BaliOhBali I Truly Miss You On This LoveFriday!

in lovefriday β€’Β  7 years agoΒ  (edited)

I πŸ’œβ€οΈπŸ’›πŸ’š to find those Images on my Phone!

image

I am on a train to the Austrian countryside for a weekend with friends and there is a lot of lovley serenity and "Green" to see for my tired eyes but
my Love on this Friday goes out to the Island I spent nearly 2 decades of my life.

image

It was a so called Love & Hate friendship with the sacred ground, the home of Gods & Goddesses but also Evil & Corruption.

image

The natural balance of our universe!

image

Paradise is where we find it and right next to it there will be Hell.

image

There will not be Niskala without Sekala!

image

There are only two options you got and it's only up to you what to choose.

image

Adapt & Accept or go to find another place you call your home with similar emotions as well as similar challenges to face. It's the same wherever you go.

image

I will never regret that I decided to stay for that many years, raising and preparing my child with simple and innocent values, spiritual Hindu roots, mixed with western manners.

image

** I still love Bali and many good people I met.

image

Always will!

Hello @mammasitta, i late to commented, but although somewhat late i want to share a bit in your article.

You are rigth that wherever we #live or see #photography or #travel wherever it is beautiful, it will be much more beautiful more comfortable land our own island even though the "beauty" #bali or any regoin we come will be far peaceful living land alone.

Our home ground is our own mother, away from her mom like this #life is hollow.

Regard @madcool.

Your feedback and words are wonderful on a georgeous morning in the lower legion of Austria. You are indeed #madcool !!! πŸ’“

Homesickness is the best feeling that anybody can get, it is mixed with all the emotions. We can spend all our life only with these sweet memories. Memories are the best thing that do not leave us in this world alone. They hold our hands always.

Wow! You can read my mind πŸ’“

Thank you you love indonesia, when will you visit again to indonesia, i want to wait for your latest story about indonesia..thank you @mammasitta

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Ahhhh, I'm just soaking up these images - Bali is in my top 5 places I want to visit!

I love what you said about next to paradise there will be hell. It's all beautifully in balance. Similarly, the way we choose to perceive things can put us either in heaven or in hell. :)

Yap! I lived them both to the fullest 🐲🐲🐲and this for over 16 years right after New York.
So nice to see you on my little picture book.

"Adapt & Accept or go to find another place you call your home" you're right, dear Silvia, it's the same wherever we go. I think the "perfect place" doesn't exist, but there are many place where we can live as better we can, meeting nice people, give them a bit of ourselves and take from them a bit of themselves. Maybe the "perfect place" it's just inside ourselves thanks our experiences, our thoughts, our love ^_^

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ (edited)

Oh how Bella your words of wisdom! @silviabeneforti
I have no Idea what really happened to me but at some point all those great things became a burden on my shoulders. I saw it as a message, a hint that the world is so much larger than a little, sweet island. So many secrets are still hiding away and I am about to find it all. I saw there is no void inside me anymore and I can sit still anywhere, just let life happen or just move more slowly. It's such a new experience. I guess I am becoming just a little bit wiser = older and more calm.

I can understand you! I've always live in Italy, but I changed many houses and many villages. Just little "changes", but sometimes I couldn't resist to change something in my life, at the end I think this changes "enriched" me ;)

This is a beautiful post and tribute to those years in Bali. I'll take the "It's the same wherever you go.", it's a lesson I'm having difficulty to learn.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ (edited)

Maybe I'm a bit boring bringing up those years on and on but there was so much beauty I experienced. it's hard to share all of it but yes it's my kind of tribute to MYSELF and the courage I had to just change my life, leave the big red apple called New York City. I did it many times and turned back to my roots for now. Who knows what's next?

Our life is like a spinning wheel πŸ˜‡

I don't think your revisiting posts are boring, no way!! I love your writing and positive spirit that your posts have!!

Hello @mammasitta, I love all the pics in this post, you seem to miss Bali soo much. I've been there once and I admire every inch of it. Saya yakin Anda lancar berbahasa Indonesia ya?

Tinggal di indonesia mengajari saya banyak pelajaran dan banyak kenangan bagus dan buruk akan tetap ada di hati saya! Saya bersyukur!

Wah, lancar banget bahasa Indonesianya @mammasitta. Semoga kenangan buruknya tidak sampai membuat kapok untuk datang lagi ke Indonesia. Hal hal baik dan buruk akan selalu ada di manapun kita berada, kuantitasnya saja yang berbeda. Terimakasih. Salam dari Aceh.😊
