Hanne´s pictures

This was a sad week, because 2 of my friends lost their loved ones after a long battle against cancer. Losing is never easy. Sometimes we chose leaving and that´s something else. They didn´t. They were loved, they loved, they wanted to stay, but they had to leave. I think of cancer as a desease that appears so one can be taken care of. I think also someone with a lot of sadness or anger con accumulate enough of bad energy so it can become a cancer. Life can be lost, jobs can be lost, opportunities can be lost… but the soul lives on. I like to believe that loved ones, when they die, it´s like they move far, far away in a place where they can be forever glad, healthy and peaceful. I imagine it as a place so strange and far to what i´ve ever seen, that it could look like this…
I like to think that one day we will all meet there, catch up the news, live happy ever after. I believe this is just the ‘warm up’… real fun starts when we are free from the heavy matter and energy. Freedom at last. Challenge and the adversity are things we have to deal with after we lose someone we love. But that´s part of this game called life. Real living, I believe, is for those who continue, after they leave this silly game full of loss and pain.
Thank you Beth for fighting bravely for love and life.
Thank you Carla for the example of love, patience and devotion.
Thak you Hanne for the lovely photos (I believe you were in heaven looking for Fred and took this pictures to prove it) – hope you don´t mind using them to convince my friends now…lol
Thank you Ricardo for the bravery – and the meaningful New Year´s Eve. you gave me.
Thank you Jamie for showing that it´s always possible to get new (and even better) starts. (Congratulations girl!)
Thank you Mathias, mom, sis, dad, bro – those who stay, and those who go – proving love is, even when it´s gone
Thank you friends for helping me so much with your own examples. We will always be connected through love
obrigada, obrigada, obrigada

In times of darkness and pain, angels, disguised as friends send us hidden messages that are pure alchemy, pure blessing, pure love.
So did a friend of mine today. I hope you too enjoy this lesson.
Become a Lake
An aging Hindu master grew tired of his apprentice complaining, and so, one morning, sent him for some salt. When the apprentice returned, the master instructed the unhappy young man to put a handful of salt in a glass of water and then to drink it. “How does it taste?” the master asked. “Bitter,” spit the apprentice. The master then asked the young man to take another handful of salt and put it in the lake nearby. Once the apprentice swirled his handful of salt in the water, the old man said, “Now drink from the lake.” As the water dripped down the young man’s chin, the master asked, “How does it taste?” “Fresh,” remarked the apprentice. “Do you taste the salt?” asked the master. “No,” said the young man.
At this, the master took the young man’s hands, offering, “The pain of life is pure salt; no more, no less. The amount of pain in life remains exactly the same. However, the amount of bitterness we taste depends on the container we put the pain in. So when you are in pain, the only thing you can do is to enlarge your sense of things . . .
STOP BEING A GLASS. BECOME A LAKE.”
***********************************
O velho Mestre pediu a um jovem triste que colocasse uma mão cheia de sal em um copo de água e bebesse.
-’Qual é o gosto?’ – perguntou o Mestre.
-Ruim’ – disse o aprendiz.
O Mestre sorriu e pediu ao jovem que pegasse outra mão cheia de sal e levasse a um lago.
Os dois caminharam em silêncio e o jovem jogou o sal no lago. Então o velho disse:
-’Beba um pouco dessa água’.Enquanto a água escorria do queixo do jovem o Mestre perguntou:
-’Qual é o gosto?’
-’Bom!disse o rapaz.
-’Você sente o gosto do sal?’ perguntou o Mestre.
-’Não disse o jovem.
Mestre então, sentou ao lado do jovem, pegou em suas mãos e disse
-’A dor na vida de uma pessoa não muda. Mas o sabor da dor depende de onde
a colocamos. Quando você sentir dor, a única coisa que você deve fazer é
aumentar o sentido de tudo o que está a sua volta.
É dar mais valor ao que você tem do que ao que você perdeu. Em outras palavras:
“É deixar de Ser copo, para tornar-se um Lago.”

somewhere…
February 2, 2010 · 1 Comment
There is an imaginary world somewhere in time and space, where everything is possible.
People are happy, loved, faithful, colors are true, intentions are noble, gestures are kind.
A place where no harm can be done, no dream is impossible, no heart can be broken.
No pain, no fear, no weakness, only beauty, goodness, peace.
It´s of course only an imaginary place. But is a safe place, where good thoughts have a chance to be born.
