#57 NEW OPPORTUNITIES

Ves blišč in vznemirjenje po božiču in prehodu iz starega v novo leto je v večji meri za nami. Sledi počasno pospravljanje znakov tega obdobja. Sledi pospravljanje vseh lučk, okraskov in tudi sladkarij. Razmišljam, kako krut je pravzaprav prehod iz veselega decembra v turobni januar. Prehod se zgodi pričakovano, pa hkrati tako nenadno in kruto. Še včeraj smo doživljali pričakovanje in radost, danes pa že stopoma po sivem, od dežja mokrem asfaltu. In prav zares je siv. Za nameček čutimo še krivdo zaradi vseh stvari, ki jih nismo ali pa smo naredili lansko leto. Iz tega vidika se mi zdi postavljanje novoletnih zaobljub smiselno, čeprav sama tega zares nikoli nisem počela. Smiselno je, da si postavimo cilje, ki nas bodo lažje popeljali tja do pomladi in začetka poletja. Smiselno je, da se vprašamo, kaj si resnično želimo storiti. Smiselno je, da izstopimo iz tako priljubljene cone udobja in si postavimo izzive za novo leto oziroma prihajajoče obdobje. Dane so nam možnosti, da postanemo pogumnejši, iskrenejši, odločnejši, manj obtoževalni, bolj sprejemajoči, bolj pozitivni … Vsem vam želim, da sledite svojim željam in ciljem in da se zavedate, da je zgolj srce tisto, ki nam kaže pravo pot. Vse dobro v letu 2016!

// Throughout the glamour and excitement after Christmas and the transition from the old to the new year is largely behind us. Below is a slow cleaning all of the signs of that period. Followed by cleaning all the lights, decorations and candy. I'm thinking about how cruel it is actually a transition from merry December to gloomy January. The transition is expected to happen, but at the same time so sudden and brutal. Yesterday we experienced an expectation and joy, but today we are marching on the gray asphalt wet because of the rain. And indeed it is gray. On top we still feel guilty about all the things that you did not or we did last year. From this perspective, it seems to me reasonable to setting New Year's resolutions, although I haven't really ever done this. It makes sense to set goals that  will easily take us up to the spring and early summer. It is reasonable to ask ourselves what we really want to do. It is worthwhile to stand out as favorites comfort zone and put ourselves in the challenges for the new year and the upcoming period. We get the possibilities to become more courageous, sincere, assertive, less accusatory, more welcoming, and more positive ... I want all of you to follow your desires and goals and to realize that only the heart is the one who shows us the right path. All good in 2016!

#56 MERRY CHRISTMAS

Tu je del leta, ki je najbolj magičen. Med ljudmi vlada neka posebna energija. Zdi se mi, da smo bolj strpni drug do drugega, se imamo bolj radi in si bolj radodarno poklanjamo prijetne občutke. Edino, kar me v tem času resnično žalosti, so polni nakupovalni centri ljudi, ki mrzlično nakupujejo še zadnje malenkosti, za katere mislijo, da jih nujno potrebujejo.  Ali res potrebujemo vse to? Ali ni dovolj že to, da se imamo radi med seboj, da smo si naklonjeni in prijazni drug z drugim? Mar ni dovolj že samo čas, ki ga bomo preživeli z najbližjimi? Božič je čas, ko se lahko povezujemo, je čas za družino in usmeritev vase, v svoj notranji svet. Ves blišč in hitenje nam le kvari možnost umiritve in poglobitve vase. 25. december ima pomembno vlogo tudi v povezavi z našo najbližjo zvezdo, Soncem, saj se le to začne pomikati nazaj proti severu. Starodavne civilizacije so to pojmovale kot ponovno rojstvo Sonca. Ljudje so bili včasih veliko bolj povezani z naravo in so to zagotovo doživljali močneje. Današnji človek je oropan teh doživetij. Pravzaprav smo se jih oropali sami. Če le natančneje prisluhnemo in se nekoliko poglobimo vase, mislim, da lahko ponovno čutimo in živimo z naravo. Lep in miren božič ti želim!

// Here is the part of the year, which is the most magical. Among the people exist some special energy. It seems to me that we are more tolerant to each other, we love each other more and more generously give pleasant feelings to others. The only thing it makes me sad are shopping centers  full of people who shop with feverish haste until the last little things, they think that they desperately need. Do we really need all this? Is it not already enough that we love each other, that we are kind to and friendly with each other? Is it not enough just the time that we spend with loved ones? Christmas is a time when we can connect, it's time for our family and our focus on inner world. All the brilliance and haste  only ruin the possibility of slowdown and deepening in ourselves. December 25th  has an important role also in relation to our nearest star, the Sun, because it just starts to move back to north. Ancient civilizations understood that as the rebirth of the Sun. People were much more connected to nature and felt this changes more  powerful. Today's man is deprived of these experiences. In fact, we have robbed ourselves. If we only listen more accurately and slightly deepen in ourselves, I think we can feel and live with nature again. I wish you a beautiful and peaceful Christmas!

