the spring is so beautiful. Even the sun came out from behind the clouds. The wind calmed down and I am cleaning the mess the bad weather made on the deck. I am trying to rest.
Yesterday’s night was just beautiful! I saw a multitude of stars which had been hidden behind clouds before. I just sat in the cockpit and tried to recognise familiar constellations... I woke up at 3 am, stared into the sky for a moment, went down to drink some water. I stopped there and stared at the bottle of water for about a minute, and I thought: “life”. Maybe I’m going crazy or I’ve read too many books by Kapuściński, but I went to sleep thinking that it is so amazing: water and food. Some of us do not even have that and we worry about shoes not matching a new dress (and the wardrobe is full of shoes), or that we need a new car... Let’s think sometimes about those who are dying of dehydration, sometimes in large numbers... (do reflect on it a bit, but not while you can’t finish your food). Let’s distance ourselves from our “needs”, the lack of which worries us... Maybe make one step further and think what could we do in order to help others? I believe that each of us can do something which could help someone... Maybe spring is good for making resolutions: I will do something good for others. Even if I don’t save somebody’s life, I will help those who actually do... How about that?
