I was inspired to write these song lyrics one early morning as I did meditation. I hope they inspire you for the coming year.
Use emotions like paints.
As though you are painting a picture.
The way your soul flows,
the way it trembles, the way it feels.
All of the emotions—
love, gladness, sorrow, loneliness, fear, solitude, despair, hope . . .
make use of everything.
Express yourself the way you apply colors to a painting.
Whatever your soul reflects for you,
whatever your soul dreams.
Do not, however,
flounder in your emotions,
but breathe always.
Breathe with your soul
and see with the eyes of your soul.
Then, even in the midst of countless emotions,
you will not lose yourself,
and you will experience true freedom
and transcendent peace and bliss.
That is what recovering the zero point is,
and it is the way to
attain absolute value.
That is the way to using your brain to its fullest potential.
If you think and live this way,
your life becomes a work of art,
and even birth and death become a work of art.
Life is short, and Art is long.
This is the path to an immortal soul!
