How can I be more open to life’s moments?

How can I be more open to life’s moments?

I see this question from the moderator(s) as a direct reference to the “Daily Word” quoting to wonderful Persian poet Hafiz.

“I wish I could show you, when you are lonely or in darkness, the astonishing light of your own being!”
HAFIZ

As the anonomise person (below) has use the “light a candle” as their method of staying open….I an Essene say YES! to that example. ( and what an ancient and Universal method it is). Besides the breathing technics , also mentioned below …….

if one makes it a conscious habit to develop the natural ability of observing / witnessing one’s own “Internal Light” ( and the candle flame is a perfect starting point / reminder / of that “Internal light” ) one quickly burns away the persistent veils which blur ones vision of the beauty which is always ‘there’ before our very eyes …thereby….. and again and again, stay more open to “Life’s Moments”

This awareness of one’s “Internal Light” is a constant theme in all of Hafiz’s poetry …”The Vintage Artist” is but one good example.

THE VINTAGE ARTIST

The Difference

Between a good artist

And a great one

Is that the novelist

Will often lay down his tool or brush

Then pick up an invisible club On the mind’s table

And helplessly smash the easels and Jade.

Whereas the vintage artist

No longer hurts himself or anyone

and keeps on sculpting
