To the magnificent artist. To the greatest alchemist. To the living miracle.
Thank You תודה Gracias
Thank you for always being here for me and for all of us,
for each one who is seeking your healing and your truth,
waiting for us to come back to you and remember.
On your sacred ground, I can fully surrender
feel my darkness,
face my fears and limitations.
I’m bleeding to you
all the pain and tiredness I carry
from this sick, manipulative, controlling, disconnected patriarchal society.
I scream my deep rage and hate
towards too many generations of control, violence, abuse, and manipulation.
You’re holding my vulnerability with so much love, soaking each drop of this ancient black blood that I, you, and all of us women have kept in our wombs for lifetimes.
This is an indescribable, heavy grief and sadness.
You show me how to transform it into fresh, clear water of hope,
flowing straight from the fountain of wisdom and love.
Together, we alchemize.
We compost this pain into trust.
I rise stronger and clearer, ready for the path of change
through love, truth, compassion, and acceptance.
Thank you for cracking my heart / את ליבי / mi corazón
open and breaking me into pieces, so that infinite light and love could enter inside. So I could feel everything. So I can see clearly. Thank you for holding me when I’m in pain. Firm, powerful, embracing me with so much warmth and beauty.
Thank you for whispering to me when I’m afraid: “Look at the world through your heart and dream, not through the story nor the past.”
Thank you for the emptiness and the loneliness that allow my soul to crawl into and expand within that space, my heart to open to the universe, and myself to be my best friend, sister, mother, lover, whomever I need at that moment, or my biggest enemy. It’s all my choice.
Thank you for the pain of separation, which makes me understand we are one with all.
Thank you for actually and truly being free / חופשייה / libre,
not owned by anyone, just like none of us is. Thank you for holding ancient wisdom long before we were here, accessible to all who choose to listen. Thank you for offering it to us through each rock, tree, butterfly, flower, river, and cell. Thank you for allowing me to enjoy all of your magical, beautiful manifestations in my own body. Thank you for this huge present. I feel honored to experience life through this miraculous, intelligent, unbelievably wise vessel.
To touch you with my feet, with my hands, with my back, and my cheeks.
To explore your textures with my skin, your flavors with my mouth, and your smells with my nose.
To listen to your sounds with my ears, and to witness your beauty and colors with my eyes. To breathe with my lungs, to love with the butterflies dancing in my belly.
To feel the cold and the heat, the fullness and emptiness, the tiredness and vitality, the dry and the wet, the hunger and the satisfaction, the playfulness and the seriousness, the clean and the dirty, the fast and the slow.
All this rainbow of possibilities you gave us, and most importantly, the choice.
To choose where and how to play with this infinite instrument of melodies. To choose where to place all of this energy of life.
LOVING MY BODY / לאהוב את גופי / AMAR MI CUERPO
I love you, and loving you is loving my body. Listening to you is letting my body guide me.
My womb is yours, your pain is mine.
Your rain is my tears, and my pleasure is your rainbow in the waterfall.
My insight is your eagle, and your forest is where my fairy comes to life.
My heart songs are your whales, and your tigers are my raw wildness.
Your lion is my unbreakable spirit, and the spark in my eyes is your lightning.
Your birds are my freedom, and your dolphins are my joy.
Your snakes are my transformation, shedding old skin and giving birth to the new.
Your magma is the fire of truth, burning from within me.
Your baby turtle is my vulnerability, and your jaguar is my fierceness.
Your seal is my curiosity, and my journey is your wind.
Your freezing waters are my initiation, and my victory is your wide, hot boulder.
Your mountains are my challenges, and your grass is my rest.
Your rocks are my firm mat, and your sands are my soft cushion.
Your hummingbird, drinking nectar from the flower, is my naked body merging with your water.
Your dune is where my sweet child comes to play.
Your wolf’s howl is my deepest prayer and yearning for change.
Your cat’s purr is my life and absolute YES.
My hips, liberated to express themselves freely for the sake of living, rather than seducing,
are your animals breaking free from human cages, returning to your arms and open spaces.
Your sea is where I meet my mermaid, and the depths of your ocean bring me together with my own.
In your waters, I can die and be reborn again.
I can let go and see my true self clearly.
