REVIEW

On the way back

in the train

the surrounding changes so quickly

From the lowlands towards the mountains

everything seems so different...

what was near is now far away

and what was far is becoming nearer and nearer

I can feel the mountain air in the distance

I can feel the smell of the ocean as well

from the ocean towards the mountains

from the rain towards the sun

from the Celts towards the Slavics

from now towards now

and from there towards there

everything seems so far away

everything seems to be so near

the change is here

SHOOL OF LIFE

Hard times

Good times

No difference

School of life

the best one

for everyone

rainy winter

darkness

and the tyranny

followed by spring

that sunny was

and full of friends

why go home?

I don´t know

just listen

to my inner voice

to the spirit of the forest

to the voice of freedom

the woolfs are howling

I can hear the drums in the distance

and have to run

run there

where the people

sing next to the fire

my dear brothers

and sisters

the light family

made of the indigo light

where without the fight

we share what shared be might

the only important thing

which everybody knows

just forgot about it

the God's essence

which everybody has

in the heart

in the hearth

where the love is

the love that spread is

eco house

Everything is possibe. It seems that there is no need to built big, expensive and ugly houses.
There are so many possibilities. Here is one of them:

Maybe later :-)

summer of love

Yes, yes, yeeees, why I don't care about my blog? But there is a reason that is going to be explained...
After I left my job in Ireland (what nobody expected neither did I) I came home for 3 weeks. and I enjoyed it really a lot! I met all the friends again and I saw the beauties of the magical Slovak nature again...
12th July the big day came and we started our big journey to the countries of southeastern Europe and we started our new job :-) Our working agreement was not so well done - we didn't have any idea how much we will earn, where we will sleep next day and our future was absolutely unsure :-D We became street musicians. Rodan as a very good musician, who plays everything he touch, this time learnt how to play the bagpipes and I as an absolutely beginner tried how to play the shamanic drum.

We started our journey in the north Croatia in Rijeka and we were heading for Greece.
In Croatia hitchhiking and basking weren't the best, but we tried to enjoy it and felt like on holidays - every second day in a different town, every day swimming in the sea and everyday evening work :-)
Monte Negro was even nicer - big mountains, the sea and fjords. Sometimes we felt like in the Norway just the temperature was probably much higher. There was just one problem - with our big backpacks and musical instruments to reach the top of the mountains was quite complicated. The only thing we could do was to look to the mountains from the see level and bark at the moon.
But anyway it was a great experience to live like this! From the beginning I was a bit shy to play in front of the audience because I have never done something like this but slowly slowly it started to be OK. I liked to watch the people's reactions and tried to guess what they are thinking about when they saw us playing. Some of them really enjoyed the music, started to dance and gave us some money, some of them just past, some of them commented that we should rather find a normal job and maybe they thought that we are just beggars without any home and education. If they new that we bought finished university :-D
After Monte Negro we passed Albania and it's capital Tirana. I can not really say anything from one day visit and only capital... But OK we were in Tirana and it was obvious that it is totally different culture to other European countries. I rather felt like somewhere in Asia than in Europe. I just remember that we saw a lot of colorful concrete blocks of flats and some mosque in the center and that's it. But I believe it can be a beautiful country covered with nice mountains and full of forgotten small villages...
After long long time spent in a bus and only 200 km in the dark night we got out from the bus in Macedonia. We had absolutely no idea where we will sleep and it was impossible to find a place for our tent. Situation started to be quite difficult because Rodan was sick so we ended up in a first guest house we found. But the next days was OK. We came to the nice ancient town called Ohrid. We enjoyed that we didn't need to play so much because everything was quite cheap.
When the moon was full we at last reached our dream destination Greece and beautiful town near the big lake Kastoria where we were invited for a Greek party with Greek music, Greek food and Greek everything... We stayed in a nice old house for 2 days and met very interesting people like hippie in hearth Nikos, who time to time lives in a cave or makers of ancient Greek musical instruments.
We visited and played in quite a lot of places of the northen Greece like Thessaloniky, much from Chalkidiky, beautifull town built on a hill - Kavala (where we earned unbelievably 140 Euro) and the magical island full of good energy Samotraky.
Samotraky was our holiday destination. Till that time we played nearly every day and we usually didn't spent more then 2 nights on 1 place what wasn't easy sometimes. We needed to go to holidays from our holidays :-)
It is a very special and beautiful island. In the middle there is summer residence of Zeus - mount Fengary, what means moon in Greek. It is great view from there to the both sides of the island. There is aninteresting magical forest with old Platanus trees that remember a lot from the past and the gorges are filled with glassclear water that creates waterfalls and small ponds where you can swim. Many people do so and quite a few from them are naked so we had the feeling that we must be probably in paradise :-)
In the village Therma we felt like back to the 60's - you go to do shoping and you can listen to the Doors, in taverna Led Zeppelin, another place - Dead can dance... Village is full of long haired hippies and stalls with beads, krystals and other interesting things.
This was our last trip together in Greece for the moment because dear Rodan had to live home. Children in the school were waiting for him.
But somehow I didn't really feel like going home so I stayed and tried to explore the other unknown greek places. Anyway I left my job, so what to do home now...
I am very lucky that I found somebody like him and he understood and didn't say anything about my choice. Sometimes it might be a bit difficult with me but I just need to go through it :-D I have always wanted to try to travell alone and know this feeling. I quite like it but I think it is even much nicer to share the experience but before I tried it I didn't know...
It is sometimes interesting, sometimes a bit sad, sometimes full of joy, sometimes adventurous, sometimes a bit dangerous, sometimes unsure but still it is just another interesting life experience that hopefully will bring me there where I always wanted to go - to the open hearth and peaceful mind.

