After the last two grueling years I have noticed a calm in the energy, almost as though we have turned a corner into a New Year that has as its signposts both Love and Compassion.
Lord Buddha represents these qualities to me, as does Kwan Yin. In fact, Kwan Yin and Lord Buddha were quite prevalent in my life over the two years that I lived in Thailand. In every forest grotto you would see h0mage paid to Lord Buddha and Kwan Yin, through statues and flowers or through the orange robes of the monks that wound themselves around trees, to protect them.
Sukhothai, as seen in this picture, was a place that I knew quite well, and now all these years later I remember that we arrived as a group in those ancient ruins just as the sun rose. My heart beat quickly as there was no doubt in my mind that I had been here before.
I knew every pathway, every building and every statue.
And I always remember the power of Lord Buddha's smile, that welcoming smile of Love and Compassion that we absolutely need to show ourselves now, and all others.
