Let Go to Be Free
In this world of fragmentation and disconnection, many are suffering the ugly duckling syndrome. We are trying hard to make sense of who we are. Where do I fit in? Who can see me for who I truly am? What is the origin of my unique human experience? We are often washed up on distant spiritual shores, and abandoned on precarious emotional cliffs, alone. What happened to the ugly duckling’s parents, the two beautiful swans? Did they die? Did they loose their offspring by accident? Were they in pain and left the hapless creature behind in...
read moreEmbraced by the Spirit, or About Peonies and Ants
Sometimes, all we need is a gentle nudge, a kind word to keep the flame alive. Or an encouraging smile. To open up. Even an irritating presence would do the trick. As I was thinking how to expand beyond the limits we impose on ourselves, I learnt about the peonies and ants. Before a peony unfurls its colorful petals, ants are attracted to the flower’s sweet nectar. There are those who believe that food is the only reason for the insects to be on the floret, while others maintain that they are beneficial, nay, essential, for the...

Speaking in tongues is about understanding each other. Yes, it’s good to know more than one language, but it’s equally important to be able to comprehend the other person’s point of view. Bilingual and multilingual individuals have stood at the crossroads of cultures for millennia. The practice of conveying a message from one language to anther has now become a huge for-profit industry. Unfortunately, the essence of the linguist’s work is pushed aside continually. They are abused, instead of respected as people whose occupation is to...
read moreTuning into Intuition
When nature showers us with its fresh display of will and beauty—joie-de-vivre—we’re inspired with desires to accomplish a lot in a short period. Yet, we tend to forget that rest is important, too, otherwise, we deplete the resources and cannot bring our dreams to life. I admit that I become impatient, especially in the Spring. Why does it take so long for the trees to grow their green leaves? Some are quicker than others. Some crochet their summer attire steadily, some advance in spurts. I know that soon I won’t be able to see the...
read moreBeyond Our Narrow Limits
Let’s celebrate Life: old and new. The decayed compost nourishes fresh offspring. Aged wisdom and young blood commune in heart-felt exchange. Steady warmth and flames of inspiration encourage us to create in mindful cooperation. Hug a tree, embrace a friend, revel in the beauty of Nature, immerse yourself in dance to the sounds of human speech and live acoustic music. Allow your Spirit to be on fire; nurture the warmth of your body. Bright yellow, pouring in from the stars of Gemini during the last month of Spring, bring...
read moreJoy, Creative Urge
Spring is fully here. Joy and excitement are in the air. Bright days have pushed the winter darkness away. Fresh energy, full of promise, encourages us to give birth to our dreams. Let’s embrace the fun adventures ahead. Yes, but… limitations of daily existence in the physical world might be discouraging. The constant noise, at times so loud that one cannot even hear the thoughts. How do you practice meditation and quiet contemplation against the sound of drills, penetrating your space? How do you stay at peace despite a demanding,...
read moreIn Bright Embrace
One step at the time. Visions are strong, Light is bright, but the cold still sends shivers down the spine. Birthing the new requires time, and patience, and strength. Rest and cuddle. Go about it playfully. The roots of your dream provide you with the main sustenance: the riches of the composted past. And trust that the Sun will gain more power, that its rays will reach the Earth, not only with Light, but with warmth as well. One step at the time, grounded in the daily life. Warm up your work with the abundance from your heart. ...
read moreBe Free of Shadows
When I opened the Soulful Sparks Calendar on the page for this week, I was pleasantly surprised. Be free of shadows, says the title. And the image is a gentle play of light and shadows, of fresh spring blossoms and old wooden house in the countryside of Slovenia, Europe. Someone took care to paint the window frames sky blue and put on soft white curtains. I can imagine a cozy room inside, for the Soul to contemplate, like a butterfly in its cocoon. Then the fledgling flutters the wings and shares its beauty with the nature outside....
