The End of Longing Should Be the Beginning of a Great Dream

The sky shines so brilliantly blue above us, doesn’t it? How could we possibly turn away with an empty heart? Mother, who resembles the heavens themselves, held one small wish for me close to her chest. If we cast aside the things that need to be let go, that great dream will finally belong to you.

The boundless, profound grace of the parents who gave us life and raised us is even deeper and wider than the sea. This season always makes me pause and reflect: Have I truly been living with constant gratitude for that grace in my heart? Even if we carry just the tiniest drop of such thankful feeling within us, we can live with a generous and spacious heart in this world. And one day, true greatness will quietly draw near to us. How beautiful would it be to greet the Lunar New Year holiday filled with exactly that kind of gratitude?