Your waters reflect who I am beneath all of society’s conditions, rules, systems, and habits.
Beneath the ego, the identity, the story.
They reveal the core, the heart that has always been and always will be.
Your waters purify my soul, reminding me what it feels like to be alive. Penetrating my muscles and awakening my bones.
In your waters, the hustle no longer exists.
An unbelievably precious serenity, calling me back again and again.
Under your waters, all the senses shift.
Sight transforms, and the breath becomes conscious, full, and measured with care.
Slow is the rhythm, and silence is the language.
The music of your waves and rivers soothes my entire being.
Your waters make me dance, caressing my body with your hands.
Hands of love, power, wisdom, and healing.
Thank you for being here without judgment, only love.
When I shout, sigh, and feel defeated.
When I laugh, giggle, and play.
When I’m strong and when I’m weak.
When I cry and when I sing.
When I’m at peace, and when I’m confused in fog.
When I’m in my dark and in my light.
You are there, guiding, cleaning, clearing, soaking everything you get, and transforming it again and again. What a power.
Thank you for reminding me of my rhythm, my cycle, my winds.
Thank you for reminding me how incredibly powerful, wild, and infinite the woman is, both unbelievably soft, sensitive, and gentle. So receptive and so generous. Always changing, transmuting, evolving.
Thank you for making me smile in amazement and laugh in joy.
For my blood in my veins to be full of love cells, dancing and asking for more.
Thank you for calling me, for showing me, for recharging me, for aligning me, for expanding me, for being.
Thank you for your fruits, which nurture me with so much sweetness, juiciness, and deliciousness.
For your cacao, which opens my heart with such deep love and satisfaction.
Thank you for this sacred, magical journey.
Thank you for bringing strong women into my life; together, we are overcoming the wound of the witch.
Thank you for the unknown, which makes everything so exciting.
Thank you for helping me let go of all the extra luggage.
Thank you for showing me that there are endless ways, languages, sounds, and possibilities , to communicate.
Thank you for making me uncomfortable so that I will find you again and again.
Thank you for showing me how everything is love and sensuality, with strong and clear boundaries.
Thank you for showing me there is nothing to gain or earn but my own self.
Thank you for telling me I’m beautiful in all of my forms.
Thank you for showing me my body knows better than logic.
You are the biggest mirror, the purest reflection of…
Thank you for showing me through your river, which carves its curvy path through rocks and mountains,
patiently, wisely, and consistently, that it was never about going against someone else’s flow,
or with someone else’s current,
but simply about flowing with my own.
Through every amazing, strange, and bizarre living being, you show me that there is a place for everyone in this world, to express themselves and exist in their own unique way. Your manifestations are so versatile, fascinating, and absolutely genius. They remind me how much we need all the different species, colors, and forms of expression for the world to be whole and balanced. That is where the endless beauty, wonder, and fun come from.
Through your tangled jungle, you show me that too much information can hide the light (even though it can be fascinating in the dark).
Through the cracked and broken rocks, which are no less beautiful than the smooth ones, on the contrary,
through the wrinkles in your trees, you show me their wisdom, and through the cracked and broken stones, that water can flow inside only hearts which have been broken.
Through your endless variety, I see the infinity of possibilities that exist within me.
Through our footprints in the sand, you show me how temporary we are here.
Through your unpredictable, surprising spirit, you show me life is constant change.
Through your perfect chaos, I accept mine.
Through your mushrooms, you show me that the sh*t is the fertile soil for the greatest magic.
Through your grey clouds, you show me how to surrender to sadness, and the patience to know and trust that the sun will come back.
Through your polluted water, you show me how our minds and bodies are toxified by excessive information, fears, and manipulations.
Through your pure and fresh water, you show me that by connecting to the source, to the fountain, we can reach the truth and remember (it’s always accessible to us).
Through your sacred waterfall, flowing so powerfully after long months without rain, you show me the unlimited, infinite abundance within us.
(Through flies and mosquitoes, you also show me that you make mistakes, JK:)
The more I connect with you,
the harder it is to walk away.
It feels too painful to go back to the loud, stressful concrete land, covered with artificial smells, looks, and behaviors, bleeding pain, and disconnection. Saying goodbye to the harmony of sleeping under the stars, bathing in the water of the river, listening to the birds, and talking with the trees.
