WORK IN SOLITUDE
One day a person climbed a mountain where a hermit woman who took refuge in Meditating , and asked:

- "What are you doing in such Solitude?"

To which she replied:

- "I have a lot of Work."

- "And how can you have so much work? I don't see anything around here ...

- "I have to train two hawks and two eagles, reassure two rabbits, discipline a snake, motivate a donkey and tame a lion."

-"And, where do they go that I don't see them?"

- "I have them Inside.

The Hawks are launched on everything that is presented to me, good or bad, I have to train them to launch on good things.
They are my Eyes.

The two Eagles with their claws hurt and destroy, I have to teach them not to hurt.
They are my Hands.

The Rabbits want to go where they want, not to face difficult situations, I have to teach them to be calm even if there is suffering, or stumbling.
They are my Feet.

The Donkey is always tired, stubborn, does not want to carry his load many times.
It is my Body.

The most difficult to tame is the Snake. Although she is locked in a strong cage, she is always ready to bite and poison anyone nearby. I have to discipline her.
It is my Tongue.

I also have a Lion. Oh ... how proud and vain ... he thinks he is the king. I have to tame him.
It is my Ego.

- As you see, friend, I have a lot of work. And you, what do _you_ work on?"
