1.2.15
Hi there,
I'm sitting right now by your front porch watching the flame of a
candle dancing with the touch of the wind. The flame is not
resisting to anything, she just moves gracefully. The moon is really
big and shiny, painting everything on the hill with a magic glow.
Just the biggest stars dared to make her company tonight. Nature is
performing a sweet concert. Every sound penetrates my cells,
changing their frequency. The river is singing, caressing my ears.
Even the dogs respected this melody and stayed quiet.
I closed my eyes and felt embraced by all this energy. I felt so
grateful that I started laughing and at the same time, I cried. Have
you ever had that feeling? I laughed more and cried more, feeling so
small compared to everything that surrounds me, but at the same time
realizing I'm part of it. At this exact moment, I feel complete!
All of these make me realize the greatness in simplicity. Why we
get stuck in many stupid dramas? Why we get lost in what is in the
surface, instead of realizing the essence of everything? Why we
think so much instead of just feeling?
These days here were exactly what I needed at this moment. I was
feeling like a dying flower back in my place, trying to decide
between quitting [my job] or accepting that reality. But here, I got
some sun, water, fresh soil and felt surrounded by other flowers,
plants and trees. I blossomed again. Sweet Esperanza has been
giving me warmth with her tiny, fury body. Right now, she is
attacking my hand and pen while I'm trying to write.
As I told you, I felt like I was home here. Maybe after you, I
was the second person to really love this place. I love its
simplicity and how I feel embraced by nature and why not, the
universe, too. It seems like a different reality here. I don't want
to get back. I want to get lost in this moment. But the law of
impermanence is always there.
I hope you keep it simple like now. You are really blessed. I
hope you can give back to others, to the world, what life gives you.
Sorry if I have spelling or grammar mistakes. I can see you
laughing, but I don't care. I just wanted to give you this words as
a New Year's present. Thank you for the gift of letting me enjoy the
sunrise without moving from bed. Thank you for sharing this space
where I can enjoy the present moment, and I hope you don't make fun
of this later.
Wish you the best,
