We are not born old, but we are born as children,
How close the light is to us.

And to school, when tiny, we walk alone, little ones,
How close the light is to us.

We grow up then, we learn new things,
How close the light is to us.

And friends, then love comes for the two of us,
How close the light is to us.

Hidden among the flowers, we write sad letters,
How close the light is to us.

Tears sometimes fall like flower petals,
How close the light is to us.

We wake up one day, we with our own children,
How close the light is to us.

And when the star in our dream, look, sadly faded,
How far away the light is from us.

All that remains of us is this song, and then,
We search for the light among the stars.

I see myself as a simple person, always seeking authenticity and joy in the primordial things of life. I find fulfillment in nature — in gardening, nurturing plants, and growing my own vegetables and herbs. I love creating with my hands: drawing, painting, crocheting, and making small decorative crafts, as well as preparing natural and fermented goods, full of life and flavor. I believe in the intelligence of nature and its healing power, using plants and essential oils to make teas, creams, and natural remedies. I’m inspired by the simplicity of a homemade meal, just like my grandmother used to make, by a song played on the guitar, or a quiet walk in the park. I practice yoga, mindfulness, and gratitude for the little things.
