Gentleness - The Key That Opens Many (All) Doors
Important encounters are planned by the souls long before the bodies see each other.

This is true for both going deeper inside our soul, and in connection with other beings. Most of us will have come across this key and used it occasionally – but within it is the unmistakable path to the more fulfilling life. And that is something we would all welcome for ourselves, and others alike.
Having had children, and lived a life of 48 years – I would absolutely argue that our very nature is gentle, peaceful, compassionate and considerate. Conditioning causes us to forget our noble nature and grow up to resemble only some degree of the finest personal qualities we were born to embody. True, this can still be our choice and the quicker we bring our awareness to it, the quicker and fuller the recovery – and with it all the results and benefits of living such life of the highest standard. Only this time our conscious choosing reinforces that which is natural inside us.
In our previous over 140 blog posts, we have been dealing with fundamentals of happiness and setting our life for a win in every area of our existence, but from here on in we are going to delve deeper into subtleties and finesse which breathe quality, ease and flow. I don’t wish you to be just happy – I want you to feel the thrill of being alive – in every single moment of your life, for the rest of your days, my friend. Sounds good, doesn’t it? Well, if you like it, stick around. I am not going anywhere, and every insight I lived to learn – I will share with you so that you can feel empowered in your own life.
In simplest terms, being gentle means letting the love inside you guide you in navigating your own life, in understanding true depths of your soul and following its sophisticated lead, as well as being gentle in all your points of contact with another soul.
In more elaborate terms, being gentle means bringing mindfulness to everything you think, say and do – irrelevant whether you speak with your own soul or another. That, my friend, is the finest art there is. But I wouldn’t be writing this if I didn’t know the rich blessings of love inside us. Their roots connect us with the source of life.
Take this key, and make sure you don’t lose it on our journey forward.
For the Safest Keeping
If you unlock the door of kindness inside your heart and hold sacred everything that is coming in and out – your key will forever be safe in this place.

(*this is only significant to me, as it is the second post written on Orthodox Easter – The first one is called Life in Art and Driftwood – written and published on Orthodox Easter 2013 – and it is the most read blog post on Pure d’esprit to date. If you have missed it – you can read it here, my friend)

Didn’t I tell you yesterday that on Easter Day all will be fine? It’s always like that, and today is no different. I am so happy that I feel completely recovered – I can’t even find adequate words. Even though our health is appreciated in most part, some of it is still taken for granted. Perhaps it has to be like that so that we can fully realise how much it means to be pain-free and able to carry on doing everything we set our mind to do. My thoughts will go to those who live with pain on a daily basis – you really are heroes, and there is no way that can be fully understood by those of us lucky to feel well and likely to still take it for granted.
It was interesting discussing the furniture makeover plans with the family today and it is always amusing to me that they are a little reserved (not quite sceptical), as they can’t fully visualise what I can see in mind’s eye. Still, they never fail to support my plans and ideas. Hopefully, when the weather gets a little bit better, I can start bringing the bulky furniture outside for a remake, redesign workshop.

Today I am feeling truly blessed to have had a whole day of bliss inside the family bubble – for the time to catch up with many great friends and extended family and to hear that everyone is doing well. It was good to laugh and share what has been happening in the last four weeks with everyone.
I am also eager and looking forward to resuming activities like painting and website design in the new week.

Hoping to be able to dedicate more time to the 365 Days to Dream project in practical terms. Before I start with the above-mentioned furniture makeover, I still have one huge area to tackle, the only one that didn’t get a deep spring clean – only the surface, because of so many things inside. Yes, it’s the bedroom come furniture storage (and just general storage) – as well as all four cupboards. The only good thing about it is that everything is boxed and organised, but there is the task of going through so many boxes to categorise, reduce and catalogue. I will, of course, keep you posted.
As promised, my friend – the brand new episode called 'Start over - Rise to the top - Repeat' on This is Your Moment podcast is now live and you can go listen to it on iTunes or PodBean – its native host. My guest is Marcél Butnaru, and I am sure you will enjoy his story of positive reframing and willingness to start over again and again – every time life delivered something challenging. His ability to bounce back is remarkable and inspirational, I do know you will get value from hearing his sincere account of his life. Enjoy it!
Remember – You Are Safe Here
