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.

LOOKING THROUGH THE EYES
One lazy afternoon
I walked down the road
to enjoy the scenery
and breathe fresh air.
I fixed my eyes
on my right side
I saw a tree
that never noticed before.
I was full of surprise
how can I miss
not seeing this tree
full grown and green.
Right before my face
I realized, sometimes
I am seeing
but not seeing through.
Looking but not beyond
what my eyes can see.
Looking through
reveals the true form.
