A TOUCHING LIZARD STORY
PREFACE
Reflection 1
Love is boundless. Get rid of self-gaining thoughts.
Reflection 2
Even small lizards can show such complex relationships - what about pigs, cows, chickens, fish et cetera? Hope you may give it some thought.
UNTIRING LOVE
This is a true story in Japan.
In order to renovate the house, some men tear open the wall. They find a lizard stuck on a wooden wall because a nail has been hammered into one of its feet.
But guess what? The lizard is still alive. It has survived in such a position for 10 years. How is it possible that this lizard survived for 10 years without moving a single step since its foot has been nailed?
So they stop their work and observe the lizard, what it has been doing, and what and how it has been eating.
Later, another lizard, with food in its mouth appears.
The workmen were stunned and touched deeply. Another lizard has been feeding it for the past ten years.
Such a beautiful love! Such love happens even with this tiny creature ... What can love do? It can do wonders! Love can do miracles! Imagine it has been doing this untiringly for 10 long years, without giving up hope on its partner.
What about the relationships between family members, friends, lovers, brothers, sisters?
As information and communication technology advances, our access to information becomes faster and faster. But the distance between human beings . . . is it getting closer as well?
I ask you . . . please never abandon your loved ones.
LOVE is a gift, take it and let it grow.
LOVE is a sign we should wear, let it show.
LOVE is an act, do it, let it go.
