People care

There are resources that increase with use, and one of them is friendship. This message from Looby Macnamara’s book “Permaculture and People” stuck with me and echoed through my head long after I finished reading it. There is a great deal of truth in this: with each interaction, kind word, or attention we give, friendship grows deeper and richer. When we invest time, energy, and genuine care, it becomes an invaluable resource in our lives, providing us with love, support, and acceptance.

And the last few days I have been living the permacultural principle of “people care,” when four friends visited me in Barcelona. We spent a wonderful and intense time together, strolling around the city, hiking in the mountains, and just cuddling and sharing what is currently happening in our lives and what is on our minds. What remains now that they’ve gone is a lot of gratitude is a lot of gratitude, energy, and warmth, and the sudden feeling of needing some space for myself again. And that’s what I’m doing now: finding some silence, breathing consciously, and taking care of myself.

Hasta luego!
