What MUNAY LOVE Means

Mama Gaia is always in our hearts

Hathor Beings

Dear Mama Gaia, 

That afternoon when we visited the Philae Temple of Isis in Aswan, we were shown the twelve columns of the Hathors’ faces. Some looked sadder and some looked happier. I asked you why they would feel both sadness and happiness too. You didn’t explain, but gave me this poem to ponder:

“You are not a drop in the ocean;
you are the entire ocean in a drop.”
– Rumi

I know the ocean is YOU, Mama; and I am one of these tiny raindrops that you have shown me in that dream. The dream that explained what the Flower of Life means. My heart is also certain about one other thing: If I can feel tremendous joy whenever you guide me to draw the Flower of Life drawing, you must have always felt my sadness whenever I cry. That must also be what MUNAY LOVE means, Mama. You experience everything with us on Earth, because you are always in our hearts.

LOVE,
Irene
(your dearest daughter in your heart)

p.s. The Hathor’s face shown here is not from the Philae Temple of Isis, but the Dendera Temple of Hathor. I love this one because she has a happy face. 


親愛的蓋婭母親,

那日下午,我們在阿斯旺參觀愛神艾西斯的菲萊神廟,看到雕刻了古埃及女神哈索爾面孔的十二石柱,有些面孔看起來較傷感,有些看起來較快樂。我問妳她們為何感到又傷感又快樂。妳沒有解釋,只分享了這首詩,讓我細嚼沉思:

你不是汪洋裏的一滴
你這一滴便是整個汪洋
— Rumi

我知道,汪洋便是妳,媽媽,而妳在夢中讓我看見的雨點,我便是其中小小的一滴。那個解釋了生命之花的意義的夢。還有一件事我是深信不移的:當妳指引我繪畫生命之花圖案的時候,若我感受到無窮喜悅,那麼當我哭泣時,妳也一定感受到我的傷痛吧。那一定也是MUNAY LOVE的真諦。媽媽,妳和我們在地球經歷一切一切,是因為妳一直在我們心裏。

LOVE,
Irene
(妳心中最珍愛的女兒)

備註:這相片的哈索爾面孔並不是來自愛神艾西斯的菲萊神廟,而是來自哈索爾的丹達臘神廟。我喜歡這個,因為她是張快樂的臉。
