A Boy Hugging a Girl In the Rain Lightly Last night walking up a slope to home, I saw a boy hugging a girl in the rain, under the street lamp. Dim light on them, rising up toes, they hugged gently, very light, as light as the drizzle. It's a beautiful scene. It's beautiful because their hug's light. The pair of little hearts were just enjoying that moment, feeling like a hug before going home separately. No expectation, no caculation, no speculation, no sense of Love, perhaps. They carried nothing, they were light. In the rain, some people may make their crying for non-understanding, for parting, as I did once with the heavy rains pounding on me. But, this night, lightness made this pair enjoy the most and hence depicted the most beauty of a hug. It enlightened me. Coincidently, before I encountered this light hug, I'd had myself an experience of how good lightness will do. Wow! Wow! Wow! For the first time I swam across a standard pool, which before I thought I would never make. But I made it last night. (All good things just happened in one night!) Why? Because I put myself as light as possilbe on the water, not only the body but also the mind. A friend, a very good water-player (not swimmer), told me under water after seeing my swimming, "It's very important to use the idea of being light in swimming, both body and mind." I closed my eyes and summoned up the feel of lightness and swam. It's true. I felt Relieved in water, I played w/ water, I swam like a small light tadpole. I forgot abt the swimming skills as to how to stroke and breath, I did not exhauste myself in swimming actions. Just being light and swim. The water wrapped me in, lifted me up and I was as light as a flowing petal on the water. I reached the other side for the first time in my life. I swam on, effortlessly, lightly achieved many goals I never would have before. Oh. Inspirational enlightenment is absolutely worthy than 10 years practising w/o guideline. Friends, be light in every matter, should it be heavy or light. You'll gain.
