The Master knocked the arrow as the student watched in careful silence.
In an effortless process, The Master drew the arrow, paused, and let it loose.
With a snap, the arrow penetrated the center of the bull’s eye.
The Master repeated the ritual a second and a third time.
The result was the same each time - dead center bull’s eye.
Unable to control himself the student exclaimed with praise: “Master, that’s incredible! You’re a great shot!”
The Master finished his breath and without looking at the student he replied: “It’s true, all of the arrows hit the mark. But I cannot take credit. You see, my eyes were closed.”

The energy of life is all around us and runs through us.
It connects us with life, past, present, and yet to come.
We cannot contain this energy any more than we can contain the energy of a flowing river by scooping up a portion of it in our hands.
But, we only need to accept and listen to the message of our “Life’s Connection” and we will achieve everything we were meant to accomplish.
