The traditional wayang theatre -- shadow puppets -- of Java dates back to the 9th century. As we sit in the dark watching the performance, these mythological characters, divine and earthly heroes, gods, kings and warriors, saints and clowns, giants and fantastic animals reveal to us captivating stories of love and justice.
The map of the soul is designed by our lifelong experiences. Between birth and death the soul walks a path through valleys and hills. The challenges of this journey all leave a mark on our soul. Sometimes the journey seems easy, straightforward, while other times quite impossible to accomplish. Sometimes it is a lonely one, sometimes walking and learning hand in hand with others. But we always strive and as the pain of the journey cracks our soul open, this is a precious process of healing and growth. This is where the lights gets in and unites us with the Infinite.
