「週に一度の夜の会」も一年を迎えました。ここでようやく「智慧研」という名前に落ち着きそうです。ちょっぴり堅苦しそうな名前ですが、昨夜は年末年始間近、ということで宴の企画にかなりの時間を割きました。
宴ってすごい智慧ですね。長い冬を越すためだったり、精神リフレッシュだったり、昔からの慣習を今に伝える機会だったり。。。「他人同士集まって一緒に飲んで食べる」というのが大きいのでしょうね。
と「智慧」と「宴」を結び付けてみたり。。。
ちょっと無理がありますか。。。。。
以下参加者四人が引いたカードです。
Don Miguel Ruizがまとめた古代メキシコToltecの智慧集より
Be Impeccable With your Word
Create a Beautiful Dream
Your word can create the most beautiful dream, or your word can destroy everything around you. Impeccability of the word only creates beauty, love and heaven on earth.
Don't Make Assumptions
Say goodbye to sadness and drama
All the sadness and drama you have lived in your life was rooted in making assumptions and taking things personally. The whole world of control between humans is based on that. Take a moment and consider this.
Play like a child
The happiest moments in your life are when you are playing just like a child, when you are singing and dancing, when you are exploring and creating just for fun. It is wonderful when you behave like a child, because this is the normal human tendency.
Don't Take Anything Personally
Transform your life
When you refuse to take things personally, you avoid many upsets in your life. Your feelings of anger, jealousy-and even your sadness-will simply disappear if you don't take things personally.