Ocean dolphins and hills in Irish style

Yes I did it! At last I was two days off! And what to do? No way I will stay here in this busy city!
I opened a map of Ireland, found some national park and made a midnight decision. I packed my rucksack and set up my alarm to 5:30 in the morning.
Let's go to Galway - county on the west coast well known for beautiful nature and real Irish people that still use the Gaelic language.

Wow I get off from the bus in Galway and I didn't really know what I am doing here, where I will go and where I will sleep. But I found a tourist info, grabbed a map and went just straight away. It was very untypical weather for Ireland: 25 degrees and sunny. After few kilometers I started to hitch-hike and the journey began :-)
At the end of the day I found myself "surfing" in the ocean on the lent surfboard and listening to an interesting stories about ocean life from Anthony - the Irish guy I stopped somewhere in the hills.
Fuuuuu but this surfing is not as easy as I thought! It just seems to be. I hardly could sit on it! Sooo funny...
And this surronding there! It was some not very known beach so there were only few people there. Nice white sand, rocks, few islands in the distance and opened ocean. I couldn't believe it. When I was a child and I imagined the sea - it looked like this.

After a while something appeared in the distance. Anthony told it might be dolphins. And he was absolutely right. They were coming nearer and nearer and stayed there quite a long time. They were playing their games and they jumped from and into the water for maybe 3 hours.
Great sea beings!

I was falling asleep listening to the silent waves of the ocean and looking at the moon. If not those little flies :-) ...but totally by accident Anthony had a tent in the car so he lent it to me till the next morning because he went back to the town and stayed in the hostel. So I rather went in and slept by calm intensive energetic sleep.

I had an idea! I would like to go for a trek. But how and where? OK somehow. I started to hitch-hike and after a while the car with two Irish boys stopped. I asked them where they were going and the told me that trekking :-)
So I joined them and we had a fun. One of them - Diarmuid had a song for everything. Together they were very funny and I am glad I met them. We went together to one of the hills in Connemara national park. I was really impressed by the view! I wished I could stay there at least for one more day...

When we came down back to the car Diarmuid said to Ultan: "Come on Ultan! Girl from Slovakia is here we need to show her more..." So this is how I've seen the only Irish fjord. I have just one word for it very often used by Irish - gorgeous!

