I have been sick since the last week. I don’t know if it is omicron or a cold, but I am sure it is the most beautiful sickness I have been experiencing all my life. Maybe you think I am still sick and I am delusional :D
I rarely get sick, but whenever I was sick, even if it was a very simple headache, it could stop my life. I felt so much frustration and discomfort. Instead of staying in my temple, I used to join the disease army against myself. But this time, experiencing sickness was very different. While I was feeling so bad, I could watch my sickness from outside. I could remember all days I was healthy and become grateful for them. Even I could imagine my happy life after this sickness. This time I did not become one with sickness, I could put a very clear boundary between us.
When we are healthy, our mind is very busy and we need to do meditation to come back to our body. But, while we are sick, we are so connected to our body and no need for meditation to stop our mind. In fact, our minds will take a very deep rest.
This time sickness was full of peaceful moments for me and because of that, I call it beautiful sickness.
I wish you all health and wellness every day of your life, but if you become sick one day, I hope it will be beautiful sickness.
