Letting go

You finally forgot all the wickedness of your family when even the memories within your cells have been cleansed. It's a long process. It includes wiping away every memory that keeps popping up shouting at you: "Look what have they done to you!" - "Look what you allowed them!" - "Look how blind you were!" The thing is that you did see the wickedness, but you couldn't believe they were so malevolent. "It's family: they can't wish me bad... " In reality: they can!  Exactly your very own parents, siblings, or children can often incarnate very hostile presences. An this is a tremendous reality to metabolise.

Kauma

Kauma (καῦμα) is the Greek word for heat. It brings you immediately to the hot Mediterranean countries, when the hot Summer is at its apex, and the dry temperature is so elevated, especially during the after midday nap, that there is an almost surreal silence. Therefore, this Greek word, it originally means "heat", but at the same time it means "calm" too.

In these days there was a Kauma weather. Not normal in the first weeks of June! And exactly as the word reminds, the hours around and after midday were sofly pulsing an immobile silence of the wait. While nothing happened and everything was totally still.

Everyday was announced a weather alarm for possible heavy storms, but no, no storm, no rain, no refreshment. The sky was whiter and whiter, with some hints of grey. Heavy loaded with an increasing humidity. Silence and immobility. Until today in the late afternoon. The storm arrived. It didn't last long, though. 
Nevertheless it was a relief!