#48 WE ARE ALL THE SAME

Večina ljudi se med sabo primerja. Druge ocenijo kot boljše ali slabše v primerjavi s sabo ali drugimi. Pogosti dejavnik primerjave je zunanjost. Ljudje opazujemo drug druge in razmišljamo in/ali komentiramo njihov tip telesne zgradbe, način oblačenja, pričesko, ličenje, obnašanje itd. Seznam je lahko neskončen. Redko kdo je takšen, ki tega ne počne. In edino tako je prav. Nihče nima pravice ocenjevati drugih po teh lastnostih. Pravzaprav ni nihče boljši in nihče slabši, ker smo si vsi med sabo zelo podobni. Žal so tudi teme pogovorov med ljudmi pogosto zgolj in samo o omenjenih stvareh. Več bi se morali pogovarjati o naših razmišljanjih, videnjih določenih stvari, ki se nam dogajajo, o naših občutkih in na sploh več o nas samih in naši osebni rasti in razvoju. Imamo se za zelo razvita bitja, pa tega žal ne dokazujemo prav pogosto.

// A lot of people compare oneself with others. They judge other people as better or worse then they see themselves. The main factor of comparison is often appearance. We observe each other and thinking about or comment their body type, style, hairstyle, make up, behaviour and so on. This list can be endless. There are only few of people who don't do this. And only this way is right. Nobody has the right to evaluate other for these attributes. As a matter of fact no one is better or worse, because we are all the same.  Unfortunately, the talks between human beings are often strict and purely on these things. We have to think and talk more about our thoughts, different aspects of the same theme, about our feelings and in general about us and our personal growth and development. We think, we are highly developed creatures, but unfortunately this is not proving very often.

#41 FIND THE TRUTH

Resnica ni vedno tisto, kar se nam zdi na prvi pogled. Včasih je potreben odmik sam vase in premislek o vsem, kar se nam dogaja. In ko ugotovimo, da ni vse tako, kot se nam je ves čas delo, je potreben premik. Potrebno je nekaj spremeniti, da lahko zaživimo tako, kot je najbolje za nas in za vse okrog. Otresti se moramo svojih starih načinov delovanja in začeti delovati drugače. Za svoje življenje smo odgovorni sami.

// The truth is not always like it seems at first sight. Sometimes it is necessary to withdraw into ourselves and reflect about everything what happening to us. When we find out that is not everything as we have always thought, it is time to move. It is necessary to change something, that we can begin to live as it is the best for us and anyone/anything around us. We have to get rid of our old way of functioning and begin to act in different way. We have life in our own hands. 

#34 LAST DAY OF MAY

Danes je zadnji dan mojega najljubšega meseca. Ob koncu maja vedno čutim neke vrste žalost. Res je, da prihaja pravo poletje, pa vendar se končujejo dnevi, ki so meni najljubši. Samo v tem času je narava tako polna življenja. Zjutraj se oglašajo ptiči, čez dan in proti večeru je v ušesih glasba murenčkov, ponoči pa nastopi poseben mir. Ne znam povedati, vendar sem v tem času resnično zaljubljena vanjo in hkrati čutim veliko hvaležnost, da lahko živim v tem čudovitem prostoru. Včasih je težko opisati svoje občutke, ampak, ker so resnični, upam, da se jih čuti skozi zapisane besede. Zadnje čase pa mi daje veliko za misliti tudi dejstvo, da čas beži z neomejeno hitrostjo. Dnevi, tedni in meseci gredo mimo, za njimi pa ostajajo zgolj spomini. Težko je živeti v trenutku, ker le-ta mine tako hitro. Ravno zaradi tega se mi zdi pomembno, da preživljamo kakovosten čas. Pri tem imam posebej v mislih prosti čas. Včasih ga rada preživljam v samoti, včasih pa v ožji družbi, v družbi, ki mi pomeni največ – moji družini in ob nekaterih drugih ljudeh, ki so mi zelo blizu. Proste dni rada izkoristim od zgodnjega jutra naprej. Zjutraj mi paše biti sama s sabo, s svojimi mislimi in občutki. V tem času tudi rada začutim naravo okoli sebe, jo občudujem, ji prisluhnem in zgolj uživam v danem trenutku. Čez dan navadno postanem bolj družabna, saj se rada več pogovarjam. Prosti dnevi mi vlijejo veliko energije in me nekako izpolnjujejo. Najlepše je živeti mirne dni. Želim si, da bi jih bilo veliko.

// Today is the last day of my favorite month. Every year at the end of May I feel some kind of sadness. It is true that the summer is starting, but at the same time that means the end of my favorite days. The nature is so vivid and full of life only at this time of the year. At morning there are birds singing, during the day and at the afternoon we can listen to the songs of crickets and at the night time special peace occurs. I can't describe with words, but I am really in love with nature during that time and I feel a great gratitude that I can live in this beautiful space. Sometimes it is not easy to describe our own feelings, but because they are real, I hope you can feel them through the written words. I'm thinking recently a lot about the fact, that the time is passing by with unlimited speed. Days, weeks and months are passing by really fast leaving behind only the memories. It is hard to live in the moment when it is over so fast. Because of that I find it important to live a quality time. I mean especially  the free time. I like to be with my own sometimes and sometimes with my narrower company, in company who means the most to me – my family and some other people with who I am really close to. I like to make good use of free days from the morning ahead. At mornings I like to be on my own, with my thoughts and feelings. At that time I like to feel the nature around me, admire it, listen to it and just enjoy the given moment. During the day I become more sociable and usually I like to talk with others. Free days give me a lot of energy and make me whole again. The most beautiful are free days. I wish, there will be a lot of them.
