Sky

Sky

 

Sky. Wind. Sun. Night. Stars.

 

Every day above earth is a good day. (Ernest Hemmingway)

 

The sky is the daily bread of the eyes.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

 

The easiest way of meditation is just to look up into the endless sky and feel so small. You can look into a blue sky, or you can see some clouds or even a grey sky, knowing that the sun is just about to fight her way back, or enjoy the fresh rain on your face, or look up into the night and watch up to a million stars wondering about all the universe. There is always something.

 

If you're depressed or worried, remember:

 

“You are the sky. Everything else is just the weather.” – Pema Chodron

 

And weather comes and goes like thoughts and worries in your mind- Let them come, be and go!

 

I just learned a little bit of paragliding a few weeks ago. It was my first time in the air and I flew only a bit but it's an amazing feeling. Maybe like diving, maybe totally different. All I can say, it's freedom in every direction and at the same time you're totally surrendered - It's just wonderful. Like being a bird, feeling the wind. Reading the wind on your skin and in every single tree, or every single small grass straw. Observing the birds flying and knowing that we just copy them in a very simple form. For me as a raft guy, reading the wind is still a little bit like reading a riverstream, sometimes really easy and logical and on the other hand still complex and still surprising me sometimes when I think I know it, better than any book we can write. A book written by nature, written every single day new and free to read and to teach us a lesson in life.

 

Feel the wind, the rain, the sun, the cold air!

 

See the rainbows, lightning, thunderstorms.

 

Hear the wind, the birds, and whatever else will come.

 

Smell whatever the wind brings to you!

 

Remember the last time you've seen a sunset at the sea, when the sun comes down to kiss the ocean and finally sink completely in it but it keeps still light for a bit longer.

 

Remember the last time you've seen a sunrise from a mountain top, you've climbed in the dark just to say hello to the next day. The sun comes slowly, shy over the ridge just to rise higher and higher till the day is there!

 

“Only from the heart can you touch the sky.” – Rumi

 

“Imagine there’s no heaven, it’s easy if you try. No hell below us, above us only sky. Imagine all the people living for today.” – John Lennon
