If we look deeply at a flower
We see there isn’t truly a flower
A flower is made of non flower material
A flower is made of water, soil, nutrients & sunlight
You and I are the same
If we can touch the true reality of things
We see that everything is connected
I am not made of human materials
I am made of water which came from the clouds & rivers
I am made of materials like iron, calcium, zinc
Which were created many billions of years ago in a dying star
I am made of the sun, water & soil
Our life is impermanent on this earth but our matter is infinite
It can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed
If we can touch this true reality, our suffering will vanish in this moment
With aloha,
