It's a strange time we are all experiencing now. I did want to write a bit of update but I cannot not talk about big C word.
First, I will say that I am extremely grateful for my situation. I am a priviliged girl who has a beautiful shelter in the mountains, good friends around, nature escapes, good vegan food and all the comfort I need. I am not bragging about it, just really really being grateful for all.
Also, I am extremely lucky to be leading such nomad lifestyle of mine. From quite young age I have been practising the life of spontanuity and unknown. And I feel like now all that practise will be super handy. I know that so many people are put into this unknown feeling without a choise.
However, didn't we all knew that we are not really in control? I guess we can control our minds and behaviours but we can't control the events.
And I know, my situation is so sugar coated that perhaps it's easy for me to accept that unknown. But I also feel that I learnt it through my life.
I am very sad about the ones, who are so vulnerable and ill and perhaps very very worried about the future. I am sending my love and support to you. Spirituality teaches me that this too shall pass.
Each day I see so many expressed opinions online and I guess I am expressing mine now but I am on the same boat with people who believe that this all Corona Virus madness came to teach us something. I personally strongly believe that we really can learn something positive out of it.
On my side, what did I learn so far? I guess I just been affirmed that all we have is now. Yes,cliche, but I really feel that so strongly now.
Another thing that I learn again and again that without people, without loving support, community we are really lone and perhaps disable wolfs. How beautiful is to see now everybody connecting online. Calling their family and friends, arranging skype conferences, doing workshops, teaching skills online, sharing and supporting each other. There are many greedy people in the world but compassion is taking over.
Another thing that I see so strongly is how I and you and all the people around need balance in their lifes. Again, I am extremely lucky to be the one who doesn't run with thousand tasks, I find time for myself, I stop, I reflect and continue. In some way I don't need some virus to make me give some self-love and chill out card. But that, I learnt from being a nomad. There are cycles and rhythms and I try to respect each.
Corona Virus made me also realise how much I am interested in sustainable off grid-living. I feel that I don't know enough life skills, so perhaps once it is all over I would like to learn more about growing my own food and practise off grid-living.
The earth is in joy at the moment. All the CO2 emissions from travelling and transport reduced a lot. This new silence in the air is beautiful. I bet all the wild animals are having some raves now :)
And don't get me wrong, I do understand why so many people are sad, afraid, scared, worried. I have those feelings sometimes too. But I am also learning how to go through chaos. How to acknowledge, reflect and draw some conclusions out of it.
It breaks my heart to see animal sanctuaries losing their working forces, volunteers. It breaks my heart to hear abut people trapped on their own in some small flat in the city. It breaks my heart hearing about domestic abuse, fights and all that. It breaks my heart hearing about the deaths of vulnerable and ill people. It breaks my heart of hearing the stories about our superhero medics and staff working non-stop and saving lifes. But deep inside I am sure that all will be alright. That's what my mum always taught me, that's what I will always carry with me too.
I am sending all my love to my family and friends, and to those that I don't know. Be here and now, stay strong, be kind to each other and support.
With a lot of love,
Ligita
