There's 10 volunteers in our house, 6 girls and 4 boys. Today, for personal development exercise. we imagined that we are 7-year old girls and boys. We were given toys and had 1 hour to have fun. Girls were playing with jump rope, some of us were playing with puzzle, I was drawing kittens and sunshine. We also played with a ball and with magnets.
GROUP ACTIVITIES
I FOUND ANOTHER CARD WITH A MESSAGE
Do you remember when I posted about playing card I found outside?
It's getting weirder. Today I found a Pokemon card.
The text on the card says :
I danni questo attacco non sono influenzati dalla resistenza.
English version would be something like "This attack's damage isn't affected by stamina."
I don't know how to interpret that one!
I already consulted "experts", since this is from 2020, it's not really worth money.
ANOTHER UNIVERSE POST
Today Universe said to me:
Do you know what you've been doing lately in your nightly dreams, Kristi?
No, no. Not the "naked hula hoop" dreams—are you kidding?! I'd never put those in print!
You've been reaching, helping, and bridging; teaching, guiding, and comforting; lighting, showing, and paving; reaching thousands upon thousands when you count the infinite ripple thing.
Yep, you're beginning to have the same profound effect here as you've been having on Earth.
Thanks,
The Universe
I don't know why I find these messages so on point. They actually answer the questions I have in my mind.
Like the other day I was talking to my friend about getting old. I met two local boys, I mean kids. They were asking how old I am, and when I told them my age, their next question was if I have kids. No, I don't, for them it seemed surprising, because woman at my age can easily be mothers.
Yes, I am afraid of getting old. I have seen old people who are to weak to even stand up. Today's medicine keeps alive people who can't breathe without the machine and who would like to be dead already.
Yes, I am afraid of getting old. I have seen old people who are to weak to even stand up. Today's medicine keeps alive people who can't breathe without the machine and who would like to be dead already.
So I had these thoughts and I was even saying them out loud. At that very moment I got this message from Universe:
Each blossom still blooms in its field; each child still clutches your hand; each friend still lingers in your heart.
And that, dear Kristi, is where time goes.
Forever young,
The Universe
How uplifting is that.
Today I was trying to play movie director, I trimmed and merged and added sounds to my clip. I used different free programs for that and they are not that good. I still didn't finish the final clip (otherwise I would already upload it here). I went to the kitchen and my project partner was making crepes and singing along with music and asked: "Hey, by the way, my computer is so slow, can we use yours for our project's video editing?" It seems that one of the volunteer's here has Adobe Premiere (paid version) and doesn't really use it herself, so we can use her account.
Again, Universe was just taking two things and putting them together so the world would be a better place. The Universe is always saying that people should just ask what they need and not worry about how it get's done, it's the Universe's job. It works, I have experienced this tons of times. Thanks a lot!
MAGIC GARDEN
Today I was invited to see the a garden in mountains. It seems very abandoned, nobody lives in this house. Behind this house there's also a barn and more orange, lemon and olive trees. It's far from city and you can't see too many cars on the way to this garden.
I was just eating these very juicy oranges when I saw a herd of sheep and goats coming. They didn't seem to be afraid of people.
Italian sheep are bleating, they say "beeee". Estonian sheep say: "mää"
We ate as much oranges as wanted and took as much oranges with us as we wanted. Fresh orange juice in the morning is one of the best things in the world.
TRASH-POST
It's well-known topic that Italy has problems with plastic waste and trash laying around everywhere.
Wikipedia: In May 2008, the newly elected prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, decreed that protests in the vicinity of landfills, incinerators or any plant related to waste management, is a penal felony.
It's very hard to change something about this thing.
Just cleaning it up is a waste of time (pun intended, haha), because the trash will be back soon. Changing everybody's thinking about world pollution? Impossible.
I saw these signs at some places.
Why do you have to label green areas? Can't just people see that this is nature?
Me and one other volunteer came up with the theory that people don't care about nature, all they care about is money. So I made this sign:
Probably it won't change anything, but it's worth a try.
This is our collection of empty water bottles. People drink bottled water, because the water that comes from tap, is not so good. This means we produce even more waste, just by taking care of our basic needs.
Sicily doesn't have these reverse vending machines where you can take your empty bottles and cans. My home country has this system, if you put your empty bottles in the machine, you can get money back or donate it. It's about 10 euro cents per bottle. Some people collect empty bottles from the streets and that way they can have extra income. It's not perfect system, they don't accept vodka, wine, champagne bottles, glass jars, tin cans and bottles from other countries or bottles without label/non-readable label.
EVERYDAY LIFE
One of our volunteer's boots. I like how she used them until they were really done. So eco! Don't throw anything away before it's completely useless.
