"The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image. If in loving them we do not love what they are, but only their potential likeness to ourselves, then we do not love them: we only love the reflection of ourselves we find in them."
--Thomas Merton "愛一個人的開始，應鼓勵對方表現最真實一面，而不是扭曲對方來迎合自己的幻想。如根本不愛對方的本性，而愛潛在喜歡的可能性，那麼就是說你愛的不是這個人：而是對方身上反射出來那自己的倒影" --湯瑪斯.莫頓

If thoughts are seen to be the "subject" in Art, the in-between thoughts would be the "negative space" or the "background". Meditation is an acquired skill to learn to see the negative space as well as looking at the subject the way it is, to be consciously aware of the perceptions we forced onto them that limit us. New horizons, ideas and opportunities opens up when we train the mind to see the "unseen" and to see the "seen" with no judgement, and see what others otherwise cannot see🎈
留白，是藝術課中常遇到的詞彙，意思是一切非構圖實體部份。如果把大腦中浮現的想法看成實體，留白就好比想法與想法之間的空隙。冥想，是鍛鍊大腦集中及創新的技能，讓我們放下固有觀念束縛，從新欣賞到看不到的留白和看得到的實體，開發大腦無限潛能！ Let there be room for not knowing. When things fall apart, have courage to keep your eyes open, your heart open and your mind open like a true warrior...when we stop watering the negative seeds, that's when we notice the endless opportunities in every moment
試給「未知數」一些空間，當世事不盡人意時，提出真正勇者無懼的精神，正視它，以開放的心和不批判的思維面對它。當我們不再餵養內心負面情緒的種子時，就會發現每一分一秒都是無盡的可能性而不是絆腳石🎈 To those who are grieving, I offer you my good thoughts and the quote by Sogyal Rinpoche in Tibetan Book of Living and Dying "Think of your ordinary emotional, thought-ridden self as a block of ice or a slab of butter left out in the sun. If you are feeling hard and cold, let this aggression melt away in the sunlight of your meditation. Let peace work on you, gather your scattered mind into the mindfulness of Calm Abiding, and awaken in you the awareness and insight of Clear Seeing. And you will find all your negativity disarmed, your aggression dissolved, and your confusion evaporating slowly like mist into the vast and stainless sky of your absolute nature...
給和我一樣，曾經失去過的人，願您和我一起試把自己的心疼，如冰封了⋯麻木冰冷的心，想像成一大冰塊的狀態，冥想時讓心靈發出太陽般的光芒和溫暖，以慈悲祥和的愛照耀它、融化它，回歸平和狀態. |
