“Happily we bask in this warm September sun, which illuminates all creatures.”
Henry David Thoreau

ups and downs

the beautiful photo i took this morning, the leaves changing colours and the blue moon up there
the darkness in my mind, where regrets don’t leave me alone
cicadas buzzing
the sun warming my skin
the wind caressing my hair
my thoughts taking me away from here, from this moment
a new season starts, releasing the past and opening new gates for the future
the present is what matters

it’s holiday here, i’m catching up with some writing in my deck. please, tell me one beautiful thing you are doing today.

Stand tall

Don't be afraid
Stand tall, go ahead
The world is yours

A micro poem for this beautiful image. I saw power and freedom when I looked at it. Now I have a question for you: Which of them is giving this advice to the other? The giraffe or the lady?

spring has sprung

Spring is finally here on my side of the world. Flowers, rain, fresh rain, birds, Earth fragrance. Nature is having a party loaded with beauty.

The first flowers in my garden are tulips, my favourite spring flowers.

The public gardens in my neighbourhood have lots of them, each one prettier than the other. It’s such a blessing for my eyes and soul to look at them, stop and take a photo (or more than one). These few minutes of pleasure are like meditation.

A happy new week to you!

A kind of Monday

I’m wondering how much control we have over our days. One phone call has the power of changing everything. Well, we need to be ready to take a detour to keep things under control.

this corner in my garden is where i recharge and reset, where i go to find myself in moments of turbulence, when i don’t know which is the path to follow and when the past is talking loud and i want to silence it.

have a peaceful week!

On my way

Sometimes a feather just pops up on our way!

Have a great week everyone!

Square Perspectives

A little bit of colour!

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!

Monday musings

Finally, I’m getting my journaling mojo back. Few scribbles here and there, but I’m writing much more now than I’d done in the last few months.

I’ve been journaling, almost every day, since 2013. This year I had my first long break of it, I can say a forced break. I’m so glad I hadn’t lost my journaling practice forever. It is part of my morning routine, and my day is always better when I put down a few or lots of words on the paper.

This is my tiny red Moleskine, 5 x 7 inches. I’m using it mainly for collage, and sometimes acrylic painting. The pages are thick enough so the painting doesn’t leak to the back page.

Today I added few magazine clips, words and the moon cycle to these pages. I’m pretty happy with the result. The words and the moon cycle are from my Right Brain Planner kit.

Have a great week!
