THE ZEPHYR OF THE SOUL IS FAST LIKE A BOUNDLESS GLIDE, MADE OUT OF EMOTIONS

The zephyr of the soul is fast like a boundless glide. It is made out of all

possible emotions and twinkles with all the wonders to see. Never close your

eyes to your heart when you travel that road. Don’t even hold on to anything,

just feel the breeze caressing you. There is only one journey and that is to

follow the guidance from everyday life. See where the next bend leads you.

When anger, pain or fear come along, you will shrink again and could

encounter even tougher lessons. It may be that you still have not learned the

lessons of your previous life. When these emotions leave you, you will have

learned again. Next time, look for the gentler lessons of love. That road is so

much smoother and feels more rewarding.

All the monks have entered the pagoda and are sitting in a row on the

ground floor. Golden gongs are suspended beside them. Simultaneously, the

nuns have walked to the top floor to start their part of the morning global

ritual of letting go, when the collective shackles of the previous night are

released.

Some ‘passed-over’ sisters enter in flight. They are fifteen feet tall and

are wearing light-blue dresses and orange pointed hats. They are laughing

aloud. The lightness of white feathers dances around their faces, their eyes

still as beautiful as when they were alive. As swiftly as they enter, they leave

again, like jays on their way to warmer places.
