Another magical sight


The Moth, The Mountains, The Rivers

Who can guess the luna’s sadness who lives so briefly? Who can guess the impatience of stone longing to be ground down, to be part again of something livelier? Who can imagine in what
heaviness the rivers remember their original clarity?

Strange questions, yet I have spent worthwhile time with them. And I suggest them to you also, that your spirit grow in curiosity, that your life be richer than it is, that you bow to the earth as you feel how it actually is, that we- so cleaver, and ambitious, and selfish, and unrestrained- are only one design of the moving, the vivacious many.

Diving

The dance of hesitation and doubt vs the power of alignment…this is what I’ve learned through this process.

What am I talking about?? Painting and chaos and alignment. That’s what I’m talking about. .. Still unclear for me too;)

From an inspired background, I went from mistakes (I know Flora Bowley, there are no such things) to catastrophe !! I had to let it go, nothing could be done.

And then, after listening to a beautiful and inspiring documentary about Marion Woodman, I simply re-aligned myself. Simply! …How? I’m not sure but here’s some results!

Powerful

“Love is the real power. It’s the energy that cherishes. The more you work with that energy, the more you will see how people respond naturally to it, and the more you will want to use it. It brings out your creativity, and helps everyone around you flower. Your children, the people you work with–everyone blooms.”

A walk in the park

One hour away from Darwin, you can find many little conservation nature park. We visited the Fogg Dam park today.

The dam was closed for walking due to a large salty in the area!

Well…I didn’t see the sign initially so I did get out of the car and was submerged by those beautiful lotus flowers.. What an inspiration..

One Year

One year of blogging!! what an amazing year.. Thank you all… This blog has been good for me… It has challenged my thinking, fed my creativity, and pushed me to be braver…

Here is a TED video from the marvelous Ken Robinson

and heard in another TED Talks from Tim Brown ‘…We fear the judgment of our peers and we are embarrassed to share our ideas…’

The lesson, after a year of blogging… S h a k e  the fear of judgment, let go the embarrassment, Be BRAVE and DARE GREATLY, stop comparing yourself, J u m p …because it is so much F U N . . .

seen on the gorgeous blog of the even more gorgeous Jessica Swift…another inspiring woman!http://www.jessicaswift.com/_blog/treasuring

Surrender

Zero Circle

Be helpless, dumbfounded,
Unable to say yes or no.
Then a stretcher will come from grace
to gather us up.

We are too dull-eyed to see that beauty.
If we say we can, we’re lying.
If we say No, we don’t see it,
That No will behead us
And shut tight our window onto spirit.

So let us rather not be sure of anything,
Beside ourselves, and only that, so
Miraculous beings come running to help.
Crazed, lying in a zero circle, mute,
We shall be saying finally,
With tremendous eloquence, Lead us.
When we have totally surrendered to that beauty,
We shall be a mighty kindness.
