(330) The "Jane Goodall" Effect ~ Shining Brightly and Continuously 🌞!

(Continued from previous post)

These past days, I've remained immersed in the news of Dr. Jane Goodall's passing. The "Jane Goodall Effect" and her timeless words echo in my ears. Friends from all corners have sent messages of condolence, just like my own grandmother had departed—a deeply heartwarming gesture. Indeed~ the feelings are exactly the same. Rushing to write previous post to express my emotions has only stirred more questions. Since October 1st, the curious inquiries from friends have been quite interesting. Let me take it a step further and share a comprehensive summary~

(1) "What was your immediate reaction when you received the news?" Opening my October 1st journal, the entry reads: Last night I tossed and turned, restless and uneasy, as if something was brewing. When I turned on my phone this morning and learned of the Dr.'s passing, I was stunned. Instinctively, I tried to reassure myself: "How could this be? Just a month ago we met, laughing and chatting happily. When I sent her the Frost Flower photos and wished her success with her Canada-US talks, she was all smiles!" "No way, it must be a hoax." But as news poured in from all sides, and the official announcement from the Jane Goodall Institute was published, I heard myself tell my boyfriend in panic: "Dr. Jane... has passed away!" We stood frozen for a long time, utterly at a loss! After back to my normal state, I started to write; the manuscript poured out instantly as previous article 327.

(2) Having this rare connection with Dr.Jane, what impact did she have on you?

For nearly a year, writing to Dr. became part of my daily routine. Whenever I encountered this or that while traveling, I shared it with her. I bluntly said, "Dr.Jane, you're always busy; you don't need to reply. I know you love hearing stories—my exhibition adventures are endless. I'll just happily share them; read them when you have time." At first, Dr's replies were brief, signed "Dr. Jane." But later, her letters ended simply with "Jane," omitting the title. I smiled inwardly—we're friends now! Indeed, the distance between people is often widened by worldly distinctions of class, job titles, and positions.

Jane and I both understood these distinctions were unnecessary. Boundaries are purely human constructs. She showed me what "Equanimity" means and how to transcend the "self-other duality." Seeing Jane's example, I aspire to live as "Oneness without distinction." Only when everything is founded on universal love can the world achieve true harmony and goodness!

(3) What's the story behind Dr's stuffed chimp (Mr.H)?

This Mr. H was a birthday gift to Dr.Jane over thirty years ago from a friend. Brother H was a blind magician. She shared: "Brother H served in the U.S. Marine and lost his sight at age 21. Yet he always dreamed of becoming a magician. When many laughed at his blind man's wild ambition, he simply knew he had to work N times harder than others. Later, whenever thunderous applause erupted after his performances, he would always encourage the children: 'Life may present obstacles, but never give up! As long as there is hope, dreams will come true!' I've been taking Mr. H everywhere to speak, precisely to share this friend's indomitable spirit with everyone." Every time I hear Dr.Jane recount this moving story, my blood boils. I vow to emulate her, writing heartfelt, uplifting tales to inspire people facing hardships to pursue their dreams with iron will.

(4) How do you plan to spread the seeds of the Dr's legacy?

Dr.Jane always encouraged us: "We can choose to use the gifts bestowed upon us by life to make the world a better place!" Guided by these inspiring words, I am determined to unleash my inner potential, writing countless passionate articles to promote positive living, serve others and empower self-reliance!

For years, I dreamed of holding Frost Flower exhibition at the United Nations. I sent countless letters, yet received no response. But after meeting Dr. Jane, a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared. Dr. Jane entered my life, igniting this seed of hope. Her grand vision advocates for global care of our planet, and the eco-symbol "Frost Flowers" now carries me forward. As long as I never give up, I will find a way to realize this dream!

Additionally, Dr. Jane often says not to underestimate individual power—every day, we all impact the Earth. This underscores the critical importance of cultivating awareness and nurturing positive thoughts. Each individual's energy field resonates throughout the cosmos. My very existence—whether I radiate positive or negative energy—matters profoundly. Purifying my own intentions is my fundamental responsibility.

For nearly a week, closing my eyes brings only Dr. Jane's radiant smile and her eyes, bright as stars. Gazing at the deep night sky, distant horizons sparkle with twinkling stars⭐. It is her—she continues sowing seeds of hope, smiling alongside us as we strive forward.
