Take greater care of what you build
within yourself than of what
you pursue outside yourself…🌹
For no external reality
is ever truly permanent…🌹
And very often, what we seek
so intensely through others
is nothing more than the reflection
of what we feel is still missing
within us…🌹
ÚKA🌹HEKA
No, no…
do not tell me
to stop singing
Our Eternal Song…🌹
Born from
the cosmic dust
with which
Our Melody
was written…
Yes,
Ours…
The one that began
before Time
learned
to divide moments,
before even
the stars
kindled
their first memory…🌻
Do not ask me
for silence,
because when I sing,
I do not call to you
from absence…
I recognize you…
I recognize
the ancient vibration
that flows through
Our Voice,
the echo
of that which
never needed
to begin
in order
to continue existing…🌹
Our Song
does not belong
to this world…
yet it finds
within our bodies
a way
to manifest Itself…
At times
it becomes silence,
at others,
distance,
and at others,
a wound
that still preserves
its music intact…🌻
Yet
it never disappears…
It remains
suspended
within that space
where the invisible
needs no proof,
where every note
holds the echo
of the one before,
and where
You and I
cease to be
two separate voices.
No…🌹
do not tell me
to stop singing.
Because even
when my lips
fall silent,
my Soul
continues
to sing
the Melody
that the Universe
wrote
with stardust
upon the immensity
of Our bond.
Ours…🌻
the one
that can never
be repeated
by anyone else,
because it was born
from the unrepeatable way
in which
your eternity
sang beside
mine.
And as long
as there remains
a single fragment
of consciousness
capable
of remembering,
I shall
keep singing it…🌹
not to hold on
to you,
not to bring you
back,
but because
there are Songs
that were never created
to be heard…
they were created
to keep open
the place
where two Souls
continue recognizing
one another
beyond
Time,
beyond
form,
beyond even
everything
we once believed
could be called
separation…🌻
ÚKA🌹HEKA
I learned that letting
my soul fly
was the path to releasing
the bonds
imposed by society…🪽🌹
I came to understand
that the hardest
chains to break
are not those
that imprison
the body,
but those
that slowly
convince
the spirit
that it
cannot
take flight…
So I opened
the wings
that had always
lived within me,
and I allowed
fear
to remain
upon the earth…
Fly,
my dear friend…
Take my hand…🪽🌹
Let us journey
together
beyond
the horizon
of the impossible,
beyond
every belief,
every limit,
and everything
we were taught
to fear…
For the soul
was never born
to obey
boundaries…
It was born
to remember
that the Infinite
has always been
its true home…🪽🌹

It is often more comforting
to find someone
who feeds our illusions
than someone
who refuses to do so…🌹
Perhaps that is why
those who choose
not to create dependency in others…
can sometimes
make us uncomfortable
I chose this path…
to accompany,
to be present…
but without creating dependency
For me, this is the path
that gives each soul
the space to find its way
back to itself
Because we can all choose…
to hold on
or to set free…🌹
to feed the illusion
or to honor the Truth
that one day
must reveal itself…
And perhaps
only time will reveal
whether what we lived
was true Love…
or whether
we were merely sustaining
our own shadows…🌹
ÚKA🌹HEKA
I dwell in the Perfect Present…🌻
Thus replied the sunflower
when asked
the secret
of its dance:
I never learned
to follow the Light…
because I never
learned
to feel
separated
from Her
I do not follow the Sun🌹
I simply
cannot
turn my back
on It
Not out of devotion,
nor out of obedience…
but because…
the very same Light
you behold
within the Sun…
is the very Light
that blossoms
within me 🌻
And that,
is true Freedom
Just like yours
No one can ever take it from You…🌹
ÚKA🌹HEKA
Your truth is not defended…
Your truth is L🌹ved
Because what is true for you
needs no armor,
no desperate arguments,
no voices
to impose it upon others…
Your truth remains…
even when no one understands it
even when someone
tries to distort it…🌹
To Love your truth
is not to wield it as a weapon
nor to turn it into a battle
It is to hold it
with such serenity
that it no longer needs
to defeat anyone…
in order to remain
your Truth…🌹
ÚKA🌹HEKA
And why do you need
to make a mystery
of Silence, my L🌹ve…?
Last night I found him
in the darkness,
before a half-open door,
holding a key
that had no teeth…
He brought the key
to my ear…🌹
And on the other side,
someone began
to listen to me…
I pressed my lips
to the keyhole…
And the door,
without anyone touching it,
closed its eyes…
Then Silence
left the key
between us…🌹
And I understood
that it was not he
who kept us
on either side of the door…🌹
ÚKA🌹HEKA
