About Two Little Ducks

Greetings, breathing hitchhikers!

Being alive is no simple task at all. I can definitely confirm that thinking has its upsides, but thinking too much is among the outcomes that may end up harming you.

There was a time when I believed that it was possible to outthink any problem, if I had enough time. It's funny to reflect about that now, since I now know that sometimes the solution to a problem is not doing anything.

Patience. That's probably one of the things that my focus has been directed to recently. Time is one powerful tool for change; we just have to give it the opportunity to.

I've stated previously that I've been trying to meditate again. I'm still striving for 7 minutes per session, but I have to admit that it's not been easy. It seems odd to state that the increase of one additional minute from the previous 6 minutes could have such a meaningful effect, but that's how it happened. But who knows, maybe some years from now I get to half an hour per, and the 7 minutes will just be another memory.

Memories. These also cause my head to enter the "Think Thinkerson" mode, as my dear partner would say. However, I believe that we can once more use the patience here to our advantage. We've got to try and settle within our minds that what's done, is done. We can learn from the past, but we cannot let it get in the way of experiencing the present.

There's a tradition in the Brazilian culture that relates the number 22 with "Two Ducks in the Pond", probably because the number 2 seems like a bird if you try enough.

Me and my partner celebrated 2 years and 2 months together, therefore also a type of two ducks in a pond. Sometimes I like to think that me and her are like two little ducks swimming through the pond of Existence... And how lucky are we to be swimming together?

Te amo, bebézita 💙
