I love trees

TODAY IS THE TREES INTERNATIONAL DAY. I love trees. I appreciate how trees calmly lose their leaves and also calmly and patiently wait for the birth of new leaves. If trees were like humans, we would see them lowering their branches, eagerly, and catch all the leaves and keep them safe for themselfs.

Serenity vow

I kneel down at the foot of the mountain, And I vow to practice the mindful breathing and smiling. I follow the path of mindful living, And look deep into things. To follow the way that leads to healing, joy and enlightenment, The path of peace and serenity.

Let the pain go

Do not spend your Life caressing the pain that breaks you inside. You will have a pleasant surprise if you let them go. Pain letf but you are still in one piece inside of you.

Just preparing strawberries and nothing else

This weekend, while I was preparing some strawberries for lunch, my mother asked me if that was a moment of spirituality, because while I was doing it it seemed that I was thinking about life. I explained her that Zen does not mix spirituality with thinking about life or God or Buddha while we prepare strawberries. In Zen spirituality is just preparing strawberries and nothing else.

It´s up to you

Regardless of the problems that happen in your life you are the only person who can choose how to react to that situation.

Be your own choice

Yes .. I know that Life can be both incomprehensible as exciting. Throughout my life all the times I suffered was because I did not realize the wonder of being alive or because I choosed not being myself or even because I didn´t choose to do what I like to do...

Pay attention to yourself to change

Try to pay more attention to yourself. Try to understand how you relate at home, on the street, at work, at leisure. Watch how you breathe, how you walk, how you touch , how you use your voice, as are your actions and thoughts. Just watch how you relate to the innermost of yourself, with the essence of life. Are you living your live consciously? Can you direct your thoughts, actions and words to change the meaning of what you want and dream? Mahatma Gandhi said: "We must be the change we want in the world." I would add: We must be the change we want for ourselves.
