LISTEN TO YOUR FUTURE SELF

Dear slow fellow souls who, just like me, sometimes migh feel a bit lost and lonely in this busy world. The year of 2020 gave us a strong reminder about our fragility, to many it has been a hard lesson, but there is a great potential of gaining wisdom from these chaotic times. And also hope of change.

The dark times does not end the minute we enter the new year, and all the destruction from our disturbance of natural balance in the world will not heal instantly, but we continue to increase our common awareness, and this will eventually encourage more people to change their way of living, maybe we could make 2021 the year we start to heal?
Change hurts, yet it is unavoidable - and beautiful.
Breathe and watch the world expand!

LISTEN

Quiet friend who has come so far,

feel how your breathing makes more space around you.

Let this darkness be a bell tower

and you the bell. As you ring,

what batters you becomes your strength.

Move back and forth into the change.

What is it like, such intensity of pain?

If the drink is bitter, turn yourself to wine.

In this uncontainable night,

be the mystery at the crossroads of your senses,

the meaning discovered there.

And if the world has ceased to hear you,

say to the silent earth: I flow.

To the rushing water, speak: I am.
