I've gotten round to reading this late, but as so often happens it came just at the right time. I took a break from my ADHD medication today and i forgot how much slower (and calmer) life is without the stimulants. Thanks for writing this Ilan 🙏🏿❤️

A valuable read, written in blue by a deep-thinking author!

You open topics and sub-topics for reflection, little niches, where we can think deeply about the pictures you have drawn through words. Words, that push you inward and any attempt to slide along the surface is wrong. I love your approach, your courage to look at things from your angle - to let your inner world prevail over the outer, telling the outer as it is reflected inside. To me, this is the courage of a writer - to trust his talent and try to master it, guide it and model it. A writer, who learns the vocation on the move and skillfully combines his unique real-world experience with solitude from where the enrichment and expansion come. And thus, the creativity acquires its appearance, its meaning.

This is another magnificent, inspirational message from which the words, like magic spells, float into reality and change it... with presence in which "the subtle rhythms of nature visible in the crisping leaves and the sways of the reeds in the breeze, all speak to a deeper truth..." Thank you, Ilan! 🙂

What a lovely comment to receive, thank you Diana :) I’m glad it resonates, often times I’m not sure what I’m about to write and surprise myself at what comes out. You’re right in observing the lessons are found in nature, of which you’re familiar with, thank you as always
