Christmas Time

On the 6th of December, the north of Europe celebrates Sankt Nikolaus, a Turkish Bishop, and patron of Bari, in the south of Italy. I really don't understand how a saint of the mediterranen area became so famous in the north of Europe. The same happens with Saint Lucia of Syracuse (Sicily), celebrated on the 13th of December, in the south of Italy, but also in Sweden, where all the girls dressed in white, with a crown of lit candles, very early in the morning, chanting "santa Lucia", the Italian song, visit all family members in their rooms, waking them up with the just baked Christmas biscuits.  On the 7th of December is Saint Ambrose, the German Bishop who became the patron saint of Milan. Of course being Milan the Italian place I have always related to, it is still a festivity that I remember.

Getting rid of bonds

 


Step after step, getting rid of bonds, malicious bonds, which hold you captive like in a mold, a matrix, you learned to consider your skin…

Every time you try to cut the ties that keep you in the mold, you simply can’t. Fear and strong guilt feelings are the major hindrance. Therefore you step back, suddenly ashamed of yourself for that kind of pride that pushes you out of the common rules, daring too much. Now you see how wild you were. Submissive and obedient you feel docile and pious again, and the blessings pour onto you. You are back, well protected inside the mold.

And yet, after some time here it is again: that deep push inside. Again you feel tremendously lucid in your thoughts and feelings. You clearly see the inner prison which binds you like in a spell. You realise that indeed: it is a spell! And again you feel that terrible urge inside to severing ties. But you can’t. There is not enough strength inside.

Once again, the rebellious wave calms down and once more you humbly go back in the ranks.

Eventually, one day, totally out of the blue, without any sign that could reveal you were getting ready, something of minor importance happens, and you simply cut off everything which was still binding you to situations and people, holding you hostage in their emotional and pseudo moral blackmail! And you are out of the mold, out of the matrix. Surprised that everything happened without any effort, but very smoothly, simply and naturally!
