I really love when I am biking around the heart of the city. DC offers such a sights and joy for the eyes and soul. It’s truly one of my best things to do anytime, it’s never gets old and gets me excited as if seeing it for the first time. Now with Covid the streets are less busy and touristy crowd is missing and it’s a pleasure to see monuments all by myself sometimes. Its frees up my head and clears my mind.

I can imagine we all have had some difficulties in our own way during this crazy times of Covid and quarantine but I hope that everyone found out or discovered something for themselves whatever it might be. It’s also a reminder that nothing is final and world, people, situations change and if you can always choose to be gentle and kind to another whenever you can.

Love isn’t just about an admiration  of virtues, but also about a sympathy and generosity towards what is weak and imperfect in us.

what is reality?

I wish my heart was never broken, I wish i never had any expectation to have to face the reality that is different. I wish things were different. On other hand I acknowledge that human beings are complex, so many things drive us, our needs, our desires, our insecurities; things are just never easy. I was told to find an inner piece despite the perceived reality i have created myself. But I am unable to do so for now. i might be on thin line between what is true and what is in my head, but what does matter really at the end? should we accept the fact that we never have any control on outside and only focus on ourselves and what’s inside us?

I can already feel spring inside me

If you know it’s unhealthy, burn it. If you know it’s toxic, burn it. If you know it’s going to destroy you, burn it. Why burn it? Because you can. Because fire is good. Because it cleanses. Because little bird, that’s how you turn into a phoenix.

i love winter. i love seeing twinkly lights everywhere. i love blankets and fuzzy socks. i love gloves and matching scarves. i love hot beverages and smiling families. i love the smell of pine and cinnamon. i love snuggling and knit sweaters. i love every single cheesy christmas song that comes on the radio. i love snow and how the light reflects off of sheets of ice at night. i love it.

Da steh ich und muß denken und muß sinnen, so wie ein Träumender verloren sinnt. Mein ganzes Herze konntest du gewinnen, in einem Augenblick, geliebtes Kind, und um mein Sein die leichten Fäden spinnen, die zart und weich, doch unzerreißbar sind. In meinem Busen glüht ein wonnig Minnen, und längst erwachten schon so sanft und lind des Herzens süße - zartgehegte Triebe im goldnen Morgenstrahl der jungen Liebe.  

~  Rainer Maria Rilke
