Do you choose Love or Destruction?

I am done.

Not out of love nor forgiveness. Just because I am sick of filling my head with other peoples crap.

Stubbornness.

Maybe that’s the way I have to take it. In the end, that is, what brought me so far in life.

Stubbornness for everyone who told me it wouldn’t work, everyone that said it wasn’t possible, and everyone who decided to throw stones at me instead of building a bridge.

I am done with this.

Why do we make kids, just to teach them how to hurt others? Why do we need to force people to do things they don’t like, just so they can screw up the life of someone else later? Why walking over others or ourselves instead to respecting each other?

What I need to stop is trying to find an answer to these questions. Because there is none. Maybe one, a very unsatisfying one, “That’s just how it is.”

There is so much beauty, when I am choosing by myself, without the expectations of others. I notice all the plants growing around, every petal of a flower bares endless patterns to get lost in. The sound of a bee getting drunk on the same smell and one of my Wasps paying me a visit, her long legs follow her like a cape, I take her with me, she can stay.

When I am by myself everything turns out the right way, not easy not always comfortable, but in the right way.

The rain on my face when I know I’ll sleep in a dry place tonight. And just as I start to pay attention to these details strangers start to smile, birds sing, I get that one idea I was looking for.

Four petals when I wasn’t looking for them and a random stranger payed for my coffee when we barely said hello and goodbye.

Random?

Absurd, violent and beautiful.

It does work, it is possible and we can choose love over destruction at any stage of a life. There are the people who do and the ones who don’t, maybe that is the only answer to my questions.

And maybe sometimes it is as easy as just turning away from the sadness and towards beauty.

What about you, what keeps you sane and happy in this violent and beautiful world?

Thank you for passing by and have a lovely Sunday!

I keep sewing.... keep planting seeds, and smelling flowers yes. And avoiding folks who have destructive habits or thinking - avoiding trespass and intrusions by the system that is feeding off of our creativity (being deadened) and our attention (not being on growing ourselves and growing things).

It helps hugely to have long rambling voice messaging; to both receive and to share this - this keeps me most sane, for sure. Hearing others stories, and knowing that in a few years EVERYTHING can change in this insane ugly distorted world, by e.g. women freebirthing, or by folks leaving the medicalisation of life, or by folks regenerating land, animals, biodiversity. I love the podcasting world, and find much solace, even if I am not in the middle of a lot of these folks.

I like my role (SOMEtimes) in being protagonist and visionary in a community that needs guidance; I do see folks' faith in the old 'authorities' failing, and naturally folks like us will come to take their place, in right timing, and with our stamina, determination and fearlessness. Or our starting up new, organic systems and communities...

And a glass of wine or two, a spritze and a spumante - they help lift my spirits and reel my senses in a bit! Hehe... Looking forward to putting the world to rights with you, next time you cycle by my dearest friend.

LOvE!

Yes🌸

and knowing that in a few years EVERYTHING can change

Indeed, and I guess if we keep sewing and smelling flowers these are evidently going to be part of that future. So we create wether that will be full of love or not.

As ourselves meeting from all corners of this world, somehow we always find the things that resonate😊
Thank you for this lovely comment!

And...Me too☕️🥂💛

We need time by ourselves every once in a while to recalibrate, no? I read this off my phone and loved it, but was hard to comment. It resonates very much with where I am right now, also, so it felt so secretly satisfying for someone else to put it into words so well. Thank you <3

And maybe sometimes it is as easy as just turning away from the sadness and towards beauty.

Yes. It's always a choice. Always a story we're telling ourselves, at the end of the day, instead of remembering the story starts with where our feet are right this moment. I didn't come up with that, this guy did. And hearing it felt like such an eye-opener. Ridiculous. Highly recommend for anyone going through some heartbreaky shit. Any emotional turmoil, really.

I love this, thank you for that reply! I find it great, that moment when you realize all these thoughts in your head actually do resonate with others and back at you and then bringing you another step further...:)
I'll listen to this guy!

Yes definitely, funny enough I find myself realizing that over and over again. Like I know it and still let it slip too often. But that's part of the process I guess:)
