Lake

 "No, I didn't need to search love from anyone" said the lake and it reflected all the trees on it's surface. I put my hand into the cold water of the lake and asked it: "why do I feel this sadness, I want life to be different, from what it is" 

The lake smiled at me, autumn dry leaves were falling into the water and flowing on it. 

"Life is like a glass of water, that you have to drink, no matter how it tastes" said the lake. But you can choose to resist the taste or you can find something new in that experience of drinking it" the water kept talking to me. I looked at my own face reflected on the surface as if it was a screen of a phone. 

"Loving someone feels bad, I feel so vulnerable, and so easy to be hurt" I told the lake, sitting on a stone next to it. 

"I know you feel hurt my child. But you know you have to keep your heart open. Your heart feels everything once it is open. But dont only think about yourself. See what you can see when your heart is open" 

I looked at the sky and the clouds were slowly flowing on the blue background. A plane passing by, a pigeon sitting next to the little fountain in the park. I suddenly felt a little bit better, I forgot why was I so upset. 

The lake heard my thoughts and waved at me with waves on its surface. 

Don't compare your life to anything else. Dont compare your life to some imagination. You are here now and comparing it to anything you could have elsewhere in a different way in a different time takes all the gratitude from you.... 

The lake kept talking but I felt it's not meant to be thought about anymore. I just let my trust flow into the lake and the sky. I didn't make a cross before praying or any other sign, I just sat there and asked for help the higher beings. It didn't take long and I felt their help in all my limbs, I feel them caring for me and leading me through my life....
