The Water Lantern Festival is truly magical and very emotional.
We wrote down our hope, our dreams, our wishes, our prayers; we meditated; we all sat there silently in a downpour of heavy rain (Yes – through the heavy rain, everyone continued meditating with no panic). It helped me cry louder in the rain relieving all the pain I’ve been carrying for so long.
We sent out our personalized lanterns and watched them floating into the water collectively. It was filled with a lot of mixed emotions. I’m grateful our family participated last year.
