Path of lights and shadows.


Life is a path, a path full of decisions, some are taken well, others not so well, and this makes the path full of lights, but also of shadows. The lights bring joy to our lives and allow us to see the road well and move forward quickly, and the shadows help us to learn, even if we go slower. Let not the shadows frighten us, they are there for a special reason, perhaps to appreciate more the rays of the sun that often sneak in ... between shadows.

We derive from nature and therefore I think the comparison between the different spaces of nature and life is correct. I love hiking and many times, if not all the times, I don't know what I'm going to find when I set out on the path.

Sometimes there are straight paths, sometimes curves and counter-curves, sometimes flat and sometimes up hills. But on most of these roads there are lights and shadows.

There are areas where the sun is so strong that it blunts the view, because there are not so many trees there. But there are areas where there is so much vegetation that the shadows are dark and deep, so much so that it is very cold because the sun rarely comes.

Just as in life many times we believe that the shadow zone will never end, that we are in a very dark and deep well like the thick shadows generated by the number of trees, but... the sun is still out and as we move, as we take action in life, as we look for solutions, as we continue to walk the road looking for paths, the sun will reappear.

They say that the universe is cyclical, that there are always periods of light and shadow, but those cycles always pass, they come and go and you have to know that in order not to despair, to know that, if you are in the cold zone of the shadows, later the warm zone of the bright sun will come.

Travelling along paths like this one in nature makes me think about many things, also to free my mind, to let it fly, to leave it empty so that new ideas, those that come from elsewhere, can arrive. Life is cyclical as are the paths, with twists and turns, but if we keep walking we will get to the path we want.

Exploring this path in the Gibralfaro forest park, called the new world path, the name itself invited me to climb higher and higher. I discovered those dark shady areas, but also the paths full of sunshine and giving different colours to the trees. In the shadows they all look the same, but when the sun is present you can see the beauty in them.

But even in the shadows there are gaps that have allowed me to have wonderful views of other natural spaces or of the city in the distance.

Trees that embrace, trees that amaze with their shapes and colours, trees that give life in the middle of a great and wonderful journey, just as life itself is. There is no need to be afraid of the shadows, the sun is out there waiting for us to go out and see it and admire the beauty of life and nature.

Thank you for joining me today, I wish you all a very good Sunday. See you soon.

Good morning, dear friend @avdesing

I have no doubt that walking these trails will make you reflect, as they are the ideal places to do so. They are also an opportunity to free your mind and absorb new energies.

This place is beautiful; the photos you took are truly gorgeous.

Enjoy a beautiful Sunday.

Madre: combinación de dulzura y amor, gracia y ternura, riqueza y valor, belleza y verdad. Este es el ser mayor, único, supremo.
En ella se agolpan los sentimientos verdaderos, la grandeza absoluta, la voluntad a toda prueba, el amor eternizado. La madre es un ser de presente, de permanencia perenne, de necesidad permanente. A ella de manera injusta se dedica el segundo domingo del mes de mayo, cuando en realidad su día lo cubre el almanaque entero.
La madre es el único ser capaz de ser infiel y a la vez ser admirada, porque ama a todos sus seres queridos con la misma intensidad de todo tu ser.
Una vez compararon a la vida con la madre y pensaron que la vida ganaría, pero al faltarle el calor de tu presencia, la bondad de tu alma, tu virtud, tu dulzura, tu juicio, tu comprensión permanente la vida se rindió ante ti y dijo: Nada hay más grande que la madre porque es ella quien engendra vida y amor.
Muchas felicidades en este día tan especial.
Salud y saludos.

Mother: combination of sweetness and love, grace and tenderness, richness and value, beauty and truth. This is the greatest, unique, supreme being.
In her are agglutinated the true feelings, the absolute greatness, the will to all test, the eternalized love. The mother is a being of present, of perennial permanence, of permanent need. The second Sunday of the month of May is unfairly dedicated to her, when in fact her day is covered by the entire almanac.
The mother is the only being capable of being unfaithful and at the same time to be admired, because she loves all her loved ones with the same intensity of your whole being.
Once they compared life with the mother and thought that life would win, but lacking the warmth of your presence, the goodness of your soul, your virtue, your sweetness, your judgment, your permanent understanding, life surrendered to you and said: There is nothing greater than the mother because it is she who begets life and love.
Many congratulations on this special day.
Greetings and salutations.

What beautiful words and so true.... I despair a lot, but it is true that you just have to keep walking on the path and the sun will always rise.

Thank you so much, avecilla.

We all despair... you think I don't? But sometimes nothing can be done because it is beyond our control. Thank you!

Hello @avdesing, thank you for this walk so full of meaning (and also of Nature). Life has its twists and turns, you call it cycles (I believe in them too), sometimes sweet and sometimes bitter.

And as I've been looking for quotes for a few days I leave you one that I liked when I read it (I hope you like it too):

Poor is the one who never has to regret anything. He can lose nothing because there is nothing for which his heart beats. He is the poorest of us all.
V.E. Frankl

A very big hug.

It's a beautiful phrase, very good indeed and it has a lot to do with what I wrote today. Thank you very much... the twists and turns always happen, you just have to learn to act in the rain. Thank you very much!

The sun always rises, you know that. You have said it and left it in writing. Soon it will be clear and you will see it again, I'm sure of that.

From here my best vibes for you.

I am very happy about what you tell me. Two weeks will soon pass and the sooner you will see this cycle as something past and an experience that improved you as a person (is it possible?).

When these two weeks are over... and everything goes well, I will breathe easy, I assure you, we have had two months of stress... but we had to wait and do things well. You always learn!

Sure, the quiet breathing, I won't hear that one... But for sure in two weeks I will hear a big sigh of relief coming from Málaga...

Beautiful place with lush environments. I like this image in particular because of the different curves and angles of its topography.
