Nurt Thurs :: June Flowers
It is the month of June, The month of leaves and roses, When pleasant sights salute the eyes and pleasant scents the noses.

Nurt Thurs :: Nourishment
When you recover or discover something that nourishes your soul and brings joy, care enough about yourself to make room for it in your life.

Moments of calm
- Early mornings, the time between the night and the light
- Flowers, always flowers
- A cup of coffee in my hands conducting the warmth through my body
- The smell of soil and rain in the air
- Birds songs
- A rabbit wondering around
- The breeze playing with my hair
Have a great weekend!
Namaste
I’ve just read a lovely poem about calm in chaos by Judei Takali here. It’s exactly my feeling right now. I’ve been feeling exhausted, without a place to ground and to be myself. Yesterday was a lovely day, I was in my garden and these dandelions called my attention. When I looked at them, I saw the Buddha statue, in there, solid and peaceful, not because it is a statue, but the feeling that comes from it and what it represents. Nothing can go inside it and disturb its peace. I though I can reach this state of peace too, this calm that nothing can disturb. I know that my words sound crazy, but this is my feeling in the last few hours.
I’m going to make space to ground and to feel solid, and don’t let anything enter my being if it will not make me calm.
I’ll invest in myself and I’ve already started it. I’m joining Michelle GD in her Just5Things course that starts tomorrow. Few minutes per day, making lists, and it will be the space to work on my ground and calm project. Like everything in life, we need practice and commitment, we can’t just say, ok, I’ll do this and that, everything needs work and discipline.
Nasmate and love your way!
Stay safe!

Simplicity
Hello my friends, hope you are doing well. This time of quarantine is making me reflect on many things. I’ve been up and down in relation to my feelings. Some days of stress, others of calm, others of nothing only going with the flow. I know for sure, is that I’m settling into the new routine of working from home. Sharing the space with my husband, having lots of coffee/tea and popcorn in the afternoons have brightened my day and I’m being more productive than we all day in the office.
The weather is getting more spring-like these days and a run at the closest park is always a moment of joy. Now is the season of tulips, and they are everywhere. I never get tired of taking photos of them.
Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.
Lao Tzu

Nurt Thurs – Super Moon
The moon will guide you through the night with her brightness,
but she will always dwell in the darkness, in order to be seen.

Nurt Thurs – Shadows
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.

Sunday Stills :: Planet Earth
This week we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. During breakfast, I was thinking about which photo I should post today as a celebration. The answer was on my breakfast table!
Blueberry and coffee! I felt immense gratitude to the Earth for providing us with such wonderful fuel. Blueberry and all the fruits loaded with vitamins and fibres, coffee beans full of energy, and many other delicious and nutritious nourishment for our body and soul.
