Why Are Brits So Obsessed with Tea?


More trees ....


Laura's birthday

The tree of Life

God is like a big and leafy tree,
full of sap and life,
which is renewed without end.

God is the tree,
we are its branches and (its) leaves.
If we are torn from the tree
we wither and dry,
but together we bear fruit.

Branches are nothing without the tree
and the tree is nothing without its branches.
Each one can not be who he is without the Other
and both to one,
are a renewed and unfinished life.

The tree's life is very special,
because he is able to do something amazing:
It becomes seed.

The big tree and its leafy branches,
(they) become seed
falling off the branch
and are hidden in the earth

From that seed, it sprouts again
little by little the Other and the same huge tree
and its green branches, which,
greet each other smiling.

Like that, so special and admirable
the tree's life,
at his birth, dying
at and his death, being born.

So, never forget, please, the following:
the branch alone is not a branch
the branch is always a branch of the tree
that in both fruit and seed
it renews without end.

With all my love

Mummy

DECISIONS & INDECISIONS

Every day, since we are conscious we are exposed to thousands of decisions. Decisions that fluctuate from the most trivial to the most fundamental in our lives. This idea is so certain that right now, you can decide if you continue reading this article or not.

In this sense, I think that everyone can differentiate all decisions and indecisions into crucial ones and inessential ones. To ilustrate this idea, we could think that every morning when we are waking up we
have to decide whether to have a cup of coffee or tea for breakfast, whether to get dressed in a formal or informal way, whether to opt to drive or take the bus or underground and something like this.

Of course, this list can be endless and at the same time we could presume that all these decisions are superfluous because we have turned them into something habitual. Consequently, all these decisions have become small decisions that do not affect our ability, and what is more, they do not concern us or occupy an important place in our lives.

Nonetheless, the other side of the coin shows us that many of us have to face multiple and significant decisions, such as the choice of our degree, the university where we will study, the place/ country where we will live, the person with whom we want to share our life, if we want to be parents, among many other things.

It seems that at every stage of our lives the decisions are our travelling companions. Then, at this point, I wonder if there is any way to learn to make decisions. Of course, I am thinking about how to make good or correct decisions. In this sense, I reckon that formal education only teaches us that we will have to face many decisions or we will have to need to make up our own mind, but they will not teach us how to do it effectively. For this reason, many times we are in two minds about an important decision.

Unfortunately or fortunately, we have learnt to make decisions through trial and error pedagogy. Through making the wrong decisions, through many errors, we have learnt to have more flexibility or freedom to choose.

Maybe that's why I now understand much better the saying: ´there's no substitute for experience and so, older but wiser´.

Jet lag

This song, is the perfect summary of what I feel when I miss my family ... I can not get used to the time difference :( ..... However, the positive thing about all this, is that when I go home everything becomes even more special.
