The kind of love

Received the following email and sharing it with you:


"Grace Yang is Amazing

I have seen her in the news on Taiwan TV.

She plays piano and paints with her feet, becuase she has no arms.

How would someone embrace you if she has no arms? You feel so touched by hearing how joyful she is so you embrace her.

She has no father, so a priest took her in so she found love, not the kind based on need or desire.

The kind of love I wished you last Christmas, the kind which you want to last.

(Postscript: i saw a young man writing chinese caligraphy outside Causeway Bay Sogo tonight - no arms, with his brush tied to his head, the characters facing you - i.e. turned around. Now can anyone say he's too busy practising anything?) "

Lung Zhi responses:

We need more compassion and metta kind of love in this world, not the kind based on desire and need.
