Happy Birthday, Dear Sister
Feliz cumpleaños, querida hermana
--por Parag Shah
Feliz cumpleaños querida hermana
Bienvenida al festival de este mundo.
Ruego en silencio en este día,
¡Que se te otorgue el don de la Nada!
Esa la Nada que está llena de espacio,
Como el universo que sostiene esta vida cósmica.
Esa la Nada que reside sin una dirección,
en medio de un mundo por otra parte lleno de tarjetas de visita.
Esa la Nada que no conoce identidad,
pero cuya presencia es suficiente para ser un regalo.
Donde cada zancada es una gracia,
Cada sonrisa es una bendición.
Esa Nada.
La Nada, cuya acción no fluye de lo completo,
sino que es la totalidad en sí misma.
La Nada, cuya esencia no es algo que sea respetado,
pero es la reverencia en sí misma.
La Nada, cuyo amor no está corriendo hacia un destino,
pero es el servicio en sí mismo.
La Nada, cuyo movimiento no necesita paz,
Pero es la quietud en sí misma.
Esa Nada, que no está en relación con los demás,
Sino que es una conexión sin ningún sentido de otra.
Esta Nada es lo que el mundo necesita hoy.
Porque el don de la Nada es el amor de todo,
Y el amor de todo es un regalo de la Nada.
Feliz cumpleaños querida hermana
Ruego en silencio en este día,
¡Que se te conceda el don de la Nada!

Thank you. Celebrated my 50th birthday on September 3rd by attending healing arts workshops all weekend. We explored nothingness, being fully present to the moment and to each other. To me nothingness is that sacred space where we realize we are enough simply in our existence and everyone around us is enough too. Experienced that so many times this weekend where all the noise disappeared and I felt at one in the moment and grounded and settled in. I felt enough. Breathing and focusing on being helps me stay rooted. Sometimes listening to water helps too or rain. <3

" "Nothingness" does not mean emptiness or big void. It is a strong feeling when only one thing is experienced. When things get beyond our ability to cope with or change our situation, then we surrender to the almighty. At that moment we experience this unique, unified state of oneness with the flow of life. That I'd say is "Nothingness ".

Nothingness means no thingness, that is, pure being, pure process. pre-form, pre-manifest. The closest I've come to Nothingness is brief moments of being very much in the present with no attachment to thoughts, agendas, goals, or tasks. Such brief times have been experiences of intimacy such as while alone in meditation or in relationship with another. Such moments also occur when I am fully in the process of living and relating and not focused on outcome. Such moments are very alive. We are all rooted in Nothingness, though often not aware of it or respectful of it. Awareness of Nothingness, awareness of our rootedness in Nothingness, and brief experiences in Nothingness make for being in this world but not of it, and that awareness at least helps me stay rooted in awareness of Nothingness.
