Food for Thoughts

Nature nourishes my soul and fuels my heart. There’s actually never a day I am not amazed in some ways by nature. 

I was growing up in a little village on the countryside, left for the big wide world living in urban areas like Paris, London or New York but have found myself over the last years (re-)connecting more and more to nature. 

The music of singing birds, the softness of rain, the heat of the sun, the magic of waterfalls – but more than any than that: the energy that nature gives. 

Anytime I feel disconnection, anger, sadness or discomfort, nature is my place to recharge, relax and find calmness. 

Our planet truly is amazing. It has already all we need. 

I LOVE YOU RIGHT NOW, IN THIS VERY MOMENT, BUT I DONT KNOW WHETHER THIS WILL ALSO BE VALID TOMORROW 

This statement is full of truth.
But I assume you feel the same resistance that I did when I heard it for the first time.

Your ego might call and ask for a secured love – for love under a security umbrella, with the guarantee for endless validity, a love with the stamp “forever” on it. 

Think about it with a clear, objective mind. Can a promise like this – “I love you forever” – ever been kept? 

Love is an emotion and emotions come and go as waves have their inner movements of ups and downs. 
Love is a feeling and feelings are far from being permanent. 

Our mind, our ego or whatever you might call that inner voice claims love and all other positive sensations to last forever as they make us feel being so perfectly fine, comfortable or even high.

But the truth is: emotions come and go, so does love.

The only, real truthful and sincere love declaration would be: I LOVE YOU RIGHT NOW, IN THIS VERY MOMENT, BUT DONT KNOW WHETHER THIS WILL BE VALID TOMORROW.

Because nobody knows what tomorrow will be. No one can. All we know is that IT IS AS IT IS – right now … in this very moment. 

A creative mindset might be one step in the right direction as it helps you to
– Find comfort with the uncertainties of life
– Understand yourself better 
– Master your mind instead of being mastered by your mind 

Do you yet have the inner strength to live in that space of unknown ?
