Everything Will Be Okay

After a long day of navigating life's challenges, join me, as I
share a gentle tale that promises to inspire and shift your
perspective. Imagine a young monk named Shen, grappling with the
weight of his failures, only to discover through the wisdom of
his Master Wang that each sunset in life is followed by a dawn.
This soothing parable from "The Zen Monkey and the Lotus Flower"
by Tenpa Yeshe serves as a poignant reminder that our setbacks
are not the end, but rather a prelude to new beginnings. Allow
Shen’s journey to be your own, as you embrace the natural cycles
of life and learn to release the burdens of your past.

As we sit together on this metaphorical cliff, overlooking the
sun setting in a riot of reds and golds, I invite you to reflect
on your own darkness and anticipate the dawn that inevitably
follows. Through the story of Shen and his master, find solace in
the regularity of nature’s rhythms—knowing that, just like the
sunrise and sunset, your capacity for growth and renewal is a
constant. Let this narrative guide you toward peace and joy, as
we remember to live in the moment and cherish the assurance that,
after every ending, a fresh start awaits. Thank you for
listening, and may you find safety, health, and light in each new
day.
