Intensity Kicks In

 Ola!

Well, it’s been a while since I sat down and contemplated things on the computer screen. During these past months I am not using the internet that much hence why I appear here rarely.

My New Year have started with a boom. Or an explosion of feelings.

On the last day of 2020 I have found myself in a party, full of travellers and high spirits. It was an incredible feeling to be celebrating after a such long hibernation mood. It was so inspiring to see people still living their truths no matter what is happening around. I felt so high on life, so happy. I love spontaneous celebrations and this feeling of meeting new people, of hearing new stories is one of the reason why after 11 years of travelling I am still on the road.

And for the next 2 weeks I found myself ‘locked in’ at the amazing hostel, a converted old villa right at the beach with a beautiful sea view. The weather spoiled us all. January has always been a problematic one for me, but this time I was one of the happiest.

I finally started to practise long wanted open relationship with few partners and explored my insecurities, jealousies and wilderness.

With new friends, lots of fun and Julien’s accident in the sea I made a new plan and left Greece.

It felt emotional, in the end I stayed around 7 months in that land of Gods, I connected a lot with this beautiful chaotic land.

For the past 3-4 weeks I have been in Portugal. And if I thought that my first 2 weeks in January have been intense, well, I had to change my opinion again. I started to dig deeper into Tantra and explore what does it mean the love with no attachment (a difficult one!). Thing after a thing and I found myself drinking the plant medicine in one of the ceremonies around here. And that was intense, beautiful, deep and actually quite blissful. Many insights that were inside me anyway, were assured to me. I felt an incredible connection and gratitude, towards everyone and everything.

And then some bad news, a death of my father. That one kicked my ass. It shook everything what was inside me and made me lose some of my painted identities. I revisited my childhood lots of times. I prayed for my dad’s soul, to be liberated and free. I prayed for the ones, that are still here in their bodies, for their suffering and loneliness. I cried for myself too, I let that little girl inside me to be held and rocked all night long. I expressed myself in writing and had long deep conversations with Julien.

And then, after 3 weeks of clouds and rain, the sun have arrived. The beautiful blue sky and ocean, caressing my soul washed a lot of things away. I felt so good. But the intensity is still here. And in these past 2 months I have grown a lot.

And please, don’t take this post as a sorry call. It’s just much more personal update than normally. I am very fine. And I understand that everything in life is ups and downs, rest and celebration, happiness and sadness, light and darkness. And for the end, I would like to share something I read today by Mooji:

‘’Life doesn’t owe you anything. If you take this attitude then you are grateful for everything. What have you done to deserve 30 years of fresh oxygen? What has anyone done to have a heart that is beating even while one is asleep? What have you done to deserve anything at all and who are you even? If you contemplate these things deeply you would not be arrogant and you would not suffer. You would value life in all its expressions.’’

 

With much love,

Stay strong my friends <3

Life Lessons and New Venture



Hello my dearly friends,

Time is flying since I finished my high school and here in Spain it flies even faster.

This Thursday is the day when I am leaving the Donkey Paradise and heading all way to Catalonia for my next project.

This place was special, it really left a footprint in my heart.

I learnt and experienced so many things. I learnt that helping to the one which needs help may change this world into a better place for everybody. Every morning, we have to lift up three or two donkeys and support them during whole day. Sometimes, the donkey may fall down and just stay lying while one of us would notice and come to help. I will never forget a day when Marleen and Steve were somewhere away and I had to take care of the donkeys. I was just walking around, everybody seemed happy and satisfied when I saw Norbert lying down on the grass. Straight away I went and tried to lift him up but I was too weak to do it on my own. He was looking with such sad eyes, trying all his best but I couldn’t make it. I tried few times but I still couldn’t make it.
Then Marleen and Steve came back and Norbert was happily chewing some wet grass and walking again like nothing happened.
At that time all alone I couldn’t help him but three of us could do it.

I learnt that animal is able to love and forgive. Forget about the wounds made by cruel people in the past.
My first day one of the dogs Lady was so scared of me that she couldn’t let me even to stroke her. I must admit she was very curious but very afraid because probably people in the past were beating her up. It took me 3 or maybe 4 days when I could touch her and now she gives all her love to me because she learnt how to trust again.

I learnt that life in every step is accompanied with death. One moment I was feeding donkey Katrina and letting her sniffing my hand and another moment she was lying down with cold eyes, dead body and flying soul somewhere far far away.

Donkey Paradise lets me believe that old and unwanted donkeys can be loved again. That old and ill can be treated well. I admire Marleen for her courage to fight against cruel people and rescue these beautiful animals who really are like one of us. Would you let somebody suffer when you now you can help them?

And now I am back on the road. In front of me is 5 days hitch-hiking venture. Wish me strong back, good shoes and good people on my way.

I miss you,

Ligita
