Joy

Posted on Sep 13th, 2006 by Ayako : Oneness Ayako
Shawn, Matt, and I went hiking on Monday night.
We were soaked in the rain and surrounded by thick fog all the way to the top of the mountain. It was like a life's journey. As soon as we started hiking, it started to rain. We weren't prepared for it, so all of us were soaked in the rain. It was so dark on the trail because the moon was hiding. We almost gave up and went home, but we believed that the sky would clear. When we reached to the top of the mountain, we could only see six trees in front of us due to the thick fog!! We were freezing with wet clothes and shoes.

45 minutes passed on the top of the mountain. I screamed, "Sky, please clear." and prayed the sky would open up. Someone heard my prayer, and the sky cleared gradually and the lights of the cities showed up one after another among the clouds. It was a magical and exciting moment. It was like opening up a treasure box with jewels. We played Kan'Nal and  Tool on the top of a mountain with my i-pod. We could see a view of all the gorgeous stars, moon, mountains, Boulder, Denver, and other cities. We danced to the music and felt Gods and Goddesses around us. All I felt was deep joy. Beyond all the sadness and death on this earth, I know that we are always surrounded by beauty, love, and the constant creation of life and life force. I am alive and KNOW that everything including all the sadness and darkness are here to teach us love.

The spot has an incredible view and is truly an amazing place on Earth. We felt Hana and all animal friends were with us there. The place makes us feel joy, love, and thankfulness to the universe!!

Second Birth- Poem

Posted on Sep 26th, 2006 by Ayako : Oneness Ayako


Second Birth


me and my stories
never ending

me and my stories
with such power to conquer

me and my stories…

they kept haunting
so I was
sure that I was
someone I know for a long-long time

they kept going
so as
to protect what is on the surface

they kept coming back
so I could
be entertained
by such complexity and endless
fear

pain

rained

and rained

............................................

one night,
Buddha Mind could not stand!
it could not stand watching another
me and my story
overcastting so the LIGHT
would not shine through

next morning,
Buddha Heart could not stand!
it could not stand listening to another
me and my story
shouting loud so the QUIETNESS
could not be heard

emergence of the Two
was the second birth

...............................................


the fire ball far far away
burned brighter
giving its life
to let me truly live

it speared all!!
but with such gentle warmth

it scaled off what was a protector of
my little world

then
a Buddha
Started listening to
me and my stories
with such compassion

 …

I am the Buddha
