Late b-day present ;))

When I paint everything is easy. The mind is quiet, the breath is steady, the heartbeat normal. I am in the flow or even better I am the flow. I dance with life in an endless spiral which takes me deeper and deeper within. When I´m done I stare at myself, at the self which stares back from the painting and we recognize each other, we encounter, we simply are. My daily meditations are full of colour. I do them as often as I can to learn who I really am. Painting teaches me that I am the space in which everything is allowed to exist, without any trace of fear, false expectations or compromise. It shows me beyond any doubt that it is possible to love and accept myself just as I am. This realization is one of the most precious gifts the Universe has for all of us.

 

What if I can choose to make my life simple?

What if today can be less about "the usual do do list" and so much more about "the to be list"?
So here goes! 
Today I choose to be open, instead of closed.

Today I choose to be brave. Today I choose to be aware that even behind the thickest layer of clouds, the sun still shines, waiting patiently for a chance to get through.

Today I choose to be as gentle with myself  and others as the hands which have placed these tomatoes under the sun rays. Today I choose to be as generous with myself and others as nature is with all its creations.

Today I choose to be there for myself without judgments, regrets, guilt and expectations. Today I choose to allow you into my world.
