January 2023: The Lotus of The Heart

 

Reflection on the Quote:

A message from Dr. Fariba Enteshari, Founder & Executive Director

Our inner heart is the place that holds our truth and its fragrance is, like our DNA, unique. Uncovering the truth hidden within our inner hearts is a life long journey.

For 2023, I envision a time that we unfold the lotus of our heart to spread the gifts of our spirit. With each expansion may we shine the light that we can be to this world.

May hope prevail against the sadness and suffering of all ills.

May the dark moods transform into discovering the secrets of the universe within. 

Happy 2023!

-Dr. Fariba Enteshari

هر گلی کاندر درون بویا بود

آن گل از اسرار کل گویا بود

“Within the fragrance of each flower is wrapped

the secret of the whole universe.”

New Year Evolutions?

Remember to create S P A C E for what truly matters.

 

 

Between the past and the future

is a doorway we call the present.


This moment in time, given again &

again, is a bridge to the always new.


What is waiting, as you step through

the Door between yesterday and

tomorrow, into the Gift of today?


Be willing to let go of every plan,

except the one that is meant for you.

Your heart will know.


Follow it...one day, one step, one

precious moment at a time.
