WDYS :: stillness

a moment of breath
colourful, flowing with joy
stillness in the air

October has been a month loaded with challenges for me. Too much to do and so little time as the days get shorter. Hurry and hurry from home to my workplace, and vice versa. Instead of prioritizing my needs, I let them go to open space for everything and everybody else. I’m not young anymore, and in the end, my body pays the price for all the hurry/stress I inflict on myself.

I need to slow down and set up priorities. My mind and body need care, and I’m the only one able to provide it to myself.

Wishing a week full of tiny pockets of joy to you!

Be still

Eugi’s image
on an October day
as the sun lays to sleep
i was dazzled by the golden leaves 
and gingered sky

calm waters reflects the truth
i crush the leaves and twigs
as the birds says their prayers
i crush the leaves and twigs

walking aimless
lost in my dreams
the breeze caresses my hair
and whispers to my ears

what are you searching for?
be still and listen ...
and in that moment
i swear I was infinity

I’m joining Eugi’s Moonwashed weekly prompt, gingered sky, and David’s W3 Deepthy’s lovely prompt: ‘and in that moment i swear we were infinite’.

It’s the first day of autumn here. I wish a wonderful new season to you, autumn or spring, when the Earth will be adorned with colourful leaves or flowers.

October’s Delights

Happy October! A month of pumpkins and candles, hot chocolate and pies, sweaters and boots. A perfect month for self-care and kindness.

There are many wonderful quotes about October, here are few of my favourites.

I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.

L. M. Montgomery

October is the opal month of the year. It is the month of glory, of ripeness. It is the picture-month.

Henry Ward Beecher

My favorite color is October.

October is crisp days and cool nights, a time to curl up around the dancing flames and sink into a good book.

John Sinor

October is a symphony of permanence and change

Bonaro W. Overstreet

Sharing with Nurturing Thursday and October Squares, that it’s all about kindness this month.

october mandala

i love to make mandalas, they represent a connection between mind and soul. this one i made with pieces of paper, i interpret it as a sign that i need to have a strong connection between my feelings. i’m always surprised with the oracle cards that show up to me after an intense soul work, this one, fire, is confirming what the mandala shows, i need to invest more on my passions, do things that make me complete.

well, this is my first post! hope you enjoyed it. i’d love to hear your thoughts and wish wonderful october to you!
