Reality check

Essentially, reality is indeed the finest, the most verifiable master—because it shows the status quo without correcting it. The problem lies in the perception of each human being, which colours their awareness of what they are seeing. This depends on two factors. One is how vast their experience and knowledge are; the other is the height of maturity they have reached. Think of a mountain path: the lower you are in the valley, the narrower your horizon. The higher you climb, the broader your perception and understanding become. From the spiritual point of view, when you are still down in the valley, the mountains around you define, but at the same time embrace you. Your world is limited and therefore feels surer. The higher you climb, the wider the horizon becomes, and the more your choices multiply.

This is another big thing for me. I decided I will celebrate Christmas on Christmas day, instead of continuing the much loved German tradition to celebrate it on the evening of the 24th.

In the evening I think it is magic, intense, evocative. And yet I decided otherwise. I feel it's time to change because I have changed so much inside. Magic has lost that sentimental flair and has become reality. I feel differently, I am different. Therefore my Christmas will be on the 25th.

Because I want to celebrate a festivity I have begun to think now how I want to decorate where I am eating, the plates and cutlery I will be using.

But, most important, the food. Unfortunately I don't have a good relationship with food. I eat in an extremely simple way and I enjoy my simple food a lot. I am vegetarian, almost totally vegan and I enjoy my simple cooking. As I mainly eat steamed or row vegetables with some cereal like rice, oat, polenta, pasta.

Trying to adopt a more festive menu I ended up ruining the festivity because I don't fancy that kind of food. Therefore my decision: I will simply eat my normal beloved food, but in a festive decorated choreography.

This decision has eliminated the annual anxiety about what I could eat and now I am even looking forward to my new Christmas!
