Stories of a Little Girl 2

She was running wild with the wind in her hair, feeling the vitality of the grass under her feet. It was soft but strong at the same time. Most of the time she would be in deep thinking, finding small things and turning them into life-matter questions or lessons in her head.

It was a beautiful sunny day with a little bit of wind that left from winter days. The cold she didn't like seemed to be leaving her bones and bringing warm news into her heart. ‘Seasons’ she whispered with a smile on her face. ‘Just like nature, we go through seasons and each of them is needed for the next one.’

She kept moving and arrived at the cliff. Many would say it was dangerous but she was mesmerized by the view and wanted to take it all from the edge. One big butterfly crossed her eyes and flew away quickly with its big deep forest brown wings. There were even burnt orange spots on it, what an artistic combo! She started to laugh at her thoughts.

Thoughts... They were a lot more friendly lately… More familiar, even if she may dare to say ‘calm’… Wait, how dare you? For such a big sparkling passionate heart? Huh!

‘I guess that's the way my friend’...

She kept talking to the butterfly that left her limited view but she knew it was there somewhere, hearing her. Nothing ever existed could actually disappear, right? It was there. Everything was there at the same time, together in harmony as it should.

She started to think about how once what she feared the most became her friend... It was so clear that humans could turn fears into superpowers. Not just accepting and trying to forget but literally transforming.

How?

By facing them, living them, feeling them, and finding the treasure it has to offer.

Another piece of information once read somewhere was appearing, melting in the consciousness, and turning into wisdom… ‘It is not the first’ she said. And definitely not the last.' Now she was laughing loudly again. Every new experience on the road was making her realize how little she knew or remembered.

‘We are just starting my dear gorgeous butterfly friend. A lot more to learn, a lot more experience, maybe fail(!), get up, connect and surely a lot more to LIVE. Let’s give a good show to this lifetime!

THANK YOU🤍
