then time is essential.
The parameters of time
is served and defined
because one has been
within the time permitted
from then and now.