Sometimes I’m not sure I can cut the umbilical cord from you again. I want to return to your forever-nurturing space, full of peace, love, and harmony. Where everything is right, in its authentic, pure expression of creation, it feels like I could stay there forever.
But I know, each time I return from your arms, I’m more myself. Stronger and softer. Sharper, cleaner. And this is my time to apply all that you have taught and given me: how to love myself, how I’m beautiful in all of my manifestations.
So I do it, because I need it.
In my strong legs, I feel supported and held, like your firm, warm rocks.
With my hands of love, I nourish my body.
With softness, I honor the delicate parts, like your sands: my breasts, my lips, my skin.
With strength, I honor the deeper parts, like your woods: the muscles of my arms, my skull, my feet.
I love myself the way you taught me to love.
And only then, only then, can I truly give love to the world.
I’m holding my right hand to hold my left hand firmly. My masculine side holds my feminine side when she overflows with emotions and needs to let it all out.
As you are surviving any tsunami, storm, or earthquake, I learn to believe and find my foundation, which cannot be broken by those storms, only to transform again and again.
Thank you for showing me it was never about achieving, but rather being.
I dissolve into oneness.
Thank you for showing us how we are all mirrors. Brothers and sisters. Lovers. Family. Your plants, your animals, your children. We are all one. You show me we are water. You show me that magic is everywhere.
Fairy, sweet, light rainbow power, climber monkey mermaid lion bird love, live love feminine, beautiful singing, dancing, spreading light and love, curious, naughty, playful. Funny, I see through my real lens of self-love and love for the world.
You are melting me with joy.
You are bringing me back home.
You are the spark in my eyes.
You are reminding me who I am each and every time.
With time, it feels different.
The challenges seem possible.
The questions dissolve.
As the answers are you.
You.
With you, I feel so whole and complete, so happy, grounded in my essence, rooted in my being, connected. Centered. I know, accept, and love who I am. Embracing all my unpredictable storms and waves. I remember. I feel safe and protected. I see how abundance lies in simplicity. I feel so rich to be surrounded by your glory.
My body feels so light as you are light.
My spirit feels at home.
My heart is wide open.
My mind is clear and balanced.

You are so fun and playful, so mysterious and fascinating. You are so vast and breathtaking.
You are creativity. You are love in any form and shape. You are a poem. You are the one I can spend endless time with. You are melting my heart. You are MAGIC. קסם Magia. You are life itself. You are the portal. You are divine.
I am honored and grateful to be invited by you to this crazy, beautiful, powerful experience. I’m so curious, can’t wait to see and explore more of who you are and who I am, and how I can create with you and serve you in the best way possible in these crazy times.
I can’t wait dancing in your water, diving to your depths, walking in your forest, drowning in your sands, smelling your flowers, drinking your coconuts, meeting your animals, climbing your rocks, hugging your trees, staring at your beauty, imagining your clouds, inhaling your vibrant greens and mesmerizing turquoise water, talking with your trees, listening to your wind, witnessing your greatness, synchronizing my heartbeat with yours, loving you in a million different ways.
You are my home. You are my hope. You are my womb. You are my temple. You are my body. You are my power. You are my inspiration. You are my purge. You are my passion. You are my adventure. You are my peace. You are my joy. You are my freedom. (You are my vision.) You are my dream. You are my fuel. You are my medicine. You are my teacher. You are my healer.
את ההזנה שלי
You are my WHY
You are so beautiful and pure.
Your health is our health.
Your thriving is the women rising again.
Your protection is the promise of our future.
Your unconscious consumption is ignorance and amnesia.
Your admiration is the knowing.
There is no way to escape; you are the greatest mirror of our society on all levels, and all change will start with you.
May we all learn to listen to you better and love you with more care.
May your fireflies show us the way back home in times of darkness.
May your rivers guide us towards the ocean of love.
May you be treated as the queen of the bees.
I honor you enormously,

I trust you deeply,
I love you with each cell of my body,
I fall in love with you every day,
I am forever captive to your charm.
Yours,
Avishag
P.S. Infinite love and gratitude for the one and only beloved Mother Sun. Nothing would happen without you. You deserve a separate and very warm letter:)
