 Depression can be a perfectly normal reaction to facing a complex problem, research suggests.

Rather than being an abnormal condition, aspects of depression are actually highly adaptive.

Being depressed involves devoting time and energy to thinking about the problem, trying to understand its causes and generating possible solutions.

Part 1 of the book, “Kokoro,” focuses on the heart and mind. It is about what drives us to do what we do (ikigai) and what brings us joy; the beauty of change (wabi-sabi) and of the passing of time; and finding beauty in imperfection and celebrating the hardships and moments that shape us (kintsugi). Part 2, “Karada,” is all about the body: how we engage with our surroundings (through forest bathing, flower arranging, and in the home); how we nourish it (through

food, tea, and bathing); and how we stimulate our minds (through calligraphy). Finally, part 3, “Shukanka” (developing the habit), is about finding ways in which these can all be incorporated into our day-to-day lives and become second nature or routine.

FIRE OF GOD

When the Fire of God begins to rise, In that moment of Truth you’ll find, Those who walk through the fire, Become future Saviors.........in time.

Now there are no painful memories, Standing in your way.

When the fire of God revealed the Truth, It cleansed you.........on that day.

Free at last in the Silence......... Knowing you were always that way. Was there ever a time you didn’t know, HE was in your life to stay?

You must walk through the fire of God,

To know eternal Truth.

His flames burn away your concepts, Leaving nothing.........but scorched roots. Once gone through the Fire of God,

You have no fear attached.

Fire burns away all impurities, Now.........God and you are matched...........
