Master Yun: Celebrate Even In Our Darkest Moments

 

Are you feeling, trapped in darkness now?

You are not alone.

And yes, we should strive to find light in darkness.

Light in darkness, that's a feature of Master Yun's fengshui painting.

First revealed to the world during April 2017's exhibition at ION Orchard, I remembered, when the lights went off, everyone went WOW.

 

In darkness, we see the peacocks and peonies transform into stars and milky ways. If you were surrounded by Master Yun's paintings, you might feel as if you are in space. And the universe is within your grasp.

But this is more than just technique; there is an idea behind the strokes.

It's part of Celebrationism.

 

In fact, if you can understand this feature, it will deepen your comprehension of Celebrationism.

Yes, it's about seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

And more.

There can't be light without darkness. And there can't be darkness without light.

The sun shines, so there are shadows. Night falls, and the stars are beautiful.

They are not relative; they are relational.

 

Master Yun wrote some time back: "Celebration is akin to the day, while dreams are akin to the night. Day and night, while not visible together, are inseparable from each other. Celebration fuels our dreams and our dreams give reasons to our celebrations." (https://bit.ly/2y2Otuv)

Perhaps there is something we can achieve in this darkness.

Perhaps it might push us to try new things, new ways, and that might just lead to a new universe.

Perhaps it is the period when we spend more time meditating (which...might be a form of dreaming?), connect better with our Lotus collections, and the universe beyond...

 

Master Yun even went on: "Dreaming isn’t just exclusive to darkness, and we ought to be able to celebrate even in our darkest moments."

Wake up again with a smile. Start planting seeds of great fortune, especially in darkness.
