A reminder for days when one feels stuck. You might not be aware of your growth yet, but it is real and happening. Stand tall and proud, you still have flowers to offer and receive.
Woman and otherness. She is learning to trust and love these untamed parts of herself that she is yet to discover and love. In the meantime, she guards and protects them with tenderness.
Woman and vulnerability. She is learning to trust and lean into the vulnerable parts of her psyche. She is still on her guard and cautiously and carefully reveals them.
She hugs and protects them with tenderness.
Amidst the turmoil and uncertainty of life, she is anchored in her center. She knows that as long she stays that way, she is safe to see out the storm.
Madame is a beautiful wealthy woman. She is well read and well traveled. Her garden features a cascade that rivals the world best botanical gardens. She can not fathom a different lifestyle than what she’s used to. Of course, she can, she was not born into money, but sometimes, she really can’t.
All gold, flowing.
My own brain is to me the most unaccountable of machinery…
When you consider things like the stars, our affairs don’t seem to matter much…
This is the most exciting moment I have ever known. I feel a thousand capacities spring up in me..”
-Virginia Woolf, The Waves
Its the first week of the new year. She is looking back at her last year’s successes and wondering if she can top that. It never seems to end. She is supposed to keep going. There is so much more she has yet to discover, but how is she going to go about that?
For the days where a simple and random act turns our confusion upside down and we can glimpse the growth that’s been happening all this time, within us, beneath the surface.
For the days where chaos turns into beauty and gives us hope.
Her greatest gift from life
all innocence and mischievous
all giving and demanding
all fierce and delicate
all love and tenderness.
A powerful bond.
A promise from mother nature to her guardian: ”You are safe to bloom.”
A promise from the guardian to mother nature: ”You are safe to bloom.”
She’s been filled with doubts lately about her intelligence. She is realizing that knowledge has to constantly be updated. She is afraid she can longer keep up with the world and wonder if she can hold an intelligent conversation anymore.
However, she promises herself to always try, to always expand her mind and skills and conquer these doubts one lesson at a time.
She is trusting the process. She is learning to be in the present and seeing each moment out and each moment in as it presents itself. She is learning to trust the seed to germ for the flowers to bloom. She is at ease with the process.
Passionate lovers wrapped in moonlight and the enchanting scent of coquelicots.
A secret spot only they know. A love they know is not common. An embrace they wish, would last forever.
