Hurricane over the Senj... In nature and in my soul. #AfrerHiveFest

I came to Senj again. I was met by a hurricane! An incredibly powerful element was raging, filling me with excitement and fear at the same time...
We were sitting in the car, and we could feel our car swaying in the wind! A thought arose: can the car be blown off the cliff by the wind :) Sometimes nature forces us, people, to bow our heads... I spent three days in peace and thought to find balance... After the last evening, I got cold and fell ill. I measured the pressure - it increased! Why? I was traveling for a whole month, there were various stressful situations on the trails, but never once was my blood pressure higher than 120/80! Why now? Panic again! I must control myself. I will find the answer to this question. Maybe you are a person who believes in numbers? If you are over 40, then your blood pressure should be 140/90...? I am a person who has a different opinion. I will write at the end of my post :)

And now about Senj and the views from the balcony of my Airbnb apartment, which is located at the top of the city. I spent three days here before HiveFest and I really loved this small Croatian town with few cars and many beautiful natural and historical places. So, I returned and settled in another place. Thanks to our @bugavi, for whom housing is very important, and she always finds great places!
I think that accommodation is important for each of us during our journey. And if your accommodation gives you the opportunity to enjoy the city without leaving home, then it's cool, agree! And this was the rare occasion when I enjoyed myself! Despite the hurricane outside the window!

I had the feeling that I was standing on a mountain and enjoying the views of Croatia from a bird's eye view! Every now and then I went out to the balcony to smell the wind!

From my balcony I could see the famous fortress on the green hill. On the third day, the hurricane subsided and we went for a walk there.

It was cloudy, quiet and foggy. A little rain fell. The air was fresh and filled with the scent of flowers...

I was in such a state that my need for a walk in nature increased to the maximum! I enjoyed every tree, flower, snails, which were actively moved during the rain. There are many cedar pines and cypress trees around. And also almond nuts. @darine.darine is great at climbing the tree and collected a lot of nuts :)
We ate it by smashing it with a stone on the asphalt 😄
I felt my soul being filled with this living energy that is always freely available to each of us...

A little reflection on the contrasts that make up our lives...

We spent 5 wonderful days at Hive Fest among truly great and exceptional people who cheered us on with their smiles, helped us feel confident in an English speaking environment, even shared their food with us, when we were late for dinner and the kitchen was closed :) I'm really happy to know , that Hive is a community of friends all over the world, people who have big goals and dreams and are friendly... But unfortunately "in every barrel of honey there is a drop of tar". And I got this taste by watching some people I know for a long time, and unfortunately these people wear the mask of sincere and open, kind and positive among their foreign influential friends! But there is a real face...
I will not name those names. After all, it is my task to learn not to worry about it. This challenge is for me! I want to live according to the principle: if I am hurt, offended by the actions of other people, I must let it go, give it to God... There are the following words of the great Mother Teresa: "...one day we will understand: everything that happens to us is not between between us and between people, it is between us and God..."

P.S. I promised to write about my vision of violations of normal pressure: Here I completely agree with the author of the famous bestseller of Louise L. Hay
Our vessels carry blood filled with emotions. It should be filled with joy!
Suppressed negative emotions and a depressed state cause disruption of the correct energy flow in our body. If this happens every day and for many years, then the organ becomes weak and sick. And by changing our attitude to the situation, accepting ourselves and people as we are, without judgment, helps us to be healthy at any age.

Has it ever happened in your life that you were upset by the actions of other people and this caused a suppressed sadness and pain that you could not express? Are you also a person who worries too much if you see hypocrisy and "pay with your health for other people's sins"? I would appreciate any comments on my thoughts.

Thanks for reading!

Senj is known for the wind. It's called 'Senj's wind'. Usually takes about three days and then stops. I drive through Senj when I go to HiveFest, too. But stopped for the coffee in Karlobag, next bigger town on the coast. And yes, it was rainy and windy that day.
