Wednesday pondering – on endings and beginnings
It so happens that today is the 31st of December. Yeah, the last day of 2014 falls in a Wednesday, and as I saw it this morning, a voice inside me (yes, I hear voices inside me – calm down, I don’t listen to all of them :D) told me to make an attempt at … Continue reading
Wednesday pondering – on God
Yes, I know, it’s been a VERY long while. And honestly, I was kind of wondering if I’d get to write such weekly ponderings again, because I was caught up with tons of things around here. But it so happened today that, when I took my children to school today, my elder one’s teacher mentioned … Continue reading
Wednesday pondering – on mine and yours
I felt the urge of writing this because lately everybody around me seems so fondly attached to objects and feels the need to express possession of those – “my TV”, “my phone”, “my house”, “my room”, “my car”, “my, my, my…” and so on.

Wednesday pondering – on paths
Several days ago, being away from home, I happened to pass by some mountains that looked absolutely stunning, and I found myself thinking “these are so beautiful, I hope one day I’ll have the chance to know their beauty from a closer distance”. Then I remembered how, years ago, something similar happened. I was with … Continue reading
Wednesday pondering – on gardening tools
I was doing some spring gardening a few days ago, and at some point I saw my mother-in-law (who was visiting at the time) grabbing the scissors in order to remove some withered branches from a bush, and I heard her murmuring “that’s it, you waste the roots for nothing anyway”. I knew why she … Continue reading
Wednesday pondering – on yin & yang
Tonight I’m writing about duality – about the human need to perceive the whole world as an extrapolation of the yin/yang phenomenon. For those of you curious to know why I decided to muse a little on this topic, it’s because a lovely series of coincidences that happened today. First it was one of the … Continue reading
