golden summer (in November)

And when you land in gorgeous places like this, glorious and majestic despite constant economical struggles and questionable justice, you are left wondering...

don´t we just worry way too much for petty things? 

Indisputable Fortune

Sometimes we forget how lucky we are. We think we had difficult parents, that our friends did us wrong, that our boss is a pain in the neck, that we grew up in the wrong neighbourhood and therefore need to be tough. Sometimes we like to play war. 

And sometimes we forget that the vast majority of us had a chance to experience innocence. 

This morning, Ishmael Beah reminded me of our indisputable fortune in his witty story reported by The Moth, which can be found here

Thank you, "unusual", sophisticated Ishmael. 

the good vibe

It's all about connection.
It's all about finding what links you to the others rather than what divides you from them.
It's all about building a common ground, going through the world with your shield down. It's that feeling that you know they know, that you feel they feel the same, they understand.
And to be understood, you have to understand. You have to stop, think,  analyse and think about how you communicate. How you can find a thread strong enough to carry your meaning until it meets the meaning of the other.
It's an exercise.  And as every other exercise, the more you practice, the better you get at it. The easier it gets.
