The world is full of jewelry. I want to give you a handful of these jewels. Every moment of your life is a jewel, shining and full of earth and sky, water and clouds.
You just have to breathe quietly for the miracles to unfold. Suddenly you will hear birdsong, rustling pine trees, see blooming flowers, blue sky, white clouds, the smile and magical beauty of your loved ones.
You are the richest creature on earth ever to go around begging for alms. Stop being an abandoned child. Go back and claim your inheritance. We should enjoy our happiness and share it with others. Appreciate the present moment. Leave the deluge of disappointments and embrace life to the fullest.
