Drink water from the spring where horses drink.
The horse will never drink bad water;
Lay your bed where the cat sleeps;
Eat the fruit that has been touched by a worm.
Boldly pick the mushroom on which the insects sit;
Plant the tree where the mole digs.
Build your house where the snake sits to warm itself;
Dig your fountain where the birds hide from heat.
Go to sleep and wake up at the same time with the birds – you will reap all of the days golden grains.
Eat more green – you will have strong legs and a resistant heart, like the beings of the forest;
Swim often and you will feel on earth like the fish in the water;
Look at the sky as often as possible and your thoughts will become light and clear;
Be quiet a lot, speak little – and silence will come in your heart, and your spirit will be calm and full of peace.
- Saint Seraphim of Sarov
Until next time,
- Mikaela.
