Daily Soul-Candy

I’m not really good at cooking. Actually everybody benefits from it if I keep considerable distance from the kitchen. However, there are exceptional events when I venture closer to the cooker. When I buy all the ingredients my husband agrees to prepare together paella at the weekend. He, as a fan of Spanish culture, turns toward culinary arts with such precision and expertise which is unknown for me.

I had barely skimmed the first few lines, yet that was enough to know: it was perfect. A true masterpiece. Excellence among the excellent. Every word reached the deepest layers of my soul. I was touched by its purity, its delicacy, the noblest simpli...

Beauty is life

I believe that life, by giving us free will, expects us to create beauty on this planet. Joyful things that are pleasing to the eye, that bring a smile to our faces, that awaken in us the sense of delight in life—the very feeling with which life (energy) created us. It urges us to realize things that require time, energy, and attention to bring into existence, accompanied by the intention to make the world a better place. It expects from us the ecstasy of beauty, from which every human being was breathed into the world. It asks us to remember! To remember who we are and why we are here! To find the courageous self that resides within us and to receive with an open heart the opportunities life places in our path. To grasp our individual truths, take our destiny into our own hands, and be conscious creators of our lives, our art, our thoughts, and our spiritual journey. To see both our outer and inner beauty, and to accept who we are! “All these things have you said of beauty. Yet...
