The Universe Is Smiling: "Love"

Happy VALENTINE'S week. Let's spread some love - with a smile :)

"Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead."
- Oscar Wilde
"I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear."
 - Martin Luther King
"Where there is love there is life."
- Mahatma Gandhi

The Universe Is Smiling: "Reflection"

Q: What is today's wisdom?
A: Take time out to relax and reflect.
 "If you use your mind to try and understand reality, you will understand neither your mind nor reality.
If you try and understand reality without using your mind, you will understand both your mind and reality."
- Bodhidharma

The Universe Is Smiling: "Story Time"

Q: What is today's wisdom?
A: It's time for a story :)
"Listen to this the story...," said the Mouse. 
" Upon meeting a Zen Master at a social event, a psychiatrist decided to ask him a question that had been on his mind. 'Exactly how do you help people?' he asked. 'I get them where they can't ask any more questions', the Master answered."
story quoted from 8 Zen Master Stories

The Universe Is Smiling: "Zen Story"

Monika's weekly inner voice drawings:
 Mr. Mouse, a wise teacher was telling a Zen story to his student, the cat:
"One day while walking through the wilderness a man stumbled upon a vicious tiger. He ran but soon came to the edge of a high cliff. Desperate to save himself, he climbed down a vine and dangled over the fatal precipice.
As he hung there, two mice appeared from a hole in the cliff and began gnawing on the vine.
 Suddenly he noticed on the vine a plum wild strawberry. He plucked it and popped it in his mouth. It was incredibly delicious!"
"What do you think," said the mouse, "is this story teaching us?"
The cat is still pondering the question and if you can come up with the answer (there may be more than one) let her know and write a comment.
