The ripples in Tunis, Egypt, Jordan, Yemen and ..............

Today I wonder how many women, wherever they are on this world, have any idea of their importance.
Do women understand really how crucial they are regarding human life?
Let's start with the ability their body is giving them.
In their bodies new life developes.
Through them and with help of their bodies new generations of man and woman can put their mark on the place we call home; onto our world.
And this is only the start of human life.
During the time in the womb the first influence for any baby is the mother.
Her thoughts, her emotions, her behaviour, her food and liquid intake influence her child.
Her joy, confidence and stability or the opposite her sadness, fear or doubt; her influences are the child's first connection with the world outside of the womb.
And that's only the beginning :-)

spiritual sight

Recently I saw a tv program about a place called Nagri in Western Tibet  where four rivers have  their origin. It is  a region which remained unknown to the western world until the 18th century.  There the mountain Kailash rises.  In 1907 it was discovered and believed that this region was the source of four rivers the Indus, the Sultej, the Brahmaputra and the Karnali.  The mountain is said to be located on the mystic  axis of the earth and on it live the different gods of different religious traditions.

The legend goes that only the ones with spiritual wisdom could see the waters;  for others it remained hidden.

This reminds me of our own sight, our vision of what we believe of ourselves . 

When does  one develop enough spiritual wisdom to see water?  Let alone to see the  ‘river’?

Where to start? Where to go? How to look?  What does it take?

For me it starts at the moment one dares to let go of believes.

The moment one dares to open up for the unproved and unseen. 

The moment too when one dares to let go of fear.  Fear  to stay in tune with the culture one grew up in and to let go of hearsay. 

It starts the moment when one dares to question impressions and theories of others. The moment one is willing to discover one’s own truth.

It needs the moment when one decides to look at reality like a child does.

It is the moment when one  looks  anew and with wonder .

It needs the willingness to look out and  within.

It is the moment one decides  to follow a new road. A road where the end is unknown  as written in one of my favorite songs

“The road ahead is empty”

It's paved
With miles of the unknown
Whatever seems to be your destination
Take life the way it comes
Take life the way it is
Horizon in the distance
So close and yet so far away
You shouldn't be surprised
When on arrival
The dream has flown away
Or fears not have to stay
……………………………..

Water

While reading a wallpost of dr. Parviz Rashvand on Facebook regarding the importance of clean water, I wondered how many people realise the effect water has on us. Water is the basis of our human life!Our muscles that move our body are 75% water; blood that transport nutrients is 82% water; lungs providing oxygen are 90% water; our brain that is the control center of our body is 76% water; even our bones are 25% water.
Clearly water is important for me as well is it's quality. Not only the water I drink but the water I make use of too.
In case you you are interested to form your own opinion regarding water have a look in the books of dr. Masaru Emoto and dr. F. Batmanghelidj.
