Let go

I overthought and felt heavy... and then I saw a picture of two men in the Facebook group ZEN, one of them with a cloud over his head with a ribbon, like a balloon, with the text "Let go".

Such good advice.

Lase minna

Suutsin oma peas ühe korraliku pusa tekitada ja üle mõelda… ja siis nägin Fecebookis ZEN grupis pilti kahest mehest, ühel pilv paelaga pea kohal nagu õhupall, juures tekst “Lase minna” (“Let go”).

Nii õige.

Magical garden

I was picking up debris from my garden under vines next to a freshly built terrace, and then I found a large metal hoop. I had just thought a few days ago that I should find something like this somewhere to create a dream catcher - another nice "Ask and you shall be given!" story! Especially since the shops were closed due to the pandemic.

Of course, I thought further - what if I had such a magical garden that whatever I wished for, it would immediately materialize there? What would I like?

Maagiline aed

Korjasin Võrus oma aiast värskelt valminud terrassi kõrvalt viinapuuheki alt prahti ning leidsin siis suure metallist võru. Olin just paar päeva tagasi mõelnud, et peaksin kuskilt leidma midagi sellist, et sõlmida üks unenäopüüdja - järjekordne tore “Küsi ja Sulle antakse!” lugu! Seda toredam, et poed olid pandeemia tõttu parasjagu kinni.

Muidugi mõtlesin edasi - mis oleks, kui mul olekski selline maagiline aed, et mida tahes ma soovin, see kohe materialiseerub sinna? Mida ma sooviksin?

Dip

In the last days of March, I walked with my dog ​​by the lake and watched with great satisfaction how some of the ice had already melted. There was chocolate paper on the ground, I picked it up (I do so often because this is our planet and our living environment and everyone wins if it is cleaner and more beautiful). The paper was torn in such a way that the word “dip” was staring at me. I hadn't joined the winter bathing craze that raged on social media this winter, but now it was spring and I felt that I might really dip soon.

Sulps

Jalutasin märtsi viimastel päevadel koeraga järve ääres ning vaatasin suure rahuloluga, kuidas jää on sulades juba kaldast jupp maad eemale taandunud. Maas vedeles šokolaadipaber, korjasin selle üles (teen nii sageli, sest see on meie kõigi planeet ja elukeskkond ning kõik võidavad, kui see on puhtam ja ilusam). Paber oli rebenenud nii, et mulle vaatas vastu ingliskeelsena sõna “sulps” (“dip”). Ma ei olnud kaasa läinud talisuplemishullusega, mis sel talvel sotsiaalmeedias möllas, aga nüüd oli ju kevad ning tundsin, et varsti võiks küll. Kohe siiski vette ei lipanud.

In another life

I saw a text from @jmstormquotes that made me think of people with whom I have felt very clearly that they are so special that this is definitely not the first life we ​​are together: “And maybe I loved you in another life and I promised you that I would find you, somewhere on the other side. Or maybe you've always been in my subconscious. Nudging me this way and pulling me that until I found you. I don’t know but I do know I’ve felt you more than one life should allow.”

Pure gratitude.

*****

Teises elus

Nägin @jmstormquotes teksti, mis pani mind mõtlema inimestele, kelle puhul ma olen väga selgelt tundnud, et nad on nii omad, et see pole kindlasti esimene elu, kus koos oleme: “Ja võib-olla ma armastasin Sind ühes teises elus ja lubasin Sulle, et ma leian Su üles, kuskil seal teisel pool. Või siis Sa oled alati olnud mu alateadvuses. Nügides mind selles suunas ja tõmmates, kuni ma leidsin Su jälle. Ma ei tea, aga ma tean, et ma olen Sind tundnud rohkem, kui üks elu lubab.”

Puhas tänutunne.

Master

I was at home one Wednesday evening when the package I ordered from IKEA arrived. They had put my things in a big box with the big text "The Master" on it. This was quite an amusing sign for me, as the word means both master (and to me it means someone who has honed the art of living to mastery) and master’s degree. I was halfway through my doctoral studies in literature and found myself thinking that I might leave it because I did't really need to have doctor’s degree, the existing master’s was enough. And then a shipment with such a message? SO nice, I was obviously on the right track with my thoughts. :)

Meister/magister

Olin ühel kolmapäevaõhtul kodus, kui saabus IKEAst tellitud pakk. Nad olid mu asjad pannud suurde kasti, millel ilutses suur tekst “The Master”. See oli minu jaoks päris lõbustav märk, sest see sõna tähendab nii meistrit (ja see tähendab minu jaoks inimest, kes on elamise kunsti meisterlikkuseni lihvinud) kui ka magistrit. Mina aga olin poole peal kirjanduse doktorantuuriga ning leidnud end mõtlemast, et jätta ehk pooleli, sest mul pole seda doktorikraadi tegelikult vaja, piisab olemasolevast magistrist. Ja siis sellise sõnumiga saadetis? NIi tore, olin ilmselgelt oma mõtetega õigel teel. :)

All the love

It was a beautiful sunny spring day, the last day (before next lockdown) when cafes and shopping centers were open. I went to buy wine glasses and then had a coffee in a cafe that was new to me. When I got out of there to walk home, a song came out loud from the speakers with the words: "I'm gonna give you all my love…”

I have the impression that if you shower yourself with nice experiences, that's exactly how the soul feels.

*****

Kogu armastus

Oli imeilus päikeseline kevadtalvine päev, viimane avatud kohvikute ja kaubanduskeskustega enne järjekordseid piiranguid. Käisin koju veiniklaase ostmas ning siis ühes enda jaoks uues kohvikus kohvil. Sealt väljudes, et koju jalutada, tuli kõlaritest valjult laulurida: “Ma annan Sulle kogu oma armastuse…” 

Mulle on jäänud mulje, et kui end toredate elamustega poputada, siis täpselt nii hing tänutäheks tunneb jah.

Make the most of the moment

Small pleasures and rituals add a lot of color to life. One of those that I really love is a delicious frothy café latte in a nice coffee shop. After being forced to stay at home during pandemic, I galloped enthusiastically to the cafe for coffee and cake… stopping only to take a picture and laugh at the big Paulig ad on the side of the road that said: “The right attitude and a decent coffee will go a long way. Make the most of the moment.”

Võta hetkest parim

Väikesed naudingud ja rituaalid lisavad elule palju värvi. Üks selliseid, mida ma väga armastan, on üks hõrk piimavahune café latte kena kohvikus. Pärast pandeemia-aegset sunnitud kodus olemist kappasin suure entusiasmiga kohviku poole, et kohvi ja kooki nautida… peatudes vaid selleks, et pildistada ja naerda suurelt tee äärde sätitud Pauligi reklaami, mis ütles: “Õige suhtumise ja väärt kohviga jõuab kaugele. Võta hetkest parim.”

Fireworks

I came to capital and arrived home quite tired. And then the fireworks started in the distance outside the window... I have always interpreted fireworks as victory, recognition, a pat on the back from the universe, so I looked at it with joy like a little child.

*****

Ilutulestik

Tulin Võrust Tallinna, sealsesse koju jõudsin üsna väsinuna. Ja siis hakkas akna taga eemal ilutulestik… Ma olen ilutulestikku alati võidu, tunnustuse, universumi õlalepatsutusena tõlgendanud, nii et vaatasin seda rõõmustades nagu väike laps.

LITERATURE ONLY

I was flying back from a nice vacation. Before that, I had just realized that I didn't want to go back to school, although a course was ...
