with my preconceptions
assumptions and solutions
am blinded and weakened.
Staying on however
with these conditions
is as good
as savoring "paletas".
It gives real flavor
the sweetness in bitterness
becomes a bitter-sweet
a change in savor.
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.
When in a long lock down, what is - becomes the pattern of a normal living. The space of time is long and open yet at the end of the day ...
