May your awakenings awaken you, by Daniel Karpuj.

May your awakenings awaken you. 

And that, when you wake up, the day you start you get excited.

And may the rays of the Sun that filter through your window, in each new dawn, never become routine.

And that you have the lucidity to concentrate and rescue the most positive of each person who crosses your path.

And do not forget to savor the food, carefully, even if “only” it is bread and water.

And that you find some moment during the day, even if it is short and brief, to raise your gaze to the High and to thank, by the miracle of health, that mysterious and fantastic internal balance.

And that you can express the love you feel for your loved ones.

And that your hugs, embrace.

And that your kisses, kiss.

And may the sunsets surprise you, and never stop wondering.

And that you arrive tired and satisfied at nightfall, for the satisfactory task performed during the day.

And that your dream is calm, repairing, and without frights.

And do not confuse your work with your life, nor the value of things, with their price.

And do not believe more than anyone, because only the ignorant know that we are nothing but dust and ashes.

And do not forget, not for a moment, that every second of life is a gift, a gift, and that, if we were really brave, we should dance and sing with joy as we become aware of it.

As a tiny tribute to the mystery of Life, which welcomes us, embraces us and blesses us.

Daniel Karpuj.

I wish you enough (Bob Perks)

Recently I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport.

Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the mother said "I love you and I wish you enough." The daughter replied, "Mom, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Mom." They kissed and the daughter left.

The mother walked over to the window where I was seated. I asked her, "When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say 'I wish you enough'. May I ask what that means?" She began to smile. "That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone".

She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail and she smiled even more. "When we said 'I wish you enough' we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them". Then turning toward me she shared the following as if she were reciting it from memory:

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.

I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.
