Daily Witchcraft

Do you ever sit down to wonder and to reflect how this life is moving forward. How much you grow. How little!? I do. And the more I think and the more I try to learn to breath, the more tea I drink and the more words I put down on paper, the more exciting it seems to become! So todays quick list of things: 1. life and people are impermanent. 2. slow down. 3. look people in the eye. 4. drink tea. 5. be kind. 6. simple things hold the secret.

It's been days and nights of changes, contemplations and (re)discoveries. It's exciting. We reap what we sow and then we sow again. Sow love, hopefully. I found out once again a very well known truth -- the more you dream, the less you die!... Cheers for that!

To be honest it's more about the learning process. It's not so much of actually learning one thing, it's about taking the process as a reward. It's about daily magic. About juggling things, words, cups, books, fragrances or post stamps. All those things that mean something to you -- parks, films, lakes, hugs, coffee cups and books on life; ideas, dreams, phone calls, flowers; memories, planets, stars, drawings, clumsy cats, candles, chewing gum.... It's all about the ability to put all the things into days and into hours of those days. It's about balancing, about how you connect smell to a memory and water to hand; connect dream and sleep, tea and sugar, night and fear, evening and longing; it's about seeing the shadows behind the things and to see all that empt y space where you can scream but would never hear the echo. Sometimes I am trying to learn to bring things into the surface and to measure time in smoke, coffee cups and people in the queue's;...

Today I discovered a hopeful idea that " All human beings are also dream beings. Dreaming ties all mankind together." According to Jack Kerouac, anyways. I think it's always a challenge to thing good about yourself. I mean, seriously good. Without guilt and still keep that objective twist. All this week, in the mornings I listen to this song about people who makes their own computer out of macaroni pieces and it makes their thinking for them while they keep on going with their lives. The computers counted up the feelings and divided them up even: "And it called that calculation perfect love Didn't even know that love was bigger Didn't even know" ...and I wonder, how many times do we actually do things like that?!... How many times we let someone or something else calculate for us?!. .

Life is a journey. Some journeys bring you back. Some bring you forward. Some show you things you were too scared to see or admit and some just give you peace. "We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity." ~P. Coelho "The Alchemist" I am discovering that every single day and being confronted by the idea of the law of attraction. You are as good as you want to be. Especially to yourself. It's a very hard task though. Yet it's the most exciting experience -- building that kind of relationship with yourself, with the people, with the world around you!...

I have found out that mostly the last minutes before something -- lifting up a veil, going on holiday, revealing the last answer to a question... -- are the most anxious ones! It's the moment when you leave that certain familiar and let yourself go into the unknown.

I found out lately about the Mayan calendar. More information can be found here yet for m e it was absolutely amazing to participate in the celebration of the Day out of Time. Guess what -- the new year is the year of a yellow seed. If normally I would believe that every single day and single year is a key to your own new beginning and a great continuation of perceiving your dreams, this is yet another reason to think so. And it's brilliant! And, just to quote Oprah, cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right! P.S. Just to share something that made me think and smile:
