My neighbours on the other hill who use a very loud machine to 'clean' the property of any unwanted plant, and are super committed to control nature are still a challenge for me to just let it be. Not concentrating on it. Not reacting but stopping. Diving into silence.
As a child i was mesmerised by the sky and the stars. Later i had many thoughts and questions about where i come from and why i'm here on earth.
Nowadays i'm still mesmerised by the sky and the stars. But the thoughts are different and the questions are no more. Landed, in a way.
There's a new exploration on Being land by EaBadea. A story that started with a voice recording starring the Birch Tree, slowly developing over time. i hope you will find a cozy spot for this long sharing, taking your time.

Enjoying peace and tranquility in a nearby nature area, the Ria Formosa. It's always easy for me to relax, feel connected and nourished when being there. The vibration of the salt water that is constantly moving, the birds, the plants, all is harmonious and pure.
As i'm in a kind of dark place right now due to the dissapearance of my beloved cat companion i was remembered once again that there are many hooking on's especially emotionally and mentally. What is to do? Flooding, a lot of flooding.
Water and fire are very present in my life. i use fire to cook and warm my space since decades. And in recent times i get my drinking water from a source and live near the ocean. But gold and money, uh. i need to make peace with that. i'll see what unfolds doing the washing.
Stones and especially gem stones attracted me a long time. i had many many of them. i still have some left like this Kyanite. A gorgeous stone that reminds me of heaven, water, stars, meteorites, clarity and guidance. So it invited me to use it for my SIR 'suwa' drawing.
Oh yes, the war within can show up in many forms. i've experienced one of them the last week as i visited my very unhealthy mother who lost the war and is eaten up alive by fear and worry. A ghost in a shell. It was her choice. Gladly i walk a different path.
Watching Misogi, oh i felt the pure icyness of the water. Remembering lying in a cold mountain stream, so fresh, so alive, the whole body prickling but so relaxed in my depth. Oh, this was pure joy. The sea is calling me.
