We all got in the car this week. We drove to the lake. Spaciousness was the feeling when we got there. Breathe in, breathe out. The blue immensity filled my soul with calm and joy. It was a priceless ride for all the beautiful moments spent in there 💙
Wishing you a lovely weekend!
The moon will guide you through the night with her brightness,
but she will always dwell in the darkness, in order to be seen.

Abundance of spring Letting go of the self-doubt Bringing dreams afloat
Hello! How are you doing? Hope you are doing well. The weekend was lovely with lots of gardening and cooking. Gardening is food for the soul and cooking food for body, isn’t it a good combo?
Wishing you a great and safe week ahead!
We planted this cherry tree in our backyard a few years back. She was 2 feet tall, a say a baby tree. Now she’s maybe 8 feet tall and she is blooming!
I say ‘she’ because to me all the trees are female. They are fertile, they give flowers and fruits, they are home for birds and other animals. They are always ready to give security and love. Oh! if you don’t know yet, I’m a tree hugger too!
Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food, and medicine to the soul.

Wishing a wonderful May to you! Stay safe!
Expression is the essence of thought.
Tony Calderone
We all need fresh air from time to time, to open up our mind and let our feelings surface. It’s like that say: Thinking outside the box!
Expression is the mystery of beauty.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton
There are so many rules and directions to be followed for each task at any moment. We get lost in the middle of them. Where is the creativity in all of this?
To express one’s inner self so that others can understand you, is art. If your expressions are elevated and beautiful, it is good art.

Past Present The plain truth Moment between Waiting for a sign Tears turned out diamonds In the middle of the fog She knows, the mirror does not lie Scars are embroidered into laces The exhausting cries now sound like a valse
I’ve chosen the theme for this week’s Tanka Tuesday Challenge: The day after. With many things going on in this world right now, that I thought we should look ahead a little bit and maybe see some light.
You can’t use up creativity.
The more you use, the more you have.

Have a great week and remember to be creative!
This week Tanka Tuesday challenge’s prompt is a photo prompt. I soon as I saw this photo I had the feeling of isolation, being lost in the middle of the forest. When I looked closer at it, I saw the girl had a certain contentment in her expression, it’s like she had chosen to be there, she was fine and protected by the tree in the background.
Carried away to another dimension Leaving behind all the struggling and oppression She is free and protected now Breathing deeply and staring ahead Solitude won't be dreaded
The eye is always caught by light, but shadows have more to say.
Gregory Maguire
Reading between the lines, seeing behind the expressions, listening to my intuition! As I get older I’m learning to see the truth, that most of the time is hidden by smiles, nice words, misplaced acts.
