Those special people

Pushing the planet!

Have you ever felt that pieces of your life are falling into their place? One by one, somehow they squeeze right where they are supposed to be, without your effort

The snow…

I bumped into a small boy today on my way home from work. He stood there, in the middle of the street; arm wide open with palms pointing toward the

Behind my eyes

Behind my eyes, you will find love. It has always been there, taking different forms, increasing and decreasing in strength; hiding sometimes and retreating in defense, but always tangible and

Who am I to be sad…

I’ve met a sad person today. I was introduced to her and shook her hand and everything seemed normal until I looked her in the eyes. My smiled faded at

Everything’s OK

– This is it, my friend…“ a soft, sweet voice said in my head. “ This is the moment of your death. – It can’t be…“ I replied with a smile

Plains of Africa…

The world is such a beautiful place. I’m sitting in a small Cessna flying over breathtaking African planes; numb from all the beauty beneath and above me. Can we really

We are not alone…

We are not alone. We are not isolated from each other. It is so wrong to see ourselves as something separate. We touch people around us with our actions, emotions

Last thought…

I was standing at the edge of the cliff; my thoughts clear for the very first time. The sun was rising behind me and the trees sprung long, hazy shadows

Snow and fire…

The world was a giant surface of white and I stood in the middle of it, surrounded by nothing but wind and snow. Suddenly the imaginary path I was following

The Truth – Part II

(Continued from Part I) I waited. He was silent. I waited some more. – So? – I said impatiently. – So, what? -he replied. – So, tell me the truth!

The Truth – Part I

I took a deep, heavy breath, fighting for some air. The heat was burning my lungs, confirming what I already knew  – I’m in hell. I made another weak step

Motionless drowning…

I just lay there, unable to move; unable to grasp what has been taken away from me. The waves hit the shore with the power of my own anger, but

Small things that make you happy…

We try so hard. We strive for so many things; want to be better and do more. We chase our dreams and we plant our visions; water them, nurture them

Feel as small as you can…

Feeling big somehow turned out to be the goal for people these days. Be as big as you can; get all you manage to and conquer as much as possible.

Where have all the dreamers gone…

It feels like no one dreams anymore. People have plans; they settle down, they have their wishes, but what happened to big dreams? What happened to generations that would change

Superman…

Just out of something I wrote today… – I’d want to be Superman! – Really… Superman, huh? Well, everyone wants to be able to fly, or to have the super-strength…

Just let yourself go…

I was walking this evening, as I always do, observing the birds, feeling the wind on my cheeks, aware and expecting the rain to finally cool the hot summer days

Make it count…

It was a cold evening, one of those that surprises you right after the summer days are gone, but before the autumn ones really start. I was walking, lost in

I am still here…

I am old. I have been here from the Dawn of Mankind. I have seen mountains rising, lakes and rivers disappearing, forests turning old and dark. I am thousands and

I’ve met a sad person today. I was introduced to her and shook her hand and everything seemed normal until I looked her in the eyes. My smiled faded at

This is my church

Here I am, on the top of the world. I know the maps and scientists would disagree, but I don?t care. Right now, I am on the top of the

Even perfect love dies…

My friend called me today, devastated because his new girlfriend told him she needs some time off and that it?s best if they are not in touch for a while.

Dreams and miracles …

That’s what I like about you and your brother – she said with a sad face – You always dream and you always have plans, not like me.? I thought

Now as I die…

It was at that point, only then that I realized I might have missed something in my life: that I did not give my best at all. Only as I

A letter from God

I was wondering today what a letter from God would look like. What would He say to us, what things would he choose to write and underline. What would the

My heart uncomplete…

It is this helplessness I feel that hurts the most. This feeling that there is nothing I can do or say. This feeling that everything, my whole future lies in

Butterfly in the conference room…

…it is so unusual to sit in an empty congress hall where more than a thousand politicians, spiritual leaders, World Bank officials and advisers will debate their doubts, regrets, hopes

Thank you, rain…

I took a long walk yesterday. It was cold and it was raining, but I needed the fresh air and I knew that I’ll enjoy it all once I start

Defenceless…

I was standing there, just looking at her. She was so focused on putting her make-up on that she didn’t notice me standing right behind her. Well that’s what I
