I would like to tell you that you are magnificent
Some days just need ease. Like today. It’s an overcast and gray day, and at 3 pm it is already getting darker outside. I’m sitting a my local bakery with a coffee and a piece of bread with brown cheese (sweet goats cheese, it’s a Norwegian speciality). People around me are chatting lively, today is Friday and people go home from work early. I woke up feeling really heavy today, so I’m taking the day off – no work, no studying, no doing things that just needs to be done. Today requires ease. So I’m taking a deep breath. I’m not writing any huge and epic posts today. Instead, I’m listening for what needs to be said.
I would like to tell you that you are a magnificent and radiant being.
