One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through.

Closing cycles, shutting doors, endi

We are coming to the end of another unique year.
You have a couple of weeks left,
to let it all go.

Let go of worry, what will be will be.
Let go of regret, what’s done is done.
Let go of anger, it’s prolonging your pain.

Let it all go and make way.

"You cannot lose real friends.
You just can’t.
They won’t go, no matter how hard you push them away when you are not yourself.

Imagine you are walking in the woods and you see a dog sitting by a tree. As you approach it, it suddenly lunges at you, teeth bared. You are frightened and angry. But then you notice that one of its legs is caught in a trap. Immediately your mood

The Lie said to the Truth, "Let's take a bath together, the well water is very nice.
The Truth, still suspicious, tested the water and found out it really was nice. So they got naked and bathed.
But suddenly, the Lie leapt out of the water and fl

Let’s never be “out of the woods”

"I feel a little alarmed when it happens that I have walked a mile into the woods bodily, without getting there in spirit. I would fain forget all my morning’s occupation—my obligations to society. But sometimes i

Fear can accumulate in our body, causing stress and tension. Rest is a precondition for healing. When animals in the forest get wounded, they find a place to lie down, and they rest completely for many days. They don’t think about food or anything

"Piglet?" said Pooh.
"Yes?" said Piglet.

"I'm scared," said Pooh.
For a moment, there was silence.

"Would you like to talk about it?" asked Piglet, when Pooh didn't appear to be saying anything further.

"I'm just so scared," blurted out Pooh.

Autumn

Art by Alla Tsank

Fugitive, wistful,
Pausing at edge of her going,
Autumn the maiden turns,
Leans to the earth with ineffable
Gesture. Ah, more than
Spring's skies her skies shine
Tender, and frailer
Bloom than plum-bloom or alm

The tree does not say to the rock,
"You are unworthy"

The moon to the ocean: "You are wrong.
you should not be."

THE LOSS OF A MOTHER

Is an inevitable part of our life.

We know it will come around
and we know the day will hurt
but we are not prepared,
never prepared
for the tearing.

The tearing of a part of our soul
