Friends | Friends first. Let's talk with respect. Please not married or engaged men, thanks for understanding. Marlett: Not is easy but... DON'T DIE WITH YOUR DEAD. Do you know that when you cry for your dead, you cry for yourself and not for them? You cry because you "lost them", because you don't have them by your side. You think that everything ends with death. And you think they are NO longer. So if your dead are no longer there, where are they? If they have left, are now in another place? Is that place better than this one? Yes, that place is definitely better than this one; then why do you suffer for them departure? When you have finished accepting that they are "NOT here" anymore, but they are still in another place even better than this, because where they are they are no longer sick or suffering. Then you will stop crying for them and you will recover them in your memory so that they continue to accompany you with the joy of everything you have experienced. Don't die with your dead. Revive them in your heart. If you really loved them, LOVE THEM AGAIN and this time with greater strength, with greater purity. With greater delivery. Well, there will be no reproaches of any kind. Only Love will be the essence between you, between them and us. The essence of unconditional love. Now your love will be pure and without conditions. We no longer love them out of necessity or fear. We respect your pain, and your way of expressing it. We know you cry and you will cry without comfort. But .. Today we tell you: Don't die with your dead. Let them leave, as swallows leave in autumn, to nest in other climates and return more numerous and grown, in another spring. Let them fly to the source of Love that they are eager to share with us. Dry your tears and love them. Remember that we are only seeing one side of the coin (death). We are not seeing the other side. We are not seeing the wonderful place of light where you are. What if we start to see "death" as a Second Birth? Second Birth that we will ALL go through. This birth that unites us, here and beyond. Don't die with your dead, honor them by living your life as they would have wanted you to. From all my heart: Poems of the Soul Rene J. Trossero Marlett: Can Christmas stop a war? On Christmas 1914, while the First World War was going on, soldiers from France and Germany abandoned their rifles and celebrated what we know today as the "Christmas Truce". The Germans shouted "cease fire" and to the rhythm of the Christmas carol 'Silent Night' and 'Merry Christmas', Englands, French and Germans spent the night. Marlett: Let things break, stop trying to keep them together. Let people get mad. Let them criticize you, their reaction is not your problem. Let it all fall apart and don't worry about it later. Where will I go? What I am going to do? What is destined to go will go anyway. What has to stay, will stay. What goes away always leaves the space for something new, that is the universal law. And you never think that there is nothing good for you anymore, you just have to stop containing what you have to let go of.β π¬ Eat Pray Love (2010) Marlett: A poem to Friends I cannot give you solutions to all lifeβs problems, nor do I have answers to your doubts or fears. But I can listen to you and share it with you. I cannot change neither your past nor your future. But when you need me Iβll be by your side. I cannot prevent you from stumbling. I can only offer you my hand to hold on to you so you wonβt fall. Your joys, your victories, your successes are not mine, but I truly enjoy it when I see you happy. I don't judge the decisions you take in life. I constrain myself to support you, to stimulate and to help you if you ask me to. I cannot draw limits for you within which you must act, but I can offer you the space needed to grow. I cannot avert your sufferings when some pain is breaking your heart. But I can cry with you and pick up the pieces to armour it again. I can't tell you who you are, nor who you should be. I can only love you as you are and be your friend. These days, I have been thinking about my friends, amongst whom you appeared. You were neither on top, nor at the bottom, nor in the middle. You were not heading nor concluding the list. You were not the first number, nor the last. And neither do I pretend to be the first, the second, or the third on your list. Itβs enough if you want me as a friend. Thank you for being one of my friends. Jorge Luis Borges Happy Valentine's day everyone! View all 9 posts Marlett: Thanks my dear friends!

Hugs, blessings and stay safe all β€π€ daisiesnfld: Sorry for missing your BD on the appointed day Marlett, but hope you've had a glorious one..with many more to come! Hope to see you in the Vax room eventually! Marlett: People say that age goes away like smoke, escaping through an open window, drawing shapes in the air until little by little it disappears. However, people are not smoke, are not wind, we are breath, we are sighs, we are life lived with purposes to be fulfilled each day. The best age is when we stop counting years to fulfill dreams, and this requires some courage, a drop of daring, and in turn letting go of many fears that have put their armor on us for a long time. The best age is in our hearts. The best age is the one when you feel good about what you are. Turning years is not a tragedy, not is to see one more wrinkle on our face or one more kilo on our hips. The real sadness is that those wrinkles do not tell stories, that those hips have not moved in a thousand worlds ... Do not be afraid of having a birthday. Have fun, whatever it is, always do what you are really passionate about, defines you, helps you and makes your heart laugh. Live taking care not to hurt anyone, and also protecting yourself so that they do not hurt you. Don't give up, never turn your back on a closed door. The trains will continue to pass for all those who dare to try not once, but ten times. Strive to be happy. Sometimes it is enough to prioritize a little more ... We get wiser with setbacks, not with time. So Happy birthday to me! Lol. View all 5 posts daisiesnfld: Such a beautiful post Marlett, and surely one we should abide by.
