This summer I was blessed to visit Antipaxos, a small Greek island with concentrated beauty in the Ionian sea. And there, in front of the magic turquoise waters I promised myself: whatever happens, whichever wave of life I face, to always remember this blue… the bright, the crystal, the clear... The one that marries the summer sun with the vastness of the sea and colors it with the help of the earth with the most hopeful color, this blue…

Like that day, every other time I recall the memory of this picture, a big breath springs from my chest. A breath of abundance, serenity and plenitude which instantly circulates in all my cells. Α breath of freedom and flow that clears up my mind. And in a moment my whole physiology and psychology change: my heart relaxes, my hug opens, my vision gains clarity, my feet step firmly on the ground and every next step seems more fordable. 

The dreamy blue of Antipaxos is there for everyone who wants to see it and fill up with it. Like every other stimulus of our senses which is up to our choice to let it flood us in. What stimuli do I really have in my daily life, in my home, in my activities, in my contacts? What kind of food do my senses receive every moment? How do I feel with it? Although more and more scientific researches confirm the influence of these stimuli in psychic, physical and mental health and balance, the personal experience is for me the most unassailable proof. If just one picture can offer such direct and holistic change, how different would our life be if we chose consciously to flood it up with pictures, sounds, smells, tastes, touches of abundance and love?...

Maybe the trip to Antipaxos is a distant luxury for a lot of people. The sun that rises though, the starry sky, a flower, a song, a hug, an “I love you”, a “thank you”,… exist in abundance, as long as I allow myself to experience them and to share them. And when everything changes and every constant is reconsidered, I still have the choice to connect inside me with this bright, crystal, clear blue!
