There's no beginning and no end. I will never die. There will be a dissolution of this body, but that does not mean my death.
I will continue, always.
(Thich Nhat Hanh)
I shall be forever grateful for Thay's wisdom and its transformative influence in my life's journey.
There was a time in which I could not truly express my own true self to those I love. I was utterly confused, too much noise, expectations, conditioning.
I was reading about the meaning of love, why we need love?, differentiating and identifying the various manners in which we express and identify with love; in essence, what I was truly looking -I now understand- was how to be my own true self.
I was actually desperately wanting to be love.
In that quest, and responding to my intention, the teacher arrived in the form of Thay through the wisdom that he shares in his book True Love.
He helped me remember that being love is as simple -and it is certainly not- as being our own true selves.
That requires us to be there, being present, being here and now, everyday, all the time.
That requires revolutionary love to change our way of live, because our live depends on it, and it depends only on what we ourselves do about it.
I found that more relevant than understanding what is love? or how to love? we must decide whether we are willing to truly be love; that is, if we are willing to do what it takes for us to be fully present here and now.
By being present, here and now, we are love. As simple as that.
My gift is to be here for you, to really be here for you.
My whole self, my full self, my own self, fully, truly and really present, is here and now, for you.
This is one of the lessons I received from Thay, this lesson marked my life and shall, in effect, continue always with me. For this I shall always be grateful.
This self-realisation has allowed me to open my being to different manners to experience live and love, forever repeating from within the mantra:
Dearest one,
I am here for you,
I am really here for you.
I hereby honour Thay's wisdom through his passage in this plane, having transcended this plane of consciousness, sharing his wisdom with all you, ultimately, being here for you.
I am Love.
We are Love
We are one.
