A party under a dark sky,
Heavy rain and thunder.
People with childlike hearts
And at the same time
With the strength of great warriors,
And muddy bare feet.
From afar
It might have seemed they were only
A bunch of people dancing,
But what was happening was much more than that...
They were wolfs
Howling to the dark moon,
Chants of freedom,
Like there was no tomorrow,
Like yesterday never existed...
Truly free,
Truly fearless,
Truly naked of past and future.
That moment belonged to all of them,
And they belonged to that moment...
It didn't matter what the future would bring,
What the past gave them or took away...
That moment was all they had,
When their paths crossed once again
In that healing land.

So many different lifes
That would come together once in a while
And it didn't matter what was behind
Or ahead:
When they were together
There was a feeling of oneness.

The fire pit was never lit that night.
Instead, the fire was shining and burning
In their bodies,
In their hearts.
There was music...
The thunderstorm playing drums,
The rustling leaves,
The sea song, just around the corner.
There were games of shadows,
Souls pouring the light and the darkness
Into those sacred grounds.
Those people were growing
(not only getting older)
At the sound of every beat,
With every step,
With each breath
(even if they didn't realize at the time).

Those moments were made of many things
Not only of rain and dark forest corners...
But every time there was a storm
The same thing would happen in the end:
The rain would stop
And the sun would rise.

Healing Nature

Joana Silva Oct 2018

Healing Nature

I feel the green grass under my feet and I feel blessed.
Whether my skin is being kissed by the sun
or dancing with the waves of the sea,
I feel blessed.
When my feet are ***** with dust,
My lungs feel the clean air around, smelling the Nature,
And my hair is a complete mess,
I feel happy.
I love the little things life gives us.
I feel so grateful for those people who made me grow,
Even if it was hurtful in the past,
Because I am learning to forgive.
Forgive and let go.
Heal. Myself and others.
From the past and from the fears about the future.
Because miracles happen. No, not only in movies.
I've heard about them, I saw them, I felt them before.
Sometimes I have doubts and fears
And I let my Ego speak louder than my Soul.
But my Soul is patient, kind and she knows wounds need time to heal.
So she whispers nice things to me when I'm scared
or feeling lonely,
or feeling sad.
My Soul puts her arms around me in a giant hug of Love,
Compassion,
Forgiveness,
Peace.
She tells me to believe.
That I'm worth it.
That I have miracles happening in my life too,
"or did you forget?" she asks.
She shows me my past, when I thought I couldn't make it,
But it did,
When I though it was impossible,
But it wasn't,
When I thought I was alone,
But I had so many people right there, waiting, with their arms wide open,
And with lots of Love to give me.
Suddendly I feel myself smiling,
Sometimes crying at the same time,
While I feel more and more gratitude in my heart,
Because the messages I need to evolve, to break all the chains,
and knots, and blockages,
They always find a way to get to me.
So to all of you, right there, I love you
And I'm grateful you are part of my life
