How time flies! One minute you are 30 years old and in a moment of blinking one's eyes, you discover you are 60 years old.
That is what is happening to Phyllis Furumoto tomorrow, Friday August 22, 2008. How has she chosen to celebrate this grand event? I was on the phone with her, this am, to wish her a Happy Birthday and to hear her speak of her plans. Phyllis shared a story, when she was 30 years old, some 30 years ago, and she was in Winter Park, Co. She was trying to decide what to do with her life. She wanted it to be meaningful. It was at that time, her mother called her to come home and begin traveling and helping her grandmother, Hawayo Takata. She said, she wasn't sure if that was what she wanted to do. A friend said to her, if you don't like it, you can always come back to Colorado. The rest is history, as we know it. Phyllis began the journey with her Grandmother, became a Reiki Master and began teaching with Takata.
She is celebrating in Winter Park, Co, returning to the place she sat 30 years ago. There is a lot of Reiki history in the blinking of those eyes. In a reflective glance, yes, there has been meaningfulness in her life. She has been of service to the Reiki world and communities and we have all been a part of those years. This is time for great reflections of her past 30 years.
She said, she will go into the mountains, with an old friend that does backpacking trips for hunters. She wants to be alone, to do Reiki, contemplate her time as Lineage Bearer, wisely look into the future and be gifted wisdom from this System. How does it want to be seen in the next 30 years?
Tomorrow, sit with your eyes closed for a moment and hold that space for Phyllis, send her birthday blessings and well wishes. She has asked for all to send her Reiki during this time in Winter Park Co.
Happy Birthday Phyllis Lei Furumoto from all of us on this blog!
