perhaps this might cast some light on my journey of dismantling, grief and surrender

----------

Dear Daricha,

Thank you for sharing with me in our brief phone conversation three weeks ago tonight. I glimpsed a world broken, bare, numb, scorched and deeply imprinted with death and devastation. I heard a distant whisper of your grief but I sensed such depth of pain it left me silent.

Health will follow sickness.
Happy will follow sad.
All life is cyclical.

When you release your musculature and breathe deeply, you are much better able to take in the energy that is available to you in any given moment. This is the essence of healing and high quality health!

Christianity: The Chess Game

A young man said to the abbot from the monastery, “I’d actually like to be a monk, but I haven’t learned anything in life. All my father taught me was to play chess, which does not lead to enlightenment. Apart from that, I learned that all games are a sin.

“They may be a sin but they can also be a diversion, and who knows, this monastery needs a little of both,” was the reply.

The abbot asked for a chessboard, sent for a monk, and told him to play with the young man.

The Four Forces by Paulo Coelho

Father Alan Jones says that building our soul requires Four Invisible Forces, namely love, death, power and time. It is necessary to love because we are loved by God. It is necessary to be conscious of death in order to understand life better. One has to fight in order to grow - but without falling into the trap of the power that we obtain in doing so, because we know that such power is worth nothing. And lastly, it is necessary to accept that our soul – although eternal – is at this moment caught in the web of time, with all its opportunities and limitations.

Although Tokyo is a huge metropolis, there are many small streets and quiet areas where one can feel at ease. I live about a half hour from the center of town and my neighborhood has the feel of a small village.

I live in a large ground floor corner apartment in a three story building and my apartment also serves as my office. I love the comfort of working from home, and I feel great not having to commute to work every day.

Two sides of my apartment have verandas that run the full length and width of my space. On the side that houses my office and treatment room I have numerous beautiful plants and flowers growing and a large birdfeeder that attracts many of the locals.

This is a question that has not bothered me for a long time, precisely because I don't know how to answer it.

I am not the only one. Through all these years I have lived with all sorts of people: rich and poor, powerful and mediocre. In the eyes of all who have crossed my path – and here I include warriors and wise men, people who should have nothing to complain about - I have always found that there was something missing.

When you're not here... Where are you? by Charlie Badenhop

"When you're not here... Where are you?" This was the question posed by a Japanese friend sitting at a table near me in our local coffee shop.

"Huh?" I said, as I oriented back to being in the room.

"Well I've known you for some time now" he said, "And I've never seen you go so far away while sitting here."

It's true that I was sitting in the coffee shop, but was somewhere else emotionally. I had transported myself back in time, thinking about the wonderful experiences I had with my teacher Eva who recently passed away, and her husband Gene.

Animal promiscuity by Paulo Coelho

Recently I read an interesting polemic article in the American newspaper New York Times (25/03/2008). Written by Natalie Angier, the text is based on the research of prominent biologists and psychologists concerning monogamy. The conclusion that they reach is impressive: conjugal infidelity is present throughout the animal kingdom.

And that's not all: studies have shown that certain species "pay” for sex, while others reward their "lovers” with presents and affection. To complete the picture, jealousy and machismo are also to be found there: females are violently attacked if they copulate with another partner.

A model's routine by Paulo Coehlo

In order to write the book "The Winner is alone”, the main theme of which is the cult of celebrities, I had to do some interesting research into the routine of those women who inhabit the collective imagination: photographer's models. However different they may be, what follows is an invariable pattern of behavior among them:

Before going to bed they use several creams to clean the pores and keep the skin hydrated – from an early age making the organism dependent on foreign elements. They wake up, drink a cup of black coffee without any sugar, and some fruit with fibers – so that the food that they ingest during the rest of the day passes quickly through the intestines. They climb on the scales three to four times a day and become depressed by each excessive gram denounced by the needle.
