Душата му летеше през планините, искаше да достигне мястото където се сливаше небето и водата, мястото беше далеко, а острите и стръмни скали не свършваха. Летенето беше уморително, но си заслужаваше. Когато въпросното място наближаваше се усещаше топъл аромат на липа, планините намаляваха, а скалите не бяха толкова мрачни и студени - омекотяваше ги свежата зеленинка и множеството жълти цветя осеяли обширните им поляни. Пристигам, идвам, близко съм - крещеше неговото сърце и въпреки умората, желанието му да види мястото което му даваше пълна свобода и жизненост и където го чакаше любимата му, го изпълваше с нови сили, даваше му енергия с която ускоряваше летенето и така  достигаше мястото по бързо. Когато пристигна те се видяха, сляха страсно телата си в едно и след това се потопиха във обширната безкрайност, която ги обгърна с любов, топлина и светлина. Вече бяха заедно завинаги....

♦ “… have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.”

Rainer Maria Rilke, “Letters to a young poet“

♦ “The first question you can begin to ask yourself, though, is: “Where can I find a small corner of stillness?” Because that’s where it all begins and ends. God resides in these pockets of silence. So where in your day, where in your home, where in your mind, is there some opportunity for a moment of silence? Or maybe even a few moments, during which you can start asking the questions you need to ask in order to find what you need to learn. Can you find the time to get out of your own way and try to step into your own light? As a dear friend of mine put it: “To change your life, the important thing is not necessarily to travel; the important thing is to SHIFT.”

Elizabeth Gilbert

♦ I hope you will go out and let stories happen to you, and that you will work them, and water them with your blood & tears & laughter ’till they bloom, until you yourself burst into bloom.
