My Guru and secret of Oyster
I have to share with you e-mail what I got from my friend, ex colleague and as I call him My Guru. From his mail you will realize why I call him Guru… I share this with you because I was deeply touched … I wish you all to have in your life such a person.
He is few years older than me, he has grey hair and beard, he smokes a pipe, he has wonderful wife and daughter and he is wonderful, or better to say remarkable and wisdom person. Like Susan said in one comment: “People come to your life either for a reason, a season or a lifetime” My Guru is for sure, for a lifetime and I am grateful to God for that.
I sent him few days ago a mail about things what I am doing.
He replays with his warm words, incredible support and of course with wisdom what every real Guru has. His mail is real support.
I tried to translate his mail the best what I can…so sorry in advance for some mistakes.
“Dear Gagi (that is my nickname and one day I will explain why I called this blog Ellad2)
I simply felt a lot of joy when I realized that the letter arrived from afar. Your Guru is already thought that he is kicked off. I read carefully your mail and I looked at your e-store with jewels and I realized that in all that twinkling something nice, which you are maybe not aware by yourself. That’s why I did not answer immediately, because I needed a little bit time to shape my thoughts. Now I have a clearer picture of what is going on with you, and I will be happy to share that with you.
First, a strong impression is that finally you have the necessary time to peer a little bit into your soul, to visit the places for which you did not know that even exist.
And what had happened when light came in after you? Like you opened a shell of real oyster and discovered her secret.
Hidden talents that each of us has for something, are like a jealously guarded secret of oysters in the blue depths, and more than that, they are draw tight by shell. It belongs only to the brave who have enough courage to dive deep, ready to stay shortly even without the breath, because of the beauty which they hope to see and which they foresee.
The lightness and ecstasy with which you are connecting beads in simple and elegant harmonious bracelets speak in favor of it: that your talents, who knows since when, are yours, and that they had connected some 15 winters in deep sleep, like the polar bears…
Your courage and determination to follow your heart brought to the emotional part of your personality a decisive supremacy over the rational and calculated. This is an environment in which flourishes inner beauty, in which dormant talents simply wake up and race, which one will go out first from the cave, and play on the sun illuminated meadow, full of odoriferous and gently flowers.
Dream big dreams, but stay awake on this meadow, walk carefully on tiptoe watching out not to step of some flower. Commit yourself to internal impulses and create as you feel it has to be, no matter how your environment reacts on that. Only like that, the purity of your emotions will remain untouched and authentic.
I know that you enjoy very much while you are beading, that time stops, and in the moments when you become aware of silent talk with yourself, you come to the conclusion that you are one very nice company, full of pleasant surprises.
And remember one thing; it says you your Guru, the force what runs you to create, is the same one that forced Michelangelo to paint his walls and canvases, to break the marble with a hammer, Leonardo to smiling to mankind for centuries, Chopin to chasing mice on his piano and many others…
The only difference is that THEY STARTED BEFORE YOU AND THEY WERE CLEVERER THAN YOU TO CHOOSE TO WHAT THINGS THEY WILL DEDICATE THEMSELVES.
You have opened your first oysters and you have found pearls, and that fever will not leave you easily. I believe that everything what you reach will be beautiful, successful and unique.
I will be your silent support in everything what you are doing.
I kissed my women and I read them your mail.
I wish you calm sea…
YP Guru

How lovely. May we all have such teachers and mentors in our lives.
Creativity is a joy in and of itself, but to have someone actively support your creativity is sublime happiness.
Congratulations for having such a person in your life. It speaks as well of you as it does your mentor/guru.
