divorce brutality & healing | Central Park, Walking in the Ramble

Walking has become a metaphor for my life these days —besides providing healing while I am trying to keep my sanity struggling with the divorce brutality. 

During my morning walk in Central Park I kept getting lost in familiar grounds, the Ramble, where I have been walking probably almost hundreds time, in any season.
But I have finally, found sunlight to orient and guide me in the darkness. Quite a metaphor...

camminando | Let It Be...

Probably almost almost all of us have experienced a few moments of connections between ourselves and the outside world, where there may be outside signs relating to our inner life. I began the week with such a perception, generating a calming and reassuring experience, while taking healing walks through Central Park. While I was exiting the park on the way back to the Upper West Side, I noticed a street performer playing "Let It Be" in Strawberry Field, right by the "Imagine" mosaic paving circle. Hearing a Beatles song played in the famous memorial to John Lennon was nothing unusual, yet I  interpreted it almost as sign from the universe, a comment/suggestion to my currently troubled (by others) existence: "let it be..."

emotional survival practices | First Sunrise

On Sunday October 19 I experienced an extremely painful emotional situation. After an almost sleepless I tried to get up and encounter the sun rising behind the Upper East Side buildings from one of my favorite places in Central Park: the reservoir. The meditative focus on the sun water reflection had an healing effect, bringing some solace in this emotional rollercoaster.
