The path of enlightenment is lonely and narrow for monks at Taktshang Monastery, who take turns meditating alone in a cliffside retreat for three years, three months, three weeks, and three days. Taktshang, the Tiger's Den, is where the great Guru Rimpoche, who first brought Buddhism to Bhutan, is said to have arrived on a flying tiger in the eighth century.

Song of the Last Animal
With eager hunters drawing near
I hugged her more protectively.
She gazed at me with eyes of fear
and whispered her last song to me:
"I'm the last of all the animals
who'll ever live on earth.
The last to feed the cannibals
who ruled our death and birth.
It was rain and sun, thaw and freeze,
it was branches, leaves, and dung,
the sparkling lakes, the buoyant breeze,
which filled the ancient songs we sung.
All those songs, with us, are done,
and only smog and metal wings
will rise up to the sun,
and fly across your silent springs.
For it's been countless bloody seasons
since the humans all arrived
who had their morals and their reasons
which none of us survived.
Who made up for their every lack
by slash-and-burn and massacre,
and ripped the skin right off our backs
because they had no hide or fur.
Who crammed their face-paint in our eyes
because they were ugly and odd,
or took our life in sacrifice
because they sinned against their god.
Who pierced our flesh with lead and hook,
and sentenced innocents to prison,
or stood dumbfounded as they'd look
and never see our sacred vision:
a vision of life without their walls,
of homes, unpaved, uncaged,
of freely running without stalls,
of dying naturally, and aged,
in a world without the dread
of those who called themselves humane
as they'd shoot us in the head
or dine upon our last remains."
Have a wonderful week. Warm love Michelle xoxox
Our deepest Fear is not that we are inadequate,
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our, light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves;
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
People won’t feel insecure around you
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is
Within us
It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone
And, as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give
Other people permission to do the same
As we liberated from our fear, our presence
Automatically liberates others.
Nelson Mandela 1994
Don’t forget to always be your own best friend, love yourself with respect and honour.
