backyard mindfulness
leaves slowly falling down
dancing with the fresh breeze
taking their time to let go
teaching us that it’s ok
there is time for everything
and no need to hold to
what doesn’t serve us anymore
cinnamon
my friend Gina is the guest hosting at dVerse Poetics this week. her prompt is ‘comfort smells’.
i love cinnamon scent! it brings me a sense of comfort and security, takes me back to lovely memories: a warm kitchen, sweets been baked, a cup of tea and family gathering around the table in winter nights. nowadays i add cinnamon is almost everything i bake, and i love to add a cinnamon stick to my cup of tea and to my coffee while brewing.
so, here is my take to the prompt.
cinnamon
firewood burning
stars illuminating the sky
cinnamon
moonlight bathing my skin
magic and power
cinnamon
forest whispering my name
i’m safe
i’m at home
cinnamon

silence. walking and observing. it’s early morning, the dawn has just kissed goodbye, the sun is hiding behind the clouds. it’s cold, i’ve my hands in my pockets, only out for few seconds to snap this beauty. it’s worth each second. this moment is mine.

Another day
Self-indulgent
Selling mistery
In our dreams every night
Onward we look for it
Nonetheless, it is inside us

new or old
all of them leave paths
in our mind
new feelings
new discoveries
new wishes

“There is no time for cut-and-dried monotony. There is time for work. And time for love. That leaves no other time.”
notebook, pen, magazines clips, glue… doing what i want and i need to keep my mind busy. grateful to be able to play with this stuff without hurry, just enjoying and letting go.
have a lovely day and don’t forget to make time for yourself!

quiet in my life :: yoga, meditation, and journaling early in the morning. this is my ‘me time’. love to wake up early and to know that for an hour or so i’ll not be disturbed. some days i get lazy and stay in the bed but most of the time i get up and start my day being positive.
my friend Delicia is creating personal meditations, you can check out here. she has lovely meditations in there and i asked her to create a personal meditation for me. she knows me well and i trusted that she’d pinpoint all my needs in the meditation.
i received my meditation last week, love it! the meditation is grounding, but at the same time makes me feel light and free. i’m practicing it every day since them and i feel that unpleasant thoughts are getting weaker and i’ve more room for creativity in my mind. isn’t it great!
my ‘me time’ makes me a better person to others, but the most important makes me a better person to myself.
hugs,
E.
