Magdalena for you:)

Jo napot dear people:)

Wooooow, it is really a big luxury to have Internet today. The day we are invited to sleep in the GymRoom of a three star hotel in little town „Tolna“ in Southhungary:) just  a few kilometers away from the Donau, that we will cross tomorrow.

In the first moments when I start to write here, I always feel a bit overwhelmed from all that what happend to us in the last days and weeks.

For the beginning I have one wonderful happening that really moved me. Just a few days before we had lunch break in a natural reservat and their  it happend the first time in my life that a butterfly came to sit on my hand, and than on my leg and on my shoulder and than a second one joined, wooooow, how very nice. There wer a lot of them, just flying around all of us. Bringing lightness and joy just  in the perfect moment. It felt like an amazing connection to nature for me. The next day it happend again, so they are with us, supporting us to:)

By now it is already more than seven weeks that I am on this journey, without any doubt it is the good way for me:) To have this knowledge I can fully concentrate to everything that is coming up in our daily-pilgrims-life. Everything, beautyful things, the funny things, the sad things, the annoying things, the uncomfortable ones, the good ones…the full variety of life.

Since we had our silent Retreat at the Balaton things seem to flow, so we never have to worry about our places to stay, it seems people are becoming more and more open and helpful, generous and welcoming. Everyday is a surprise, something completly new, impossible to imagine what awaits us. Even there often exists a language barrier we do not have real problems and we got a lot of support from people because they just started to organize something for us, even when they could not host us themselves…like the whole village became involved:)

The people are as different as the places where we stay. Some of them are really interessted and open minded to what we are doing, with others we do not talk directly about the peace topic – so I just try to show them how much I appreciate their help by being grateful, others are questioning the project what is very enriching too, because it gives me the opportunity to have a deep look about what my intention is on this way.  To find the balance working on my inner peace, to figure out how I can live it out and how I can really give it to people…is it just going hand in hand – it feels like it:)

So, for the end I have some thoughts that came the last days while working. They started with

„I walk for…“

…walking, pure pleasure of walking

…seeing and appreciating the wonderful nature, the colours and semlls

…for the butterflies:)

…realizing and understanding that true and lasting happiness can just come out of myself, it is not denpending on  others

…feeling group spirit and what it creates and moves without words

That is it for today:)

I hope you are all very well. I send you nap, beke, mosoly from Hungay in summertime:)
