Peaceful moments. . .



Gathered here, are moments of peace during my Birthday and these I 'd like to share. There were also of course more intense emotions such as being extremely moved or feeling lots of love & passion.
Am choosing to emphasize peacefulness, as there must be this critical point in everybody's life, regardless of the actual age, that someone feels in full acceptance of his / her life. Of all the happiness and all the pain, of all the struggles and all the rewards, of all sucesses and all failures.

Peacefulness is again one of this internal qualities that cannot be faked or dublicated.....somebody knows that he/she is in peace when life situations are absolutely acceptable and considered as blessings despite their imperfections...
One is in peace when anger is dealt, when grief is felt, when envy is healed, when there is the abilitity to see the beauty of our own selves and at the same time have all the place of the world for a million other fabulous people, without being afraid of comparissons, understanding that there are areas where we will prevail and others that we won't.

Being in peace means finding, cultivating and living our talents. and sharing them with the world. It means seeing the talents of others and being able to appreciate them, without hiding behind our own fingers, out of fear of finding ourselves less.

Being in peace means doing our best to be the best that we can for us, free of the need to be better than others. As our own selves become our means of measuring.

Being in peace means working hard to aquire characteristics, that others we admire have, at the same time cherishing theirs.
Being in peace is knowing that in life there is justice, and all we have to do is embrace it and act towards acheiveing it.



This is to my loving parents, who brought me in this world, my wonderful life partner who is also a teacher and a friend to me at the same time and in the memory of the amazing woman who was my grandmother, a lady of big heart and kind acts.
