Acasă la Alexandru Macedon

Alexander of Macedon

ore de drum

Egnatia Odos, 2016

Nordul Greciei, în iunie. Pornesc spre locul de baștină al lui Alexandru Macedon.

De la Tesalonic, urmez Egnatia Odos, în direcția Veroia, într-un ținut care aparține omenirii în esența ei, nu doar Greciei.

În aparență un loc atât de modest, de aici a pornit un grec curajos în aspirația sa de cunoaștere. Simt energiile inspiratoare ale acestui ținut, de aceea mă întorc aici mereu și mereu. Călătorind în lung și-n lat prin nordul Greciei, demnitatea grecilor de aici o intuiesc ca fiind zămislită din admirația pentru eroul lor.

Cele două foste capitale pe care urmează să le vizitez sunt înscrise pe lista Patrimoniului mondial UNESCO.

În ordine cronologică:

***Vergina (Aigai), prima capitală a Macedoniei, unde se află necropola regală. Filip al II-lea și soția sa Olimpia, părinții marelui Alexandru, odihnesc acolo. Fiul acestuia, Alexandru IV, care a murit în împrejurări dubioase, încă adolescent, tot aici se presupune…

Your Only Competition Is Yourself

Saania's diary - reflections, learnings, sparkles

Here is a short poem I wrote that I had in my drafts for a long time, but I decided to post it today. Also, today is my Birthday! 🎂💕

A flower doesn’t
Think of competing
With other flowers
In the field…
It serenely blooms
At its own pace
Until its alluring beauty
Is revealed

The power of Healing and Fogiveness

Divine Truth and Magick

I like the mind. It’s so healing.. it’s where all our magick happens.

Ready to forgive yourself? This is powerful and even just reading it, begins the process subconsciously.

First, you have to understand that you have been blinded and lied to, and let down, and hurt and your actions were actions taken before you were aware of the things you know now. Just like forgiving a friend who is unaware of something, you can forgive yourself.

It’s important to forgive yourself so you can make room for the better, brighter you! It allows for release of things that you no longer need to carry with you. It also makes forgiving others alot easier.

So to begin with, find a quiet spot, close your eyes and imagine a white room. This room is totally empty, solid white walls and floor, and ceiling. This room is yours, it belongs to you…

Kalte Hände

“No, I can no longer play the guitar with my cold hands. The fingers are too stiff and the strings cut into the fingertips. Despite the callus. ”
The bearded musician shakes his head, bends down and strokes his dog, a friendly promenade mixture that, I learn, he got from his postman.

Skizzenbuch/Blog

Spende statt Gage – in den eisigen Corona-Zeiten brauchen Musiker mehr Unterstützung “Nein, mit den kalten Händen kann ich nicht länger Gitarre spielen. Die Finger sind zu steif und die Saiten schneiden in die Fingerkuppen. Trotz Hornhaut.”
Der bärtige Musiker schüttelt den Kopf, bückt sich und streichelt seinen Hund, eine freundliche Promenadenmischung, die er, so erfahre ich, von seiner Briefträgerin vermittelt bekommen hat.

« Les chercheurs d’or ont souillé la forêt. Elle a été imprégnée de fumées épidémiques et nous avons été piégé dans une frénésie de mort. »

The gold diggers have defiled the forest. She was steeped in epidemic fumes and we were trapped in a death frenzy.

Fille Yanomami et sa famille dans la forêt, Amazonas, Venezuela

Comme le dit le porte-parole et chaman Yanomami Davi Kopenawa dans son livre La chute du ciel: « En tout cas, nos aînés n’ont eu qu’à inhaler cette fumée inconnue pour en mourir très vite… C’est ainsi que nous avons connu la puissance des épidémies de xawara des Blancs… Plus qu’assez d’entre nous sont déjà morts des épidémies de xawara propagées par les Blancs dans le passé.

Nous avons vu les Blancs répandre leur épidémie et nous tuer avec leurs armes. Nous les avons vus détruire la forêt et les rivières. Nous savons qu’ils peuvent être avides et méchants et que leur pensée est souvent pleine de ténèbres.

Mais nous savons aussi que tous les mots des Blancs ne pourraient disparaître de notre esprit que s’ils arrêtaient d’envahir et de détruire notre terre. Ensuite, tout serait calme comme avant et…
