Is it selfish or self-respect?
Turn off the phone,
No checking emails.
The mind needs a rest!
Each one has its own limit.
Are you missing important moments?
Or are you respecting your own space?
Disappointing loved ones?
Or loving yourself?
what do you see?
a gift, hope,
a split moment
in time
a message, answers
questions
a silent song
pause
the noise of
transformation
eternity in a
second
solitude and peace
it’s snowing, the flakes dancing in the air
from my living room
i see the calmness
i feel the world stopping
waiting
the silence engulfs me
as if i’m in a meditation temple
away, in a foreign land
my mind is still
my body is still
Four years to get a degree, 2 semesters per year, 8 books per semester. At the end 64 books and no jobs available. Last resort, sell the books and go away, a journey without destination to find my trueself. To discover what the books weren't able to teach me.
Sadly this is the path of many students nowadays.
WDYS
a moment of breath
colourful, flowing with joy
stillness in the air
October has been a month loaded with challenges for me. Too much to do and so little time as the days get shorter. Hurry and hurry from home to my workplace, and vice versa. Instead of prioritizing my needs, I let them go to open space for everything and everybody else. I’m not young anymore, and in the end, my body pays the price for all the hurry/stress I inflict on myself.
I need to slow down and set up priorities. My mind and body need care, and I’m the only one able to provide it to myself.
Wishing a week full of tiny pockets of joy to you!
Haiku for WDYS
It’s thanksgiving day here in Canada. A day off from work, no much to do after yesterday’s dinner prep and socializing. Today is quiet, and I like this way.
Sadje offers these 2 photos as a prompt for WDYS this week:
Since it’s a time to be thankful and I’m revising my goals, I wrote a few thoughts:
one minute per day
miracle on the way
truth pillars
little here and there
sparkling one day
without messages
an eruption is the next
Happy Thanksgiving to you if case your are commemorating today!
They found each other in a raining day. Love at first sight, hope, and cure for their broken hearts.
Hearts, once crying in desolation, now beat as one, mended with stiches of love to create a place for hope.

i used to go out
always
carrying my faithful companions
a journal, a camera and freedom
registering moments
as if they would disappeared
at any second
thoughts, images and details
now
the journals are piled up
in a corner of my closet
the photos are resting in a shoe box
and the memories are fading
i am alone
