I get blown away every time I read this paragraph by Carl Jung:
To love someone else is easy, but to love what you are, the thing that is yourself, is just as if you were embracing a glowing red-hot iron: it burns into you and that is very painful. Therefore, to love somebody else in the first place is always an escape which we all hope for, and we all enjoy it when we are capable of it. But in the long run, it comes back on us. You cannot stay away from yourself forever, you have to return, have to come to that experiment, to know whether you really can love. That is the question-whether you can love yourself, and that will be the test.
We have sunsets, orgasms, oceans, forrest, mountains, stars, rainbows, fruits and vegetables that the earth births, children, the elderly, animals, beauty, laughter, taste buds to taste yummy food, flowers, and yet you still don’t see life as a magical experience?
we live on a planet where trees warn each other of danger through underground networks. where octopuses dream. where elephants return to the bones of their dead and stand over them in silence. where bees communicate through dance, showing each other where to fly. where flowers bloom...where crows remember human faces -especially those who were cruel to them - and pass that memory on to their young. where ants build entire cities. where cats purr at a frequency that can help heal bones. where forests, after fires, grow flowers first.
El día anterior a las vacaciones, la previa de un viaje, de una cita, de un concierto, los viernes, las ganas de decir te quiero antes de decirlo por primera vez, la víspera de reyes. La vida es mejor con nervios y con deseo.
Que privilegio estar cansada por el trabajo que una vez le pediste al universo.
Que privilegio estar abrumada por crecimiento con el que antes soñabas.
Que privilegio ser desafiada por una vida que diseñaste con propósito.
Que privilegio crecido tanto que ya no te conformas con lo que antes solo tolerabas.

Estoy segura de que un hombre tan alto con unas manos tan grandes tuvo aprender desde muy pronto la ternura para no romper todo lo que tocaba.Lo imagino practicando con empeño la gentileza y la dulzura. Por eso hoy puede llevar dentro del puño mi corazón de pájaro sin lastimarlo.
Heard the quote “You worry too much for someone who God has never failed”, and this is your reminder to put your trust in God even when it��s hard. God has never failed you, and He never will.
