Beautiful post and beautiful photos truly. But I paused at the moment you mentioned Gabor Maté, I must admit.
Just 10 minutes ago, we were talking at home about Gaza, about what’s happening right now, the pain and the silence surrounding it.
I know that, according to netiquette, one shouldn’t make political or religious comments on personal posts, and maybe this is one, but when you mentioned Maté, it really struck a chord.
His voice, his way of speaking about trauma and humanity is more necessary than ever right now.

Thank you a lot, for kind words, finally I had some time to pit more effort into my post.
I'm ok with bringing up this topic here, and I couldn't agree more about Gabor Mate, he is one of the most sober voices out there. And I mean free from propaganda, unprocessed emotions or ideologies. These voice might be quiet, but I would have cognitive dissonance hearing him shouting. You know what I mean?
From the other hand we collectively lost ability to speak loudly when it's needed. It's like hyperinflation of meaning. We shouted so much about lesser things, and now we have no more voice when it's really needed.
I feel so helpless and lost in this matter. And I'm sad to admit it, but I can observe in myself mechanisms of growing hatred. I lack any actual life context to act upon it and I refuse to form any actual worldview here, but feeling is there. It's getting hard to embrace ot with compassion. Sorry if that's to much here.
I read your words and they reach me unfiltered.
That struggle to stay clear, the noise drowning out the real voices, the anger growing with nowhere to go. I’ve been in those spaces too.
I know how hard it is to hold those feelings without being consumed by them.
But the fact that you can see and most of all name them without letting them define you, that is compassion.
Thank you for writing this without a mask. It’s not too much, it’s human. And sometime necessary.
Much love 🌷
