“I’ve learned so much from my mistakes, i’m thinking of making a few more.” Anonymous
- Imagine a box beautifully wrapped in front of you.
- Take a moment to “see” the box.
- Now touch the box,
- What color is the box?
- How does the box feel?
- Open the box
- Describe what is inside?
- Notice a detail about the gift and examine it.
- Thank the giver.
Trust your imagination – there is always something in the box.

Reflections:
Erin:
Alberto: Yo he visto una caja de carton, color naranja, de textura suave, color naranja mate (sin brillo) y agradable.
Dentro hay unos zapatos de goma, azules, super cool y comodos, tal vez para correr.
Me los regalo la chica que mas me gusta del mundo, y estoy super feliz de que me dio este regalo.
JP: I see an Emerald green box, satin like feel, it’s squishy once I touch it, it leaves an indent, I can’t seem to tell where the top of the box and the bottom start or finish so it’s difficult to open. When I finally do, I see inside the ring that was left to me by my grandmother, each granddaughter got one. Mine had a Colombian emerald , a light I had never seen before, flashes came to me of seeing my grandmother with it. I close my eyes and thank her for all the beauty she gave me inside and this special family treasure she has trusted me with.
MON: The box is wrapped in a dark purple felt which is very soft, with a light purple ribbon. underneath the wrapping is a plain white box and inside the box is a carousel, those that you turn and music plays. The gift is from my higher self and is reminding me about the joys and innocence of childhood, and how I should embody that child-like feeling no matter what happens today.
LAU: The box is large, round and has a wine red velvet bow. When you touch it, your hand goes through the box as if you were in virtual reality. I open it, intrigued, and inside there is a paradisiacal beach, with warm, crystalline water, white sand that does not burn your feet, and palm trees on which multicolored hammocks sway. The temperature is warm but pleasant and there is a slight breeze.
On a bamboo table rests a cold natural fruit juice and an open book.
Thanks to my imagination for showing me the exact place where I would like to be right now and offering it to me in this magic box.
CARO: I receive a box and all my memories are inside it. Little moments. The first time I made my own dinner or payed for my own trip. When my dad taught how to make a mustard sauce for a barbeque, or the “Oscar” parties in NY, Rise graphics R,C, L, ME, M V, L, C, M, MC, A, S, C, N, BCDEFGHIJKLMONOPQRSTUVWXYZ….., I cannot count all the special people in my life. I would need to fill up a humongous box of friends from all over the world. My box would have photos of all those moments. Life gave me my box.
A: I imagined a big box placed on a table. The box was blue, sort of a vibrant blue (my fav colour) with white polka dots. It was wrapped with a white ribbon with a beautiful bow at the top. The blue paper of the box feels smooth with a matte finishing. I untied the ribbon, and opened the lid. To my surprise, all four sides of the box fell apart, revealing images, notes, cards and pieces of memories from different parts of my life. It was a great gift! Thank you to the imaginary friend who gave it to me
ISA:
Got a box- at least it looks like a box.
It is clear yet nothing shows.
I’m curious- how do I open it? How does it work?
I now know or rather I know now… it is this moment, this present moment what I have in front of me. Love it! Can’t wait to hold it, enjoy it and make the most out of it.
Grateful to life and all around it for this moment.
Ubarikiwe!
ISA2: Received a box unlike the other daily parcels I receive every day from amazon. This one was furry, covered with black smooth silky fur.
It smelled of geranium and I couldn’t wait to open it!
It wasn’t big, or small either.
It took me a while to find out that it had a button that I had to press in order to unleash it.
It had 5 pictures: one in a jungle, the Amazon, I think; one of a huge desert, no one in the picture, just sand; a large picture of a family portrait, all riding horses, one small passport picture of a dog and one of my grandmother!!!
Nothing was written anywhere, where did these pictures come from? Why my late grandmother? What is this all about??
Thank youAbu, for being present everyday…
Gise:
In front of me is my golden box which is almost a reflection of myself. Sparkly and bright.
When I open my box, by unwrapping the big bright shining golden bow, I see the gift that is inside and I am instantly filled with joy.
Inside the box, there are multiple crystals and good luck charms representing health, abundance, good virtue, gratitude, happiness, and more!
