Motivation Monday
Time to face our fate and peer down into what lies in the deep below
PS. There has been this weird phrase I am seeing again and again today, since this morning and the phrase is: Turning Point, or imagine the wheels of train and it is turning, because there is a big turning point; that's it, face the fate of turning points
PPS. While I was writing about the wheels and turning points, the ruler that makes circles I ordered online came, weird synchronicity eh?
Actually, synchronicity is now a very very usual part of my life haha, I used to get amused by this a lot before but now, it has become so commonplace that I collect synchronicity every single day haha <3
Happy Monday

Repentance and Vows
Finally, I know my three personal vows and they have gotten clearer and clearer.
I could finally make genuine and authentic vows with direction, breaking free from the chains of murkiness and wrong decisions from youth. I have lived the last 15 years in excess and in satisfying desires ~ especially about seeking wealth, spending most of my time sleeping or resting, quenching physical needs, not fully living up to my commitments and responsibility, running away from responsibilities once they become too heavy and unbearable, not following up on my vows - they are just promises not fulfilled.
Looking back and reflecting on my past, I was not so proud of it, I was damaged and sick (emotionally, physically, psychologically, mentally, spiritually) seemingly unworthy. I started an ideal in my mind, expectations that I grew inside my mind and my body and my soul; setting up goals from a very worldly perspective. The world of achievement, social recognition, fame, not knowing that these dreams and goals are not really worth having in the long run.
It took a long time to realize that I was sick (soul-sick, psychologically and mentally and most of all spiritually) and that I didn't realize I needed a community to save me and heal me, but life is very kind and faithful and loving, those woes I have recognized and even haven't recognized are known by life, each and every single one of them. So, in the deep darkness of ocean of sickness, I flailed, I tried to swim but then I drowned and then in the darkness, I was so lost and confused. Turning my back on the dream that really didn't support my development as a human being. Then as the dream vanish, my direction also vanished.
Maybe my parents' prayers and support really work. I found Tzu Chi or should I say Tzu Chi found me. I am very blessed to be given a Spiritual Master. I am very blessed. Finding a very strong spiritual support is my blessing and I will forever and eternally be grateful to their strong solid support. Finding Tzu Chi is just the beginning of my healing. Just maybe the start to half of the story. Of course, there is the process of healing and oh my, did I fail every time in fulfilling my obligations and responsibilities!
The lifestyle of Tzu Chi was something of a big life adjustment to me. Very very big adjustment. I was under the care and supervision of my achi. Being a very stubborn young woman, I never listened to her and never really paid much attention to all her guidance and direction. Looking back, I was ashamed and filled with self-disappointment. I really wasted my opportunity in valuing her guidance. I was terrible. I couldn't even go to work for a full week and most of the time I clocked in late. My respect for time and punctual-ness was not there in my early 20s, I was polluted by mindset and poison of college-centric ego.
I didn't even know how my achi got the strength and patience to welcome me in the office when I got there late or when I came back from long habitual absences. I know the feeling. I know the darkness. I know self-doubt and I know being irresponsible. I admit I was that bad before. I deeply deeply repent to my achi for breaking her trust and for breaking her heart, all the time.
I also didn't finish all the tasks given to me. I just disappear. I just didn't listen to her at all. I didn't have self-respect, how can I expect people to respect me? But my achi, in all her kindness and saint-like patience, she kept on accepting me again and again.
So, yes one of my vows and repentance is about her.
I deeply deeply repent for letting my challenges get the best of me. I deeply repent for all the promises that I didn't deliver. I deeply repent for all the promises that I have abandoned.
Then I vow that I may have the same virtue in keeping the saint-like patience and trust and care to all the people going through heartache, soul-ache, sickness in all its forms. I vow that I may have the virtue of holding on to faith and love when life gets dark and heavy.

Gratitude for the Purple 2023 Planner
As we come to close the lunar cycle for the year 2023, allow me to show you my accomplished diary for 2023, it is also my way of saying goodbye to this wonderful purple 2023 planner which actually was the cover I didn't choose at all, but it was the one I received, so haha, I had to make do with it.
But it proved to be not just a beautiful accident to be in possession of this nicely crafted planner, it came to be one of those notebooks which allowed me to make a lot of wonderful memories and designs in its precious pages.
So, here in my post today, I want to show my designed diary entries from January to May and then August to September, and of course, October to December. Of course, you know where to find the June and July pages in this blog already, so I will not repost anymore.
Here, though I am shy to show you, please allow me to present a labor of love and inspiration, my 2023 diary <3

Visual Journal Entry #15
The Moon is the Timekeeper part 2 |
Today's visual journal is full of circles, representing cycles, which always have beginning, middle and end. As we all know, everything starts from a seed, may it be physical or emotional or psychological, possibly spiritual. Seed in the darkness, deep down, bottom moist darkness. That's where everything starts. And of course, once planted ~ be it in the rich earth, in the heart, in the soul, in the mind, in the psyche ~ the seed with all the elements coming together, or affinities if you may, will grow.
Growth is the physical manifestation of seed, it can take up form, like a plant, tree, the structure of the house, anything that exists, it has a form, it has a shape, it is with scope and limitation, thus it has edges and corners.
Then of course, growth is subject to time, in Greek myths, time is a male. He is a male god, called Chronos, he devours his own children, in mythological speak, it means all his children will die because all forms have to end. Before death, growth will have to go through many stages - birth, struggles of existence and then of course the decay, eventually there is death.
Death is not the ending. It is merely another stage in the cycle of existence.
Beyond death is formlessness.
Then, in the formlessness, there will be a moment where the seed will be conceived again, thus beginning another cycle, another existence.
But of course, as I have touched upon the topic of Greek myth, there is Chronos as mentioned earlier, then there is Kairos, the other dimension of time. Chronos is the quantitative part of time while Kairos is the qualitative part of time. Kairos is the mystical, higher expression/dimension of time, the right moment, the opportune time, as they say in religious world the 'god-appointed time'.
So, in my visual journal we can see the sun ruling the upper (light) world and the moon in its varied stages. Sun and moon have been used since the ancient period to measure time ~ sun being male and moon, the female. The female moon, thought to be connected to the underworld, more attuned in the darkness, the timekeeper in the endless blackness. Further, in the visual journal, we can see the ship sailing through the ocean, a woman with flowers walking continuously, leaving us with just a glimpse of her heavenly bouquet, which I love to call the bouquet of grief.
The woman's ink, quill, books, clock and dark flowers welcome us in the foreground of the visual journal, and then to the right bottom part, we can see an eight petaled flower.
The universe is huge and it is governed by so many ancient rules, natural laws and the undefinable magic and mystery that is beyond human knowledge. Let's have faith in living our lives.
A lovely new moon to all of us.

The crazy dark chaotic 11th Lunar Month
In the middle of this indescribable splitting of reality as we know it, in this dark cycle of Virtue of Ending, I find some solace in these words ~
The future has an ancient heart
The sign of the future is here.
I know, I know that we all feel hopeless in the middle of the dark cloud of ending and decay and death, but believe and have faith that the future is coming.
Just look at the sky and feel your heartbeat deep within.
It has already arrived! The future has already arrived.
