Conscious Lithuania

Labas dear friends,

As I was walking yesterday morning with packed backpack and ukulele ready to leave, I looked at the same forest that I walked for these past two months and I could not hold my tears away. These two beautiful months spent in Lithuania like an old movie passed in front of my eyes and filled me up with so much joy and gratitude.

That same forest that I returned to, grey, cold and empty but so welcoming was looking at me full of life. The birds with their thousand songs, the trees and plants exploding with life, the ground, that soft and beautiful south lithuanian moss. 

I have arrived in Lithuania at spring time and I could never imagine how much I would like staying here. Usually I never really have a way out ticket so I felt free with my feeling to stay longer than before. And I did. 

Lithuania from my last visit was closed, entering winter, a little paranoid and divided. This time it greeted me way more open, conscious, warm and welcoming. What have happened?

I ended up cooking vegan feasts for my friends and family, reconnecting with my old friends and making new beautiful friendships. I ended up learning traditional lithuanian songs and talking about the things that I felt would never have been understood before. And once the nature exploded so as my spirit. I love life. And I love when I can see that life in nature.

As I am sitting now in my bus seat preparing myself for the night travel and crossing all big Poland, I don't regret that I am leaving and I have this warm feeling in my heart. 

I carry these wonderful days in my heart with so much love and gratitude. Lithuania can be so beautiful and there are so many wonderful souls living here that it feels good to leave knowing and experiencing that. There is nothing more beautiful than see the spiritual growth. And I see that in my country. Still many things to be changed but the path is built.

Yes yes so why do I leave I hear you ask. Well, first I am going to feed 80 hungry bellies in the Swiss Alps and then I just follow my heart to the South. I am the bird from the South and for now my wings take me there.

I will be in Portugal most likely all summer. Friends, let's meet and share. And sing and dance and laugh and cook and surf. And love.

With inspiration and warmth,

Ligita
