Sometimes, when she felt beaten by life or overwhelmed with pain, an image of a desert would come to her mind, a place where nothing existed around her. The absence of things would bring her a brief sense of comfort, but it didn’t take long for a feeling of emptiness and terror to set in.
She felt exhausted during those days. One evening, she sat in front of her computer, feeling behind on her tasks and plans, lacking motivation. From her window, she saw some birds feeding their baby chicks in their nest. She felt so envious of them. They didn’t need motivation; they were always nurturing and caring.
She closed her eyes and found herself in the desert again. She took a deep breath and looked around. "Why this place?" she asked herself. Perhaps it was because there was nothing to desire or anyone to compare herself to, which brought a sense of relief. But this time, she chose to push that image away. Now, she was in the darkness again. She tried to let go of the suffering. She imagined herself as blessed and whole. Suddenly, she found herself standing before an unusual waterfall. It resembled a classic waterfall, but instead of water, millions of silver coins were pouring down. Upon seeing this, a sense of abundance surged through her veins. She could have picked up as many coins as she wanted, but somehow, she didn’t feel the need to. It was a good place to be.
