Hello dear wanderer
How are you?
I've not long come back to the world of the city. Well in fact a week ago but it's taken a while to 'be' back.
You see I've just spent a week in 'Narnia'. I've even been reading about adventures of the Moomins and channelling Tove Jansson!
There were 2 days where I didn't see or speak to any other human being and the only time I used my voice was when I was joyfully singing along to the radio.
I asked myself the day I came home and felt overwhelmed by the heat, the noise and the light-
What do you mean the rest of my days aren't going to be just like that!?
I could have stayed there longer but I've got lots to do and a new collection of things to explore now that I've had my soul refreshed a little. I am back to share some of my creativity with you.
Here
Bright cold days and
ice inside stars,
Glistening moon crescent
in present breath,
Slow nurtured soul.
Home, solo.
Capable courage
and kindness,
takes earth footsteps
one at a time.
Radio wiggles and laughs
light flickers.
Writing at night of the glory of the day,
showing up to create.
Fresh creativity grows
by letting go
and doing something.
Chopping wood and
conversations with Robin,
while the sun sits by the shiny crackle edged river.
Light of blue and gold
depth of beauty
heartbeat slowed.
Ears dancing in silence
focused and whole.
Grief of leaving, saying goodbye
gratitude to all abounds.
For the trees and the ground
the sky and snow
to the patterns left behind
and moments held in memory.
I will be sharing more of my creative explorations and learnings from my retreat time in the Cairngorms over the coming weeks and months.
