Glutinous rice, Thank you

 Thank you 

_______

With appreciation to all life and everything,

I gratefully receive.

Bon appétit!

The glutinous rice cooked for the first time.

Sorghum, millet and glutinous rice
 being together in harmony.

Sweet peacefulness.

Ah~

There is  
no mind that likes what I am and dislikes what I am not,

no mind that hopes others do the way I like. 

It has all disappeared.

There is no hate, and no greed. 

Filled only with  

transparent, round, 

clear mind.  

The sound of birds 

resonating clearly 

in a small forest deepened.

One grain of rice.

One devoted mind of farmers.

One wisdom of nature.

Thank you.

Tips

It becomes a healthy sweet dessert if we mix it with dark soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil: Rice for two, 2 tbsp dark soy sauce, 1 tbsp sugar (or more, as we like), 1/2 tsp sesame oil. 

Eating sorghum, millet with brown rice improves scalp and hair condition. 
Some experts say that it makes hairs grow back. Oh Yes! :-) 

Do

It is dazzling.

Leaves are dancing, glittering

in the blue sky light and the wind.

The soft and scented chair

that mum has made.

Let the body loosen up and

breathe comfortably and

quietly calm the mind. 

With a grateful heart.

Listen 

 deeply, 
brightly.

The eyes that stay in one place.

Do.

Over and over again.

Continuously.

Without missing a day.

Do.

Once a day. 

The one thing 
that needs to be accomplished,
    no matter what.    

Keep looking after

The sound of rain heard for a few nights.

Acacia trees on a hill already flowering in white.

Flower rings made by mum on my fingers.

The deep sweet scent of acacia embracing me. 

A radiant smile they bring.

It takes away uneasiness. 

 One mind,
one smile

changes everything.

Look,

this world is yours 
at any time.

With hands wide open, run outside.

Share a bright hello.

Keep looking after

the clear and deep self,

the leader of all changes.

Without words.

Gentle

My hand lightly put on my heart.

With eyes slowly closed.

Listen. 

A soft wind blowing.

The trees drawing big and round circles.

The flower seeds lightly flying up drawing curves

Ah, it is like dreaming.

Magic.

Bright, bright sun.

Leisurely flowing water.

One bird of love and hope on the heart.

Loved ones. 

In the warm light,

people, animals, nature are all

one.

Rest 

  together.

The mind

Chagall's slight pencil lines and 

a few delicate, simple colours share.  

Kindness

Gentleness.

New days

start like this.

Now.

Here.


"In our life, there is a single colour...
It is the colour of love."  

Marc Chagall
