Green Renaissance on Odysee

The philosopher, Walter Benjamin said that only when we lose ourselves are we fully present, and to be fully present is to be capable of being, in uncertainty and mystery.

The art of knowing how to get lost involves daring to go beyond the boundaries that contain you and explore the unknown. To escape for a day from the safe path and enter the unforeseen.

And it doesn't mean that you need to wander into a forest on your own, without a map or GPS. There are many simple ways to get lost — reading an engrossing book, engaging in a conversation about a topic you don’t know much about, or just trying a new meal in a restaurant that is outside of your usual.

Feeling lost can be a gift — if you only choose to look at it this way. It’s a state that presents opportunities you can’t see when you live your life according to a predictable schedule. It involves opening yourself up to the uncertain and the new. It stimulates your imagination and gives you new perspectives.

Let's all go out and get more lost.

Do you ever feel like you’re holding on for dear life, only to realise that you’re not really sure of what you were grasping so tightly to in the first place?

Learning to let go is a journey of self-discovery. At first, it's scary to lose something dear, as if a part of you is slipping away. But as you embrace the release, you find freedom and a sense of bravery too. It's about accepting life's changes and challenges, knowing that what stays will find a way, and what comes will paint new colours in your life.

Once you master letting go, you'll feel lighter, allowing space for acceptance, balance, and peace.

When we talk about gestures of love, the most common ones we think of are hugs, kisses, or simply the words, “I love you”. But not everyone expresses love in the same way. And often, cooking a good meal for someone is an important gesture of love.

We cook with our hearts as much as with our hands, because when we cook for other people, it's to make them happy and content. And possibly the greatest payment that you could receive for your efforts is seeing the people at the table, enjoying what you’ve prepared for them.

So the next time you sit at the table, be thankful not only for all that has been prepared for you with time and care, but also for that person who loves you, who thought about you with every stir of the spoon, with every dash of salt, with every teaspoon of oil. We should take a moment to appreciate all that they've done for us. They deserve it. And gratitude is a form of love too!

Simplicity is purity. It is facing the true nature of things and embracing it, instead of filling a hole inside you with chaotic activity or an overabundance of stuff.

Simple, straightforward, meaningful - these words describe freedom, not limitation - intensity, not distraction - a life fully lived, not a life of lack. A simple life is a deep life.
