DIRECTIONS OF LIFE




You are an ancient and mythical captain who holds  confidently the steering wheel of your ship. You are a brave captain who by his will shortens  the distance between us or makes it so long. I am sitting on the sea shore, waving to you, and this is a sure sign for you that I am waiting for you. I am waiting for you in the stormy sea of life that swallows your ship.

You are raising the sails again. The sky is clear. Only a light breeze shows
the direction to me. You do not even need a compass. Your heart runs your ship. And he lands on my shore.

I am waiting for you on the beach, wearing a green dress that reflects the fatal glow of the sea. He goes first on the water, goes on
the top, doesn't fall from the weight of his body, and He even flies. You get off your ship and follow Him. You go on the water, and you do not sink, you follow the sun path of your heart.

When you find me on the beach, you leave your ship in the harbour, you put a deep anchor with the  intention to never leave me again.

And hand in hand, we go through groves, full of figs, temptation and sin. That is where I love your body. And you are suffocating in the arms of my summer body.

My summer body is lavish and rich with caresses and tenderness. My summer body smells like jasmine and orange blossom. The hair of my summer body wrap
s your soul, wraps your ship, plants the way to it with daisies and olive trees. They bring oblivion and delight. My dark hair locks you in the darkness of the delight and you forget that you are a brave captain and a warrior. You stay with me, we both do not want to remember.

But one day He goes again on the water, comes to us and reminds us that we are born
for the others as well and not only for our personal happiness. We need to mirror us into the others to see our reflection there  and to accept ourselves better.

And you, as a fearless captain, undress slowly and with reluctance my dark hair from your body and you go looking for the path to your ship that will take you away from me. Because there are new seas and countries waiting for you to
discover them. Because there is someone out there waiting for you to feed him and comfort him. Somewhere there is someone waiting for your compassion and mercy. Someone is waiting for you to wipe his tears and hear his story.

You walk away from me, promising to return again. And I  am staying waiting for the next ship. Because I am the eternal woman and the undying love.


There are many directions ahead of you, many ways you can leave with your ship. You can go on the road just for fun, wandering around the world pretending you are helping it by getting to know it. But the more countries you visit, the lonelier you feel. The emptiness of the big roads sticks to your heart and fills it with loneliness. That
is why you don't like traveling to consume personal impressions and to feed yourself with the landscapes. Because being a consumer is the easiest thing in the world. Maybe people with lots of money can buy a lot of landscapes that can be consumed. How easy it is to pass by  people and not to see them, not to get attached to them. Like a nomad to cross spaces and wander around different geographical names. But you are also a divine man, you can do much more than only to consume for yourself. You are not greedy for matter.

To feel compassion to s
omebody is harder. Because you need to include your heart, it learns to understand other people's pain and happiness. It learns to feel, comfort and bring mercy. Because that makes us close to God. And people like to be flattered by the fact that they are divine.

So you choose to communicate with people, hearts and souls, not only with geographical names and spaces. You want to look at other human souls to get to know your soul. That is how your youth goes in the desire to know your body and your heart. But the needs of your heart change, it starts to be ashamed of its selfish consumer needs, it needs to know what humanity is and what love is for your neighbor, without wanting a reward. Because that is the only thing that will prepare the  heart for eternity.

For that reason,
the time and your ship send you to places that someone needs you. You meet people who expect your human presence because they were too long alone in the sea of people. You bring light and warmth into their lives, you bring joy with your presence. You make people understand that they are the most important in the whole space, that they exist to get to know each other through the strangers. Because it is the only way that your love is real when you get nothing as a reward. You go thousands of miles, visit exotic places, walk through the deep deserts of the human heart, explore the icy spaces of the human soul. Where you go, life grows in the deserts, and the icy spaces of the soul keep warm and start dreaming of tenderness and togetherness. Where you go, you live  the memory of brotherhood and love. The memory of presence and meaning.

You conquer with warmth and affection the lonely spaces on
the planet Earth. You are so brave, you are not afraid to visit the military conflicts. There you are trying to teach people on both sides of the barricade that human life is valuable, the only thing worth living and not dying. Because it is a huge privilege to be a representative of life, because in the whole space, only on our planet it is possible. Both sides of the barricade listen to your words of peace, love and brotherhood. They stop the war, they pause for reflection and sit on the battlefield, and they begin to reflect on your words. They trust you, because you are brave and honest, you are love and mercy. They trust you because you do not sell or buy anything from them, you do not use money as a weapon. But you are kind and good and humane to them.

No one loves the soldiers, everybody just use them. They use them as a means of destruction that brings death. And the soldiers on both sides leave their guns and they start hugging like brothers, whose hearts suddenly remember that love is the one they have to obey. The soldiers remember that they were born to carry life, not death and destruction. And all those young, beautiful bodies dressed in military uniforms, they leave their guns and they go looking for their beloved ones. Because in the soldiers speaks the power and the energy of life that commands them to reproduce love and kindness.

You
also remember your love. You remember me. And your ship goes back in my direction. Where the fig trees will hide our sin where it smells of jasmine and oranges. And the smell of my hair is like a compass that points to the direction of harmony and love.

I am waiting for you on the beach, wearing a green dress that reflects the fatal glow of the sea. My dark hair is like sails that the wind swells to help you with
the speed.

And here
is your ship showing up on the horizon. And all nature is filled with peace, harmony and love. The storms obey love and declare a truce.

You stop your ship on my shore and the space holds its breath because life is about to multiply again. And this is the greatest cosmic event.

I am the eternal woman and the undying love.
