i've been home for a while. have taken care of my family through thick and thin, and a few more ambulance rides. got confused about the vague lines that separate roleplays, life and responsibilities. been with the kids and the parents and am both of them. i have let myself just be and do what i'm supposed to do. this includes being a rock to stand on, and that's fine.
the Christmas like I had a second family.
we have a tradition at YMCA Riga to celebrate our own Christmas. every year this is one of my top favorite days. with carols, open-fire, self-made presents, traditional dishes, candles in the Christmas tree, vast snow fields, healthy forests and deep silence outside. lots of joy and warmth inside. and the little fear about what will happen with us next year. what will happen to the Y. we live and see. we do it best with great people around.
the scenery of innocence and massive beauty.so i'm from the North. not the biggest fan of cold, yet i love the change and living through different seasons. getting the whole palette. this winter has brought an unbelievable snowfall, a thick, peaceful layer of white on everything. even on places where it's cleared away. even on me. walking through the forest makes you turn on the mind-cam and record all you see for the beauty is stunning. you stand there, gaze in amazement and realize how distant you've become from nature. you do get scared when you see a wolf staring at you. you do get overwhelmed with how even and calm the earth looks. close to perfect and innocent. gather some hope.
the coziness and warm welcome.
of course, it's good to be where you belong. where you randomly meet people you know, get asked to meet up, to help out, to do something together. where people show up to where you're playing because they just want to. it's quite a jolly thing, when you do it all for fun. and it's soothing, the whole process. to see the reactions of the audience and feel the magic in the air, that's the kick, the feedback, the fun and everything. gives me starry eyes. it's good to be at ease with people, tuck yourself up in coziness and enjoy the inner warmth of the winter. i am well aware of how lucky i am.
a round up, sum up and all the bells ringing. what for? for a lot of things to come. lots of work and effort, fun, living and life. focusing, channeling dreaming and going for it. a different taste of being me, being young and enjoying the small (and big) things.
i'll quote my bro' : the best things in life... aren't things.
be jolly and be good
