So much of this is deeply profound and a great reflection for a Monday morning. Thanks for putting it together. Always good to reflect on how we process things beyond our immediate reactions.
I have to ponder and think about this article for a long time afterwards, and at the moment I don't have words to really describe what I feel, but this is BEAUTIFUL. It's the first time in a while that I actually felt myself physically reacting to something I've read. I feel calm, but also feel like I have to meditate on this.
So deep! It makes me sad reading it but also a kind of softening as I read through it. Getting sick and confronted with brokenness in my recent years do not mean that everything is utterly unpleasant or undesirable. As you put it aptly, "It's in the winter solstice (the deep ends of darkness) that the Yang principle starts to gain its momentum".
As one of my favorite authors Pico Iyer wrote, "Science can solve most of our problems but not the deepest ones. For there's only one place we can go, and that's within".
Thanks! While drafting this part of the series, I had to postpone it several times, so I switched to global affairs just to get refreshed. Reading Chuang Tzu can make one feel inspired, moved, challenged, amused, and also deeply touched, with tears and sighs, about life, about ourselves, about many things unspoken, about things we haven't found a proper way to express them. Somehow, I've felt all the materials have been imprinted in my mind, so scary.
I like the words from Pico lyer. The answer can be found from within.
Very useful and beneficial! Thank you!🙏
Thank you very much. I'm glad it is helpful!
