The Power of Belief
I love Christmas… I love their power to transform the world into a warm place where there’s more love and joy in the air… touchable feeling of the belief in magic, dreams, hope for all the good things… there are more relaxed and smiling faces on the streets…
I love that people change their habits a little… they focus on things as thinking about others more… getting gifts, preparing decoration, Christmas sweets, celebrate, slow down to enjoy this time of the year.
It’s not the first time I am spending Christmas time here, but this year I am mesmerized by the local version of it. I truly loved the simple island Christmas. What I mean is that here are no big shopping centers, and less things in general, which leads to spending more time not buying more, but with living more.
The first Christmas I spent here, I felt the real magic of it despite it didn’t offer all the things I was used to… no snow, no Christmas markets with mulled wine… and so many other things… This year, I told myself a few weeks ago, I would maybe welcome a little more of that Christmassy distractions, but anyway, I know I am here and I love the simplified pure local version, it’s ok.
And then the magic happened.
I don’t know if it was my wish or Santa Claus, who delivered his gift earlier this year, but in just a few days, the island has transformed into a magical fairy tale kind of place even with the ice skating area above the sea, in the little porto. And there’s a real Christmas market too!
So now, I have the perfect combination here. The sea of Christmas magic to dive in and celebrate. And then the real sea with its waves and limitless horizon to observe in silence during my walks in the winter quiet streets while sending my gratitude and also my next wishes into the Universe, which never ceases to surprise us, if we are open, believe in magic and dreams that come true when we least expect it.
Love, K.
