In Gratitude

This blog is about a shocking turn of events regarding Aisho, (meaning Radiant Love in Japanese.) After an exquisite series of Aisho Retreats with Yuki Kaory and me, in Sydney, Norway and Sweden, Yuki Kaory announced she would like to let go of the Aisho Project and focus on her individual work. The combination of our work was simply amazing on every level. It was a unique vision, combining East and West, Yin and Yang, Sun and Moon, Tantra and Transcendence. We had a very positive response from people all over the world each time we did a retreat together. The transformation, which was manifesting, was awe inspiring.

Of course, the question on everyone’s mind is, “why did Uezu San drop Aisho?” Strangely enough, she didn’t explain why. So all explanations are only conjecture. One of the basic truths I have learned is; love does not try to change a person, but rather accepts this person as he or she is. And so it is that when she announced she was letting go of our combined work, I searched in my heart, and found only gratitude for what we had shared. I wrote a poem and read it to him.

We then did our last healing circle together which was deeper than ever. Afterwards, people were commenting how deeply touched they were by the healing, and Uezu San commented, “It is the combination of yin and yang which makes it so powerful. This transformation will be with you forever.” When he was leaving, I wept in his arms. And that was it. Below, I offer the poem I wrote for him, and by so doing, I invite you to peek into my heart and soul.

Beloved

Lion of God
You are divinely wild
To be near you is to know heaven while on earth
Your voice echoes in the inner sanctum of my heart
Calling me to be Love, each moment
With your touch
You tune my instrument to the sound of the universe
And the strings of my soul vibrate in ecstasy
Together
We have known the merging of sun and moon
And the delicate flower
Born of the union of East and West
We have tasted the nectar of working as one
And beyond all this
My lord,
It is you
Who has given me the ultimate gift
It is your touch
Your presence
Your magic
Which has opened me all the way to source
In that moment of sublime surrender
I abandoned all of my being
Into your hands, the hands of God
And remain,
In deepest gratitude
And in radiant love
Thank you for being
Thank you for sharing
Thank you for your courage

Love,
Sarita
