A small step

A small step acrylic on wood 

A flower opens again every year. Buds grow on the branches. The Light comes back every time. In nature, things happen without pressure, without effort. There is no resentment, there is no pride. It is what it is.

It takes its time, as much as it needs. It does not wish. It is. We humans sometimes forget that we are also allowed to take our time. We don't need to be fast at all. The pressure we put on choices, situations, or others. You don't have to.

Then we say, 'but it has to be. It has to be now! That has to happen.' Or 'but everyone does.' Then the other is blamed for our haste.

This is our time. This is our life. You are you, and I am me. The other is the other. We are responsible for our actions. Even though, you have had different examples growing up. Even, if the other person did hurt you first. Even though the other one has always been like that. The other is the other.

Sometimes we don't know any better, and sometimes we only forget to look, listen and be quiet. Pointing at someone else does not make progress. Be the change you want to see in the world. Take the space to feel what you feel. Do not suppress anything and let it go. Everything is what we think of it.

I wish you to live your life for you. Go have fun, share love and be you.

Thank you for staying.
