"Barn’s burnt down...now I can see the moon." - Masahide

Problems, challenges, and loss burn through our lives as easily as joy, recovery, sparkling epiphanies and uncontrollable LOVE. When barn’s on fire, and after you call 911, don’t throw-in-the-towel! Breathe deeply; calm and watch what-once-was burn all the way down. Cry for loss. Rejoice for the memory. Then let go and EXHALE. Renewed, our view changes. Moon reflects back to us the wisdom of experience; stars dazzle against a backdrop of awareness. The darkness, lovely, velvet and endless, becomes a blanket of deep understanding.
