'The twists and turns of life make us, break us and shape us to who we are today. Everything that happens to us whether we want to believe it or not is in perfect harmony with how it is meant to be. We cannot understand why bad things happen to good people, or even why good things happen. Often things don’t make sense in our lives. That’s the time to surrender and know that it’s out of our control.'

In a world that doesn't seem to value sensitivity, life for empaths can become lonely and a struggle sometimes.

Where shallowness and denseness seem to take the lead as we stand by and watch how ignorance rules. The conclusion i have come to is, it has to be a karmic cycle, otherwise nothing makes sense.

With my sister being in ICU for several weeks, me having had bronchitis and my treasured dog Grace had a tumor removed. My world has been shaken upside down for the past 5 weeks. It happened all at once, it felt like my foundations were crumbling.

They say a diamond 💎 has to undergo intense pressure in order to make it pure so it can shine. I see so many people suffering and struggling at the moment and you see the shallow ones with little depth, cruising life, filled with gluttony and ego. I'm sure it forces us to question. How does this life work ? Somehow it does, the karmic wheel turns slowly 🐌 but it does turn.

My beautiful 😍 companion and soul connection Grace 👑 is a perfect symbol of beauty, love, loyalty and divine love in my life. Any good that I have done in my past has come back to me through all my animals.

The love I feel 💓, the closeness and the safety I experience in Nature makes me realise God is always present in the moment's of despair. If you have never been loved by an animal it is difficult to explain.

We should not be fighting to save trees, teaching people integrity, campaigning to save the ocean. These are natural to our existence. Those that destroy people's happy places and disregard nature and still preach the gospel are not reflecting the light from the sun. Those who govern institutions and are given important positions that don't respect the well being of all, are the ones we must chase away.

Instead, sensitive beings hide away, try to find their tribe and shy away from a life that could be so different. We are taught that narcissism is powerful when in fact it is evil and weakness. We learn that creativity is stupid and intellect, logic is clever. So far from the truth.

If you have never undergone severe emotional, physical trauma how will you ever know the other side of true gentleness.

To be sensitive 🥺 is to show kindness and compassion to the smallest living being. To respect with all with dignity, to experience the invisible world, unspoken word and to realise in this stillness lies our creator 💓.

To those that feel they don't belong. You belong, you belong more than the empty vessels that make the most noise. Your kingdom is your sensitivity your wisdom and your inner knowing is the reflection of the sun.

So sensitive one's the light in your heart is exactly what this world needs right now. Shine ! 💜

Love Marlene

Nature is our teacher... thought provoking words from Marlene Neumann.

Nature teaches us that change is a part of everyday life.
