🦋 Sending love to my beautiful Aunt🌷

|
Hello again, Aunt Ying
You know…I can still feel your presence whenever I see a butterfly, especially those bright lovely ones.
It was you, isn’t it, Aunty, on that fine morning in early October? You were resting on the front gate for at least fifteen minutes. I was pleasantly surprised by the visit of this lovely butterfly. Its wings were bright yellow and orange at the side and the rest was grey. It looks like a butterfly on a canvas with more painting to be done.
I believe the shades of grey on its wings is a message that there will be storms in this life. And may we find the strength to overcome and feel comforted knowing that no storm will last forever.
I would like to think that your brief visit that day is to show us that you’re still near, thinking about us and watching over us. It’s also a reminder of the fragile short life we have here on earth.
And one day each of us will leave this earthly life behind and fly away like a butterfly. Another gentle reminder to count life in each and every moment and make the most of it.
I want you to know that seven years on, your spirit is still very much alive in my heart. I remember and will always be grateful for your warm welcome when I visited you (I wish I had visited you more often), for checking in on me when you didn’t hear from me for a while, for sharing your thoughts and opinions, for listening without judgment, but most of all for just being you, a beautiful aunt and friend.
Till we meet again as butterflies! ❤️

10 memorable quotes by Thich Nhat Hanh, the father of mindfulness:
Thich Nhat Hanh [11.10.26 – 22.1.22]

“Because you are alive, everything is possible.”
“To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.”
“Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet.”
“Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything – anger, anxiety, or possessions – we cannot be free.”
“The source of love is deep in us and we can help others realize a lot of happiness. One word, one action, one thought can reduce another person’s suffering and bring that person joy.”
“If love is in our hears, every thought, word and deed can bring about a miracle. Because understanding is the very foundation of love, words and actions that emerge from our love are always helpful.”
“When we are mindful, deeply in touch with the present moment, our understanding of what is going on deepens, and we begin to be filled with acceptance, joy, peace and love.”
“Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves – slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future.”
“For things to reveal themselves to us, we need to be ready to abandon our views about them.”
“It is my conviction that there is no way to peace – peace is the way.”
