For
several years already I am a Eucharistic Minister at The Sacred Heart Cathedral
in Chiang Mai. Since about half a year now also a cantor, singing responsorial
psalms, on a regular base.
Last
Sunday, so just five days before my birthday, I was serving and singing in the
church again. The psalm I was invited to sing said: ‘I praise you, for I am
wonderfully made’. Preparing myself for singing this psalm helped me to think
about this quote. And actually it came up in my mind I fully agree with that
statement.
I am a
process and a product of love. Not a single thing is wrong on and with my
heart, my mind, my soul and my body. No marketing needed to help me to doubt this
lived understanding. So… I am not really good for the economy.
No
changes at all need to be made. And although my body, like every other person,
is aging… my mind and soul are getting younger by the day. My heart is open to
give and receive love and I feel no boundaries for that.
No
regrets about the past. Mistakes were and are lessons, not telling me I am a
mistake. Living life is a lifetime learning process, like learning to walk. An
ongoing process of standing up one more time than falling down to make steps
forwards.
Doing
Kundalini Awareness Yoga, Meditation and some normal workouts on a daily base
help me to feel great and to honor and challenge the temporary temple of my
soul, my body. No punishments or special diets. Managing, and also enjoying the
pleasures of and in, my life. Being together with my girlfriend, like today, drinking
a glass of wine. A beer for instance at the Mae Rim Friday market. Just to enjoy,
no overkill.
No, or at
least as less as possible, negative influences in my life that bother my mind
any longer. Not following the ‘news’ in newspapers, radio and on television.
Being satisfied and happy with what I already have and living by the day. No
need to get ‘more’ or reach goals. Not disturbed anymore by what I thought people
were thinking about me. Publications on the internet, social media, etc.. Just
and only being more and more aware of living my purpose and values of life.
A free
‘puppy’ inside (my inner child) being myself and ongoing feeding and keeping young
and alive all my talents and gifts from Jester to Shaman.
Actually,
I am more than grateful this day again that I understand I am really wonderfully
made and getting younger by the day.
