ABOUT ME

changing
Meet me and you will see who am I or who I am not
breathe in breathe out

Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you
Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here,
And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask permission to know it and be known.
Stand still. The forest knows
Where you are. You must let it find you
Even If I am standing still I am in constant motion...

I am back in Riga for a while

Almost a year ago I left my country with couple of things in my backpack. Found my self living and volunteering in different communities and meditation/retreat centers across UK. Now (after 30 years of living in the city) at last I live on a remote island in Scotland, so close to nature, wildlife and my self. learning from the others.
we are here for each other in this world that's for sure

PHILOSOPHY

Being
Do you spend most of your life running after things, doing things? Have you forgotten that being comes before doing? Those who remeber this secret make an effort to 'be' and discover that when they stop and observe, life helps and brings whatever is needed.

vegetarian/vegan/rawfoodist = something in between. we are what we eat.
I don't drink alcohol, but I don't mind if you do it, I will drink water..and will ride my bike..yo!

Music, Movies, and Books

music is all around. and silence is the most wonderful music ever. have you sat on a top of the hill/near the sea/in the woods and listened to the sounds around without thinking?

books, hmm, during studies red a lot of fiction books, classics and all that. now I am interested in real stories not in fiction. real experience. direct experience, lets live the life and lets read the books as well
