happy – Pieces of Infinity

Fruit markets and tropical vibes

Posted on 2020/02/09 by Maja Li

Right now, weather here in Germany is the complete opposite of typical weather in Rajasthan; it’s cold, rainy, the sky is grey and everywhere people are going crazy bc of the storm which will hit us in few hours…but somehow I’m not that concerned. However, maybe bc of these uncomfy, rough vibes I’m missing the tropical vibes of India; the heat, the sunshine, the palm trees, the unbelievable green of the forest and the warm orange everywhere in Rajasthan…and of course the amazing fruit markets, which we found absolutely everywhere in India, selling all the fruits you can imagine…Of course super cheap and – depending on the season – also very fresh, especially the mangos…so we ended up having several mangos each day…ohhh now I’m missing these days even more…

Sweet life

Posted on 2020/02/06 by Maja Li

Some days, the tristesse of the smalltowns I work or live in is pulling me down, so I can’t enjoy anything then but Yoga and running, or escaping to the woods…but these days I feel fine, even while spending day by day in between grey walls and empty people. I think our inner state plays a huge role when it’s about daily life; we can choose to be sad and angry about everything, or we can choose to see beauty in everything. And yes, sometimes it feels impossible to see the beauty in everything, but it’s not, just harder sometimes. And finally: The way you feel, and the way you meet the world, the things will come to you, the world will come to you and invite you to adventures, you never even could imagine.

Why I need at least a second life/Travel plans

Posted on 2020/01/28 by Maja Li

I’m quite stressed by my work these days as I also have to write stuff for university…and so I hardly find any time for doing things I love…or if I find time I’ve got less time left for sleeping…so I have to get enough sleep at the weekends which means again that I’ll have less time for writing, painting, hiking, running, Yoga…so, no matter what I do, there’s not enough time for everything. Sometimes I feel like I need at least a second life to do all the things I’d love to do.

But what I actually wanted to write about is, what makes me keep doing all of this:

Looking forward to my next journey, not a long journey this time, but a journey I’ve been waiting for for a long time..to a magical place I’ve already been to in autumn 2018…: Portugal!

2019/2020

Posted on 2020/01/01 - 2020/01/02 by Maja Li

2019 was a year full of final goodbyes, of days filled up with new thoughts, a year full of writing and drawing, meditation and nature, running and Yoga…a year full of delicious food, full of colors and sun and sea, a year with less parties but more time to find the beauty in everything, a year with not many but hard decisions, a year full of new things to learn… I became a Yogateacher, explored India, and started to study Social Work..and finally everything I was concerned about turned out as something positive for my life. However; I’m super thankful for 2019!…and looking forward to a magic 2020 full of love, freedom and life!

Kasol, and why I went another time to India

Posted on 2019/12/26 - 2020/01/02 by Maja Li

A lovely street dog and me, in Kasol, India, few weeks ago.
Sometimes I still wonder, how I ended up spending 4 months in India…as I had planned only two months, feb and march, mostly to do a yoga teacher course…India itself didn’t interest me that much, back then.
But from the first day on, it completly overwhelmed me with all the places full of beautiful, pure, chaotic life.
I still remember how thick the tropical air was when I left the airport, and this strange, different smell, the sounds of this – for me – new piece of earth…
I guess this was when I realized, that it would be damn different than my journeys before.
And so it was.
I travelled around, together with a lovely friend from home, explored, learned and mostly learned how less I knew because I were always staying in safe, clean and grey europe.
And I learned, that all my expectations how the people would be here were clearly influenced by stupid german media, western media.
So, forget all the western stories about this country and go and explore by yourself!;)
About how I came back to India…
I couldn’t get enough in these two months, feb and march, I couldn’t get enough of the nature, the mountains, the jungle, the sea, the fruitshops, the markets and rikscharides, the sunsets and coconuts, yogalessons and meetings with other travellers, culture and food, and all these people living here, and especially one of them, so that’s why I am here again.
