"if you can`t go outside, go inside"

Here I am, got up from my bed while trying to sleep, just to put what is in my mind on the table. It is, of course, busy with everything going on lately. Everything that has been changing our lives, changing our habits, views, routes, commutes. Everything that has been changing us.

Change is something happens gradually. I wish there was a button for it but believe me, there is not. Sometimes, you foresee it coming and you embrace it, celebrate it, grow with it.
Sometimes, it hurts. You fight, you resist, you are left with wrinkles on your forehead. Because you do not want anything to be different and you chase the change away.

What is happening to me right now is between those two phases. Clearly, I am not the one owning glamorous "be positive and smile" motto to live. I even think it is bullshit. It is not always possible to stay on the bright side of the incidents. I KNOW the struggle is real (on your mind) to keep things stable and calm. That is why I am not going to say "relax" or "everything is going to be alright." I cannot know that. You cannot know. Nobody actually can. What I can suggest is, though, having some empathy & sympathizing with others in the most positive way that is achievable.

What this calamity has taught me is that, one way or another, we are ALL connected to each other and to the mother nature. You cannot retake what has happened. We are collectively witnessing that human body is not immortal & we can only intervene things to control to a certain extent.

What is significantly vital in these chaotic days is having affection and sympathy. First, towards yourself. Second, to the others. Because I know most of you have just started to welcome what is already inside you. I know that you are learning to be alone with your very own BEING.

I read a very powerful sentence today. "If you cannot go outside, go inside."
There is, there might, plenty of time for that. Time that humans created to keep up with their ego, their possessions, materials. You will realize.

Yeah, I have too much time, too. The things  I have been doing in a rush have become something I am reluctant to do. See, I am changing as well.

Once in a while, I try to see the bright side of the events. Yeah, for this one, I am grateful that we are acquiring the importance of listening. What do we want for real? How might other people be affected because of my choices? Do the consequences harm our world?

Our concerns and fears can be changed into love and kindness if we can embrace what we are going through. I do not want to fight this time. I do not want to frown to have those wrinkles. I want to be and stay strong in my mind, in my body. I want to see the energy of compassion rising from people`s houses. I want you to join, I want you to complete the circle.

Count to 10 and please do not ever forget: This, too, will pass.

Namaste.
