One has to go out to find the adventures... I read it these days in one comment or post... I actually don't remember anymore where. Seriously. But I also think that sometimes one has to enter its own mind and find the adventures there. Or mix both and see what happens 😂
This morning I was just about to leave the apartment and go to the mountain when I remembered a post of mine, written a long time ago but from the same place that I actually visited today. The same valley, filled with water, that turquoise mass of water you see in the first picture. Between two mountains, it reflects the blue colour of the sky, but it is not the same colour. It's a different shade of it. That water that flows between the greenery keeps a secret and some powers that we will now put to the test. Just take my hand and come with me, nothing to be scared of. There will be paths, flowers, lessons, stones... and death. You see, all safe, don't be afraid.
Paths
So, to repeat the first sentence, about going out to have real adventures... you definitely have to take some paths to live those extraordinary experiences. First, we took the path to the elevator and descended to the garage, then turned on the car and kept on driving through the town, traffic, on roads and curves... the landscape changed and we found ourselves in pure nature. Walking down to the lake, taking this cracked road.
We can usually go by car down, but one street in the village through which we had to pass was closed (it will come in a separate story) so we had to use our feet. The descending part was easy. Imagine the same going up, when we decided to go home. Anyway, every path is good, even if it is old and cracked. They give us the opportunity to reach the places where we want to be.
Also, the paths themselves can already give some nice moments, you can look on one side and see trees, fields or bushes with many flowers.
From a closer view, the same little yellow flowers.
The Place
When I reached the lake I chose a place to carry out my plan. Yes, I came here having a plan in my mind... but the success of the same, the results don't depend just on me. I needed a bigger water surface and some stones. This place looked nice and suitable.
I started to look around to find the needed natural items and by one bush I saw a frog. Oh, no, they are not my favourite creatures on this planet. I have to admit, they are not dangerous as scorpions or snakes, but there are toxic ones and also those that can lead you to have some hallucinations.
(I assure you, this frog was not one of those... I think...)
At first, it seemed like an ordinary frog. But we need adventure in this story, so let's imagine that he started to talk to me. Let's imagine too that after some short chit-chat, he promised to convert himself into a prince from a fairy tale. That he would be a charming one and all that stuff. I just assured him that I don't really like frogs, however, I think it killed the poor creature... but don't forget, it all happened just in the imagination!

The Plan
Back to the plan and my efforts to find the needed items.
A long, long time ago my piano teacher (at the University) shared with me a secret. To help me get rid of some thoughts or states, she revealed to me a technique... You see, a piano teacher doesn't teach just how to play the piano. She said me to find a rock, a stone and write on it what I want to get rid of. For example, the fear of playing on the stage. Or something that bothers you and it's a thing you can change with your attitude. Write the word on a stone and throw it away, to a river, sea or lake. It is a psychological trick, but let's try it out now. I found a few stones, to write on them.
What happens lately with me are my frequent migraine episodes. They became worse than last year and happen more often. I remembered the advice my teacher gave me... write a word on a stone and throw it away. I know that sickness can't be solved in this way, but a migraine episode is not an illness, it is a state one suffers. It is many times provoked by stress or when we are more sensitive. Maybe I can help myself by having a different attitude, and not allowing the migraines hit so often.
I chose one stone. Wrote on it the word and...
... and I launched it with energy into this lake. This is the water that keeps now the stone that carried the message. Migraines, go away. Stay there, at the bottom of the lake!
These episodes can be really hard. They challenge my strengths, mind and body. Every episode leaves a few visible wrinkles more, and I have the feeling that my skin already looks like the petals of this flower.
Was it a crazy idea what I did today? I know, for many, it would seem stupid... maybe I just bring some laughter to the readers and it is already a good thing then :))
But let's test this experiment. If anyone wants to join me and try out the same, feel free to do it and let me know if it helps. If not, I hope that these photos from nature at least bring some nice moments to those who open the post!
