Love and sadness

Just back from a week of chilling at the sun and swimming and reading and eating. Had a fabulous time, and i’m craving for more of it. More nature, more quiet time out of the city, more time enjoying simplicity.

Just before leaving, dad called to say he’s got exams at the hospital, and came back with bad news.

My heart is broken since. I’m hanging between darkness and the beauty that lies in hard moments: darkness as in moments where you just want to throw everything out at the window, and light as when you are grateful for a new connexion with the ones you love, a new level of sharing of who we really are and how we really feel.

Some day you wake up and realize there is just no time and space left for hiding.

Some news makes your heart so big, it’s hard to handle all the love and sadness all at once.

Forgetting about money

In Utah, a modern-day caveman has lived for the better part of a decade on zero dollars a day. People used to think he was crazy.

“When I lived with money, I was always lacking,” he writes. “Money represents lack. Money represents things in the past (debt) and things in the future (credit), but money never represents what is present.”

(…)

After several years as an assistant lab technician in Colorado hospitals, he joined the Peace Corps and was posted to an Ecuadoran village high in the Andes. He was charged with monitoring the health of tribespeople in the area, teaching first aid and nutrition, and handing out medicine where needed; his proudest achievement was delivering three babies. The tribe had been getting richer for a decade, and during the two years he was there he watched as the villagers began to adopt the economics of modernity. They sold the food from their fields—quinoa, potatoes, corn, lentils—for cash, which they used to purchase things they didn’t need, as Suelo describes it. They bought soda and white flour and refined sugar and noodles and big bags of MSG to flavor the starchy meals. They bought TVs. The more they spent, says Suelo, the more their health declined. He could measure the deterioration on his charts. “It looked,” he says, “like money was impoverishing them.”

Happy for summer to finally be here, i missed the warm sun and green vegetation so much, it feels like color has been missing from my life for the last couple of months.

Things i’ve once lost are now about to be held in my hands again, i’m sure it will feel good.
