in a few hours, I’ll be on a plane to fly to Korea.
Your mother is a daughter born from the ten thousand things (Tao Te Ching), and the ten thousand things live within her.
As she walks this earth, she learns endlessly about all things, tirelessly experiencing what she is meant to understand.
If you can truly see her and accept her as she is, you will find her again and again — in every form, every name, every color you encounter.
But if she seems confusing or strange to you, then perhaps you will have to seek her again through life’s challenges.
We are all becoming — from the moment we are born until our final breath.
So, do not struggle to be someone or become something.
We struggle only because we judge ourselves — wanting to be this, or not wanting to be that.
I hope you will find the strength and courage to meet your Self with honesty and truth.
Every encounter will offer you a chance to see your Self — in each person, each moment, each circumstance.
Take it. Feel it. Embrace it. Make it yours.
And through it, discover who you truly are.
When you connect with your true Self, you will begin to see your own path unfold before you.
Hope and dreams may walk beside you — but do not depend on them, for they are born from within your own being.
Stay grounded. Look around.
Feel your breath.
Go deep into your heart, and let your spirit run wild and free.
With love, your mother
