What a wild ride… 🐛🦋

If you have been feeling grief lately, you are not alone. Collectively there is a lot of emotional purging taking place.

We are all being asked to let go of anything that is not serving us here.

No more time to waste, no mucking around. It’s time to truly embrace why you are here. ❤️🦋

As we grow older, something changes inside us. We begin to value peace more than noise and understanding more than being right. Life humbles us in ways we never expected. It teaches us that not everything deserves our energy, our time, or our reaction.

In our younger years, we often chase after things that don't truly matter attention, approval, arguments, or even the wrong people. But with time, we realize how much nonsense we gave importance to. We wasted time worrying about things that had no real value. Slowly, we start letting go.

We stop forcing friendships. We stop trying to fit into spaces where we clearly don’t belong. We stop explaining ourselves to those who are committed to misunderstanding us. Instead, we begin to grow quietly, calmly, and wisely.

The older we get, the more we appreciate quiet mornings, simple routines, and genuine connections. We learn that silence can be healing, and distance can be protection. Not everything needs a reaction. Not every battle needs to be fought.

Growth teaches us acceptance. We start accepting people for who they are and situations for what they are. We don’t waste energy trying to change others. We focus on ourselves, our peace, and our journey.

And in this stillness, we begin to feel more alive than ever. The noise fades, the stress lessens, and the path becomes clearer. Life becomes less about proving a point, and more about living with purpose.

So, the older you get, the more quiet you become not because you have less to say, but because you finally understand what’s truly worth your words, your time, and your heart.

Emanuele Grandi's touching poem dedicated to our four-legged companions:

“If you are afraid that you have given me few caresses, you should know that I have not forgotten even one.”

If you regret scolding me even once, you must know that I don't even remember it.

If you think you've left me alone for too long, you must know that I've always been waiting for you.

If you fear that you have devoted little time to me, you should know that I, even that little, have enjoyed every moment.

If you think you've played low with me, you must know that I've never counted the times you've thrown the ball at me.

If you think I've forgotten your perfume, you should know that even now I'm smelling it in the wind.

If you wanted to be reborn in another life, you must know that I would like to be your dog in that one too.

If you are convinced that you have some flaws, you should know that for me you have been the perfect person.

If you think love can have an end, you must know that in my heart the place of love is infinite.

If you think you have regrets about me, you must know that I wouldn't change one second of the life I've spent with you.

If you think I no longer hear your voice when you call, just trust the evening breeze the task of bringing your words to me.

If you think I can forget your face, you must know that I wanted to live just to enjoy your look.

If you think I could have loved someone more than you, you must know that I have loved you more than I loved myself.

If you think I'd like a soft sofa, just know that I would have slept on rocks with you too.

If you think I wanted more than you gave me, you must know that I have always felt like the happiest dog in the world.

If you've ever felt lonely, you must know that I've never left my place next to you.

If you think my life has been short, you must know I wouldn't want to live another minute if I hadn't spent it by your side.

If you're afraid that I'm no longer close to you, know that as soon as you close your eyes I'll fall asleep next to you.

If you think you haven't made the right decision, you must know that I've always trusted you.

Always.

If you ever dream of seeing me again, you must know I'll be there waiting for you.

As I have always done. ”

“I worried a lot. Will the garden grow, will the rivers flow in the right direction, will the earth turn as it was taught, and if not, how shall I correct it?

Was I right, was I wrong, will I be forgiven, can I do better?
Will I ever be able to sing, even the sparrows can do it and I am, well, hopeless.

Is my eyesight fading or am I just imagining it, am I going to get rheumatism, lockjaw, dementia?

Finally I saw that worrying had come to nothing.
And gave it up. And took my old body and went out into the morning, and sang.”

~Mary Oliver, “I Worried,” 2010

Guarisci figlia mia, con la luce del sole e i raggi della luna.
Con il suono del fiume e la cascata.
Con il viavai del mare e il fluttuare degli uccelli.
Guarisci figlia mia, con le foglie della menta, con l'olio del neem e l'eucalipto.
Addolcisciti con lavanda, rosmarino e camomilla.
Abbracciati con il chicco di cacao e un tocco di cannella.
Metti amore per il tè invece dello zucchero e prendilo guardando le stelle.
Guarisci figlia mia, con i baci che ti dà il vento e gli abbracci della pioggia.
Diventa forte con i piedi nudi sulla terra e con tutto ciò che nasce da lei.
Diventa ogni giorno più intelligente dando retta al tuo intuito, guardando il mondo con l'occhio della fronte.
Salta, balla, canta per farti vivere più felice.
Guarisci figlia mia, con la bellezza dell'amore, e ricorda sempre:
tu sei la medicina.

(Hernàn Huarache Mamani, "La profezia della Curandera")

"LA COSA MIGLIORE DA FARE QUANDO SI È TRISTI È IMPARARE."
📖✍️

"La cosa migliore da fare quando si è tristi," replicò Merlino, cominciando a soffiare e sbuffare, "è imparare qualcosa. È l’unica cosa che non fallisce mai. Puoi essere invecchiato, con il tuo corpo tremolante e indebolito, puoi passare notti insonni ad ascoltare la malattia che prende le tue vene, puoi perdere il tuo solo amore, puoi vedere il mondo attorno a te devastato da lunatici maligni, o sapere che il tuo onore è calpestato nelle fogne delle menti più vili. C’è solo una cosa che tu possa fare per questo: imparare.
Impara perché il mondo si muove, e cosa lo muove. Questa è l’unica cosa di cui la mente non si stancherà mai, non si alienerà mai, non ne sarà mai torturata, né spaventata o intimidita, né sognerà mai di pentirsene. Imparare è l’unica cosa per te. Guarda quante cose ci sono da imparare.
📖✍️
Scienza pura, l’unica purezza che esista. Puoi apprendere l’astronomia nel corso di una vita, la storia naturale in tre, la letteratura in sei. E poi, dopo aver esaurito un miliardo di vite per medicina, biologia, teocritica, geografia, storia ed economia… ebbene, puoi cominciare a costruire una ruota da carro col legno giusto, oppure trascorrere cinquant’anni imparando a cominciare a imparare come ba***re il tuo avversario nella scherma. Dopo di che potrai ricominciare da capo con la matematica, fino a che non sarà giunto il momento di imparare ad arare."
📖✍️

(Terence Harbury White - Brano tratto da "Mago Merlino" - The once and future king - 1906/1964)

Con questo significativo e bellissimo brano ci salutiamo.
A domani!⭐
