After such a long time, I was finally able to do the Vipassana meditation course •
ten days of silence, observation, deep meditation.
Disconnected from the outside world, my full attention turned inward:
toward myself, my perception.
These ten days were a journey of deep inner work,
requiring dedication, patience, and perseverance.
It was not easy ~ but it was powerful, profound, and filled with teachings I will carry for life.
When I returned, I felt immense peace, stillness, clarity.
For a moment, I believed I had reached that state — that it would stay with me.
But of course, as Vipassana so clearly teaches:
everything changes. Everything moves. Nothing is permanent.
So life unfolded… and I found myself once again
not so calm, not so centered • reacting.
It’s curious, how deep work can sometimes feel like it takes us a step “back.”
But perhaps it’s simply that we touch uncomfortable places,
stir things from the depths.
The mind becomes sharper, more aware ~ patterns reveal themselves more easily.
And maybe, each time we stand from a slightly more awakened place * still reacting, but less than before.
Life 🌀
The law of nature is movement,
change ~ the arising and passing of all things.
I am trying now to live a little bit more in presence • just being, observing.
I love this photo from when I was in Ecuador a few months ago 🙏🏼
a moment of pure presence, connection, and inner peace.
Thank you to my friend .de for capturing this special moment
