Before birth.
Life for Bohai and his family had been very hard and they had struggled for many years to simply put food on the table.
His art was of little value and he had wondered many times, if it ever would.
Melanie from his future had shown him it would, even if it was long after his days.
Those trips to the mountains to ask for guidance from the universe had led to Chunhau’s gift of music.
Giving blessing to the universe he closed his eyes in meditation and remembered the wisdom he had received from the universe on the mountain.
‘將生命的光輝照耀在別人身上並不會減弱。’
‘The brightness of your life is not diminished by shining the light on others.’
Drifting back to those days many years before Chunhau {spring flowers} was born he relived the past.
‘在頭腦中，整個宇宙仍然投降。’
‘To a mind that is still the whole universe surrenders.’
Lao Tzu
