Some light a torch to start a fire ahead

Every year, you may organise a big gathering with family and friends to spark the memories of the past alive, to create some new ones and make plans for the future.

Food, drinks, music, chatter are different tools used to light up the way.
Until one abuse of one or the other.

The food diminishes, hunger sets in.
The drinks are abused, hangovers are on their way
The music is too loud, complaints come along.
The chatter goes from friendly to unpleasant, memories become tarnished.

And so, some guests stops eating, they drink too heavily, they dance uncontrollably on the dancefloor harassing their fellow human and bumping onto them and they start to have rocks and slugs in their throat.

Those ones always find a torch to set some fire ahead that may never be extinguished.

In those moments, take the matter into your hand, throw a bucket of water on them and send them to sleep before the forest you have planted goes from fire to dust.

Refused to jump on the horseback

I spent the weekend with a good friend of mine. She introduced me to her community of church goers. I was impressed by how committed and big this community is. They try to lift each other through the spoken words of the bible. As I entered the community, I created curiosity, interest as much as opportunity. Questions followed: ''Are you going to Church'' Which church are you going to'' ''Are you a Christian'' Do you believe in God''  Then I answered it: No, No, No, Yes They reacted - looking down, disappointed, sad of my misfortune: ''if you don't follow jump in, you will probably go to hell when you die''. I thought: I don't know the horse, neither who tamed it. I ain't jumping on his back... hell and heaven can be created on earth... for what happen after death I am not sure.

Sorrow Cycle - Love is here to stay

If you find yourself going through another cycle of sorrow and grieving, there is a song that may help you.  ''Love is here to stay'', the music was written by  George Gershwin  with lyrics by  Ira Gershwin .  Ira Gershwin wrote the words after George's death as a tribute to his brother’s passing. The song resonates with me as I find myself missing a person I love dearly. It puts forward that whatever changes, love is here to stay. The memory of love received, the love that still remains that you receive each day, the love that you give, the love that you feel, the love that is still there to welcome within your life. It will always be there regardless of the earthquake, tsunamis, illnesses and sadness. No point closing yourself from it by fear of losing it again, embrace it and live fully.
He was crowned. He could not look behind him neither look forward. He kept looking on a side for more or to see where others were at. So he could put more jewels on his hat. If he could only see the monster feeding on its ambitions. If he could only look at me and see the bird showing us a path to paradise. He could realise i have a flower ready to bloom, it only needs the  sunshine of its gaze for it to blossom. xxx-ooo
