Back in the game on April Fools' Day...not the most serious day! So I want to make sure that I let you know-what I write today is not a joke...I mean it, every word.
The reason I haven't been writing is Chris Guillebeau, to be more precise a chapter of his book, and the reason I am writing again is Chris Guillebeau and his latest post http://chrisguillebeau.com/3x5/the-family-who-doesnt-understand/
I am seriously upset with Chris. He seems to be the spokesman of my thoughts and sometimes my own blog feels pointless when I read my thoughts on his blog. *Is it too late to say that this is a joke after stating at the beginning that I mean every word???OoopS*.
Two things happened in the same time. I got to the chapter where Chris reminds the readers of the two most important questions in the world 1. What do you really want to get out of life 2.What can you offer the world that no one else can?
The second thing was, a friend asking me why am I writing this blog and what do I want to get out of it?
The questions that Chris asks, for me apply to everything that I do. They're relevant for all the tiny little pieces that construct the incredible mosaic (at times very complicated and blurry) called- "My life".
That includes my blog.
I felt like the centipede that was an incredible dancer. In case you don't know the story:
The centipede was an incredible dancer and all the little insects came to see it dance. One day after the performance another centipede approached and asked: "You are an incredibly skilled dancer. Could you tell me do you first move the 63rd leg and then the 95th, or is the 96th and then the 43rd?.....The following day the centipede couldn't move a single leg!
After facing those questions that's exactly how I felt. At that time it felt right to find the answers to the questions, and without even noticing I stopped writing.
Today I was reminded why I started writing my blog: To follow the process- my search for those answers. I started it because I love sharing experiences. And I LOVE to do that through writing.
And I'm baaaaaaaaaaack *Hurray,Hurray*.
Stay tuned to meet Sever the cutest Roma beggar that made my soul smile and cry all at the same time.
P.S I will go as a fire(wo)man today. I thought that my pupils might become all too excited if I go as a witch and find a confirmation of their fears :D
...I love the energy in this blog! and since today it's April 1st, I like to add
ReplyDelete'Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.'
as Steve said during the 2005 commencement at Standford while encouraging those young minds 'to find what they love'. I love that speech: to stay hungry and foolish is what keeps us in 'the process of finding out the answers to that question :-).
This is a beautiful reflection... on what happens when we ask ourselves a "big" question. Freeze? Let it stop us from acting because we don't know the answer? Or allow the question to work inside us, unanswered, and "take upon us the mystery of things" and let the living be the answering. Love this. x
