they say that travelling is about finding yourself and i agree, but i think it's just as important to connect with the people + the land of that place. even though remembering the injustices of thepast makes it difficult to move on, it's important to honour those who've been fighting to survive. so we remember
but not just with sadness - because sadness projects weakness. sadness isn't enough. instead we look with honour in our eyes and pride in our hearts, because we know that overcoming tragedy takes so much strength and self-determination. with that there is no defeat
enlightenment when a boy declares,"my people fought for this land".
that language of sacred herbalism passed down through the winds of trees
+ grit of soil. through voices and flickers of light, telling of
futures over fires inhaling ash and dust... so that we can all share the
one drink.
"Tears are far more beautiful than anything that you have
with you, because tears come from the overflow of your being. Tears are
not necessarily of sadness; sometimes they come out of great joy and
sometimes they come out of great peace and sometimes they come out of
ecstasy and love. In fact they have nothing to do with sadness or
happiness. Anything that stirs your heart too much, anything that takes
possession of you, anything that is too much, that you cannot contain
and it starts overflowing - that brings tears.
Accept them with great joy, relish them, nourish them, welcome them, and through tears you will know how to pray.
Through tears you will know how to see. Tear-filled eyes are capable
of seeing truth. Tear-filled eyes are capable of seeing the beauty of
life and the benediction of it."
--Osho [via Aum]
