Reconnecting to your inner child

I went for a walk in the forest near where I live this morning. It was a jog turned walk turned sitting on a log & contemplating life. It is a wonderful forest. This particular day it was so full of life and buzzing with fairy-tale magic that it would not feel amiss placed in…

Hello

I haven't written here in a long long time. Years, really. Life has changed so much since I ceased to write here. So why am I writing again? I don't really know. Just felt like I wanted to. Sometimes you sit in your bed in the morning, after a night of little to no sleep,…

SAVED

This picture means so much to me, it’s hard to explain to you. The reason why it means so much is that it was taken in the summer of the year 2014, during the week I spent on a retreat where for the first time in a year I emerged from the darkness that had…

You have found your roots and your blossoms. You have found your potential to be a wonderful creature and a wonderful artist, more splendid…

coincidence

Sometimes I wonder Are there really such things as coincidences? Like when you meet someone familiar In an unexpected place And they make you smile And lift the shadow off your face  If only just for a little while  Can you really call that a coincidence?  I wouldn't  I'd call it a reminder That you…

Choices

86400 seconds. 1440 minutes. That's how many moments, how many new chances each of us gets in a day. To make a choice. To start something new or to keep on doing what we're already doing. *** I've been thinking a lot about how we use our time. I've been bed-bound with some dreadful virus…