When I came home I was full of joy and thanks.
I looked at the map again and was surprised. Before I left Galway I just had a feeling that I would like to go to Baliconeely beach or maybe Roundstone. But I didn't remember the names just the position on the map. But when I was hitch-hiking it seemed to me that I am going somewhere else probably because I took different way that I wanted originally to take. But suddenly I realized that I visited both of this places without knowing about it.
And actually when I was in the bus I just visualized me sleeping next to the ocean an very nice place...
Everything came true!!! The power of visualization is very very strong. We people sometimes underestimate our big potential! We could visualize whatever we want and it will become true. This planet could be a paradise if we visualized it. We just need to believe in it and have a clear vision of our target. Everything else will just happen. We just need to let the heaven to do it's job.
May all the people find the god that is just in them. May all the people realize that we already are in heaven. May may may not only in May we all create the new dream of our planet :-)

Fasting

Spring time is the best time for cleaning the car. This year I decided to clean my car on earth - my body again.
Last year I had ideal conditions - I could go to the forest every day, I went to sauna, I could make a fresh juice every day but my confidence wasn't very strong. But anyway I did 7 days without the food.
This year was different. My confidence was quite strong, but the conditions...
In the middle of the city from which is not so easy to escape. I just started my new job after 2 months of unemployment so I had to go there every day and ... Irish people don't know what does it mean clyster... But anyway I did 4 and half days without food, just water and the nettle tea.

It was interesting to observe it. First day was easy because I already got used to it. Second and third day was a bit harder. There were whiles when everything slowed down and I just wanted to stop. But it wasn't possible because I was working and people kept asking questions and I had to continue. The fourth day I was off but I had to go to the city center. I was walking through the street of illusions - Grafton street and everything seemed to be very very slowly. I could feel tangle of aromas - Mc Donald, Govinda, Burger king, flowers, perfumes etc., I could hear people herd - voices condensed into one voice noise and I felt like in some computer program.

The next day I went to another pharmacy and asked the same question about clyster and I heard the same answer. This day I gave up. I cooked rice and started to eat. But anyway I thing it was very good and now I feel much better. My smell is much better, mind is not so busy than it used to be and the mark that was on my leg for nearly one year just disappeared.

Ajajaj I can recommend it to everybody. Here is the link where I found more information about it: http://www.healthy.net/scr/article.asp?ID=1996.

Lightworkers UNITE!

right and left

This moment practice...

Time is relative...when I found myself sliding on the road after I fell down from the bicycle in 70 km per hour speed everything was going very slowly. I had time to think where to put my hands, what to do with my head and how to place my body...
Everything went so slowly and that moment I was just "here and now". I wasn't thinking about what I will do tomorrow or what I will eat for the lunch...
My guardian angels had to do a lot of work. They had to make sure that there is no car coming and they helped me to get out of it only with few marks and tattered jacked...
Thank you my dears :-)
It was a good lesson...

Dreeeam

I was just living the ordinary life at that moment. I lived in a house with some people. Everyone there had its own "problems" and rules. Sometimes these people tried to "attack" me because I didn´t do something according to their own conception. My reaction to that challenges was very phlegmatic.
I was explaining my consideration to a friend. I told her I felt that it was not good being stoic. I was just hiding my emotions behind but they were still there waiting to be manifested. I couldn´t be harmonic inside with this attitude.
Suddenly a woman came to me and told she knew what was good for me.
Some Japanese people appeared and one of them was the master. He was the master of substantiation. I sat on the floor in lotos position and he was teaching. He showed people how to materialize the vegetarian chines food. The food just appeared on the wok.
I saw a bag there and I new the treasure was in it. But I couldn´t see what is in it because first I had to take a journey. I wandered through the desert. Some ninjas from the sky tried to attack me with the arrows but that time I was already a big master so I just swung the arms and the arrows was broken. I continued the journey and suddenly I came to the stairs that was made of sand as well. At the beginning it was easy to walk on them. It became harder and harder and suddenly I found myself on the wall made of sand and it was impossible to go any further. I had to fight not to fall down and there was a moment I nearly gave up and died. But something came into my mind and told me to keep going. I braced my energies and tried to climb again. It didn´t take long time and I saw the destination. I easily reached the point where I could rest.
But what was there? It was this bag with treasure that I saw at the beginning of my journey. I took it, looked inside, and started to laugh from the heart. I have never laugh so openly before. I couldnt stop.
There was just some chines food that I liked and then some of my old bijouterie in which some bits were broken. I had to take all the dangerous journey to come here and realized that not big tresures or anything very special make me really happy but the small things and detailes like good food, sunshine, communication or even grain of sand. Not the happy past moments make us happy, not the future that maybe will be nice but the particular moment is the only one which makes us really happy.
