W O R KOne day,A man who was hiking in the woods accidentallyfound a hermit sitting in meditation who had been living there  in small hut, and he asked him:′′ What do you do in so much loneliness? ′′He replied:′′ I have a lot of work to do. ′′′′ How can you have so much work I see nothing here...′′ I have to train two Falcons and two Eagles, reassure two Rabbits, discipline a Serpent, motivate a Mule and tame a Lion. ′′′′ Where are they? I don't see them... ′′ I have them inside.The Falcons are getting started on everything presented to me, good or bad, I have to train them to get started on good things.Those are my eyes.The two eagles with their claws hurt and destroy, I must teach them not to hurt.These are my hands.The rabbits want to go wherever they want, they run away from difficult situations, I have to teach them to be quiet even if there is suffering or obstacle.These are my feet.The Mule is always tired, stubborn, very often he doesn't want to carry his weight.That's my body.The hardest thing to tame is the snake.Even if he is locked in a rugged cage, he is still willing to bite and poison anyone nearby.I have to discipline him.That's my tongue.I also have a Lion.Oh...he is proud, vain,he thinks he is king.I have to tame him.This is my EGO.As you see it,I have a lot of work to do. ′′- Artist: Julius von Klever - A Forest in Autumn, 1905
