Monika's weekly inner voice drawings:
Q: What is today's wisdom?
A: Take care of yourself and others with a joyful heart!
"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around."
- Leo F. Buscaglia
"So when you are listening to somebody, completely, attentively, then you are listening not only to the words, but also the feeling of what is being conveyed, to the whole of it, not part of it."
- Jiddu Krishnamurti

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.
