Voices on the streets sound like screaming. Cars driving by like a thunder. Everything is so dark and cold, only stone everywhere. I need silence, only the whispers of the wind in trees. The smell of earth after rain. The energy flowing from the ground through my skin. The connection. Truly feeling like being emerged and part of this amazing huge living thing build up from all of us. The animals, trees, rivers, we’re all like the cells in the body of nature. So small we can not be seen with the naked eye, but each one of us having a big purpose. Like every living thing on earth we are part of the lungs of the nature, part of the muscles, part of every organ. But we lock ourselves up inside the stone walls, disconnect ourselves from the hearth. Each time a cell is separated from the body it dies. And even if we would still be alive, something inside of us dies. We feel empty, lost, far from home.

If I stop and listen, I can hear the beating heart. Feel it pumping the energy through me. Connect again. Let everything around me disappear. Let my mind to bring me back home. To the nature where I can feel the earth sharing its strength under my bare feet, the leaves of threes caressing me as I walk by, the sun warming and lighting up every corner of me. I am strong, I am fearless, I shine peacefulness and kindness. Happiness and gratefulness are flowing out of me like rivers. But only as long as I stay connected. The minute I lose the connection, I lose myself. I don’t know who I am or where I’m going. They say we can only be happy and in balance when we are fulfilling our own unique purpose. I don’t know if there are people who can do that disconnected. But I know for sure that I am not one of them. So I create silence where there is noise, calmness where there is chaos, life where there is death, connection where it’s lost.

Perspective. It’s a funny thing. How we can see the exact same thing in completely different ways. How what actually happens doesn’t really mean anything, but our backgrounds, fears, values and just all those random associations we have with things. It is no wonder why we fail to understand each other as humans when every single one of us is speaking our own unique language of emotions and reasonings. And we are never taught how to either. As children the adults in our lives are often being great examples of how not to understand each other. And at school we learn all kinds of irrelevant details of so many subjects that we completely forget about after finishing the school. Yet there is not a single lesson on how to simply live life without drama, conflicts or just overall confusion. The most important lesson, the life itself, we must figure out on our own.

Some of us never get through even the first step of understanding that we have all the power over our lives. That we can create our lives into whatever we want as long as we choose determination over excuses and compassion over fear. Being able to see yourself from outside point of view is a very useful skill, though hard to achieve. It is so easy to always see the fault in others and ignore the pain and frustration caused by our own issues, making our patience short and egos easily hurt.

And it gets even funnier when you feel all those negative emotions about the things someone supposedly did to you and at the same time deep down you know it’s not about them, it’s about you. It’s about the little innocent child or animal inside you not being taken care of. And it is our own responsibility to take care of it. Every single one of us is worth it and owes it to ourselves. But we are never taught how to do it and no one else can do it for us. So many of us end up neglecting those inner children. Some of us succeed to take care of them, but for very few it is easy. For most of us it is a long journey of trial and error. But the good thing about all this is that it is never too late to start, it is never too late to change how we see ourselves, others and the world around us and make the life more pleasant for everyone.
