It’s raining at a time when we’re expecting snow.
Town center is decorated for Christmas – a time of year that might not be white anymore.
On a distant shore thousands of thousands are far from that Christmas peace we are trying to find.
The struggle and turmoil in this world is getting to us, and we so need a break.
The challenges are lining up, but still too many of us are sleeping.
I wish to be one of them, just for a little while.
I ‘woke’ up and now I can not go to sleep again.
Bombs falling and starvation doesn’t take a break.
The massacres of nature, animals and humans doesn’t go on Christmas holiday.
The children in my life are not aware yet, what is going on.
I feel so worried for them, the way everything so rapidly changes.
Maybe I live in one of the safest countries in the world, but you must feel it too – how importance of the illusionary nation borders are fading.
The world is filled with different people, but we are now facing challenges as a humanity.
This world needs open hearted people now, more than ever.
Maybe not so much sick and exhausted – depressed and fiery – angry and negative… like me.
The world needs people that can keep inner balance and peace, no matter what.
So I give my self time for meditation, and space for retreat – now when I still can.
Trying to clean my head from all the impact of the newsfeeds…
… all the chatter and all the chaos…
So that when I get back out there again, I’ll do it centered – in my own power.
To do the best I can. As I am.
