There is a particular question that I’ve been faced with in recent months, and that is, ‘to have or to be?’ While I look around the glory of my home, each and every item that rests in its place has a special reminder of what it means to simply be. To be the friend, to be the daughter, to be the author, and to be the endless amount of things I am to the people that take care of me. I continue to look on in sheer jubilation when I meet the ways in which mankind bestow its love onto another through giving. And then I remember with a sense of enchantment what it means to be the sibling, the granddaughter and the partaker of this world which comes with an abundance of joy from sharing a vegan supper or a night at the orchestra or a walk into the distant future.
To the mind of a fortunate young woman, I can’t avoid the notion of having and being and ‘the great promise‘ that was once discussed by our generous ancestors. While they claim that happiness is subject to having and to satisfying our dreams and yearnings, other personalities such as Buddha and Master Eckhart come from another place of love. For centuries, they have understood that we should free ourselves from having in order to reach a state of spiritual wealth.
But like all teachings, I made the great promise to have my own set of beliefs in place. And they came to me as I walked out onto my very own back lawn. As the distance took on its own green luminosity, the branches of the tree took me to a place of serenity. The tree that we call ‘old man’s beard’ happened to furnish the land around me, and instilled a good reason to connect me back to my own psyche. And as I have the upmost respect for the tree that produces its own cozy fur balls, I came to believe that I not only have a tree resting peacefully in front of me, but I can gladly let him be and graciously accept his gift that was bestowed within me. In essence, what I claim is, we must have in order to be. And what could we possibly be without the by-products of each and every creature of the grand promise of creation?
And may I tell you that I simply love to have and to be treated with love and respect by the products of Farmacia Barcelona. They are wise enough to know that I may not be quite as healthy without the pleasure of witnessing how my own body can change instantaneously with just a little philosophy. And doesn’t the ride of life appeal more when there is a reason to be and to see that each passing moment provides us with things to enjoy in all their glory?
And what’s more, the ride is ours for the taking. Teresa too is part of that ride and in her own glorious way she has an offer to display. She wants to help you play without the need to pray! So get your magical wand and say, I’ll go that way. If you’re part of the play yourself, you can marvel in the three products she is taking from her shelf and giving to you as a gesture of her own loving self.
The exfoliating apricot gel will help your skin through the thick and the thin and it’s yours for the taking for just €5.99. The oil-free hair shampoo will see you through the door for quatro (€4) Euro and the regenerative tepezcohuite cream will see that your skin is hydrated and clean with plenty of natural protein and sunscreen. This is an offer to redeem for just €5.60.
Since Teresa loves the spring, it’s really a good thing. The offer is in your reach for just about a week, so enjoy them a plenty and do not weep. You are free to be, an abundant particle of humanity.
We wish you lots of love, Anneka and Teresa at Farmacia Barcelona
