Finding Truth Self
On the top of an unnamed mountain,
Bliss of wind went through the yellow flower bed.
In the middle of the flower bed,
You stood tall with a smile on your face.
Here is my dearest friend!
My dearest friend,
Would your broad chest endure events
That the normal people could not bear to accept?
Your light body like a willow dancing in the wind;
And your smile—did your smile
Laughing compassionate for the human’s consciousness;
Or
Laughing joyfully for our great Creator?
When you saw me, you waved at me.
Our distance was getting closer and closer.
My heart started pumping fast and fluttering.
You hold me tight in your arms.
Suddenly, my tears broke out
Like two streams running down my face.
I cried:
“I am sorry!
I am sorry!
My dearest friend!”
I had left you and gone to a far away place called world.
I let the dust of the world cover my tiring body.
I had totally forgotten you,
I forgot your existence.
Then, I see you once more.
You still wait patiently for my return.
You are waiting—
Waiting for the two of us to become united ONE again,
Because –
You are me
I am you
This is so beautiful and touching…Thank you for sharing!
[...] Ilchi Lee talk about the importance of the Earth is certainly not new. Many people have worked very diligently to educate the rest of us about the dangers threatening the environment. To my eternal admiration and appreciation, they have spent their lives furthering the cause of the preservation of the Earth. Efforts are being made to publicize the importance of insuring sustainability of economic expansion by balancing the needs of human civilization with that of the ecosystem. However, I wish to talk about the Earth not as a network of constantly varying ecosystems, but as the root of our existence, the central standard bearer of our collective life values, and the source of all life that calls her home. I believe that it is just as crucial to feel the reality of the Earth, as it is to understand her disparate components on an intellectual level. Only then will our intellectual understanding gain power and be transformed into action. [...]
