Estoy aquí, no me he ido, no creas que no te sigo en la distancia a través de estos fabulosos escritos donde compartes estas reflexiones valiosas... Este largo "silencio" entre nosotros, este tiempo transcurrido, te ha curtiendo el alma y hoy tengo la suerte de verlo plasmado en este blog. Sigue brindándonos esos sabios pensamientos, sigue escribiendo... que yo estaré aquí leyéndote :) Por cierto: increíble final el de este post. Un beso en silencio, MäGä Alan!

Loved your blog too Ellen, and subscribed right away! In my opinion your approach to writing is in line with the Tao: “things that are forced grow for a while, but then wither away.” ;) ‘I think we need to honor the silences in our lives and not force ourselves to write just because we think we “should.” There’s a rhythm to our lives, so it’s “live a little, write a little, live a little, write a little.”‘

I LOVE your writings. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm having a similar experience with a three-month immobilization to heal from an injury. Unexpected, but so the time is so appreciated. Now that the time is ending, I am not eager to return to the fray, but will do so gradually. To do or not to do: maybe that is the question?

To do or not to do: maybe that is the question?

Again thanks
