A letter to Life


Dear Life,

Every morning holds your treasure, your beauty.
Either in a moon crescent, a star, a cloud, the sound of the crushing waves, the salty sea smell, a chirping bird, the wet ground, a sunrise, the color of dawn, the lights of an awaking city, a raccoon crossing a street... all of this is what make you so precious.

And I know this is what I have to take in my heart, hold tight and carry all day long. Nothing else matter.

Gazing at a fading moon as the sun rise I am moved to tears. This is so beautiful. I realize that even if in a few hours and maybe a few minutes I don't see the moon anymore, I know it is still there. Everything is still there because I am alive and I carry the whole world in me.

Om Shanti.

A letter to the Sun


Dear Sun,

I owe you my life.
Without you there would be no light, no warmth.
There would be no clouds, no rain.
Without you there would be no life.

From the moment you rise to the moment you set, your energy nourishes us.
And even in the night you are still there,
sweetening our dream through the Moon that you share.

Oh dear king of the sky, you are the good wizard of my life.
You are the one who can make me smile when I am sad.
The one who can heal my wound when I am hurt.
The one who can bring me hope when I doubt.
The one who can dry my tears when I cry.

You are the one who knows how to touch my heart.

Om Shanti
