The most beautiful gift often comes without a ribbon. It is the invisible energy we share with others. These small moments are like tiny crystals of joy found in the rough. When we stop to appreciate a smile, we are mining for gold. True abundance is found in the heart, not the hands. I have learned that time is our most precious resource. Spending it with loved ones is a sacred act. We should cherish the quiet morning light. We should celebrate the simple comfort of a shared meal. These are the true treasures of a life well-lived. They are the foundations of our inner peace. Embrace the beauty of the present.

I share more about these precious life moments in my Sediments category.

Najljepši poklon

✦
Kada bih znala crtati, nacrtala bih jedan cvijet…
Ne, nacrtala bih polje cvijeća u nježnim pastelnim bojama
koje se spajaju u najljepši buket, i poklonila bih ga mojim prijateljima.
Kada bih znala pjevati, otpjevala bih jednu pjesmu,
ljubavnu i romantičnu, sa svim tonovima nježnosti.
Zvučala bi kao pjesma anđela, i poklonila bih je mojim prijateljima.
Kada bih znala plesati, obukla bih se u balerinu
i otplesala bih Labuđe jezero pokretima punim gracioznosti,
i poklonila bih taj ples mojim prijateljima.
Kada bih znala pisati, onda bih napisala
jednu pjesmu punu ljubavi i poklonila bih je mojim prijateljima.
Sve bih to učinila da ostanemo zauvijek skupa u bezvremenskoj ljubavi.

Le plus beau cadeau

✦
Si je savais dessiner, je dessinerais une fleur…
Non, je dessinerais un champ de fleurs aux couleurs pastel
qui s’unissent dans le plus beau bouquet, et je l’offrirais à mes amis.
Si je savais chanter, je chanterais une chanson,
amoureuse et romantique, avec tous les tons de tendresse.
Elle résonnerait comme le chant des anges, et je l’offrirais à mes amis.
Si je savais danser, je m’habillerais en ballerine
et je danserais le Lac des Cygnes avec des mouvements gracieux,
et j’offrirais cette danse à mes amis.
Si je savais écrire, alors j’écrirais
un poème plein d’amour et je l’offrirais à mes amis.
Je ferais tout cela pour que nous restions ensemble pour toujours dans un amour intemporel.

The Most Beautiful Gift

✦
If I knew how to draw, I would draw a flower…
No, I would draw a field of flowers in soft pastel colors
merging into the most beautiful bouquet, and I would give it to my friends.
If I knew how to sing, I would sing a song,
loving and romantic, with all the tones of tenderness.
It would sound like an angel’s song, and I would give it to my friends.
If I knew how to dance, I would dress as a ballerina
and dance Swan Lake with movements full of grace,
and I would give that dance to my friends.
If I knew how to write, then I would write
a poem full of love and I would give it to my friends.
I would do all of this so we could stay together forever in timeless love.
