Hi everyone, wherever you may be,
I hope that everyone is doing well in the midst of all the uncertainty that swirls around us on planet earth these days.
At the end of the day, we all have so much to be grateful for. Here is my list of 10 for today:
*whatever created me and gave me life
* my beautiful daughter
* being alive
* being healthy
* having a home
* my fiends
* my brain
* my well functioning faculty
* coffee
* art being art and existing in this world
What are you grateful for today?
Do you have time periods when your dreams become vivid , alive and filled with color?
I am currently having those type last of dreams and they leave me wondering about where we actually go in our dreams and what part of our faculties is actually active?
There are so many levels of dreams that you can detect and so many different kinds, it would take a lifetime of research to get inside of this mystery.
Do you dream in color?
Hi again, I almost forgot how fast projects like this go when you start them and how merciless time is…
How much of your childhood do you remember? For me it is short salient moments of intense emotion, some life changing moments that left permanent scars, or pleasant memories like the smell of my swimsuit when my mother took it out of storage for the first trip to the beach…
Why are we designed to forget? It could have been easily tweaked that we remember everything, couldn’t it have been? I do understand the need to forget pain, but what about everything else?
And most importantly, if you do believe that this is not your first life, then why do we arrive here empty?
At my age you sometimes forget what you’ve set about to do moments ago, so this memory thing needs some thorough investigation, don’t you think?
Good day,
I don’t think I have ever used the term ‘good day’ ever before. So here it is, good day to you.
I am still caring for my quarantined child on day 5, trying to come up with creative meals and snacks, getting used to washing my hands 25 times a day, running down my ‘to do’ list to remain sane and doing my best not to get infected with covid.
As I do all this my mind wander to thoughts about life, our state of the world, the planet, and as always, the future.
I wonder how much of what the future is trying to tell us goes unheard, undelivered and just plain missed. How do we tune to what is trying to speak to us? No matter how skeptical you may be, you know that sometimes, somehow, something is trying to tell you things, right?
Hoping ti have a better receiving system and wishing you a wonderful day.
Write you tomorrow!
Good Morning,
So for those of us who think we are sitting at home or standing still, ponder this:
Our planet is spinning around its axis at a speed of 1000 miles/ hour
It is also rotating around the sun at a speed of 67,000 miles/ hour
and our Milky Way is spinning around at a speed of 130miles/SECOND or 1.3 million miles/ hour!!!
And you, me, and the neighbour’s cat can stand still and balance on one foot (well not the cat) !
Good Morning,
I have learned throughout my life to create bubbles to exist in when needed. These bubbles are unseen but they are as real as anything else that you may conceive as tangible.
In your bubble you can permit only thoughts that want to have, feelings that you consider suitable at that moment and frequencies that are enhancing to your process. The bubble is not automatically generated but takes years of work and determination. It also acts as a shield that keeps unwanted intrusions into your internal process, and when this works, it’s phenomenal.
Today is one of those days that I need my bubble, so I will be busily generating it.
I wish you all a peaceful weekend, full of color, beauty, health and tons and inspiration. I have been at my animation classes since 4:30 am and learning has never felt better.
Good Morning,
Have you ever felt the need to back things off when so much tries to claim your time, attention and energy? That is the time to use the power of ‘NO’.
So many of us find it very difficult to say no, maybe in fear of upsetting someone, the worry of not being liked, not living up to someone’s expectations or thinking simply that being a good person dictates saying yes. It doesn’t.
At certain times in my life and when it is needed, I like to imagine a portcullis dropping in front of me to offer me a space to be, to think, to gain clarity and to feel a sense of containment.
Our first responsibility is to ourselves and our own wellbeing because if we are crowded and overwhelmed, we can only make clouded decision.
I wish you a clear day filled with inspiration and joy.
Good Morning,
Today my thoughts wander around the subject of intactness. What does it mean to be intact? How vulnerable do we allow ourselves to be with the onset of change? How does one become intact? Is it a permanent state or something we need to keep working towards in our personal development?
All these ponders take be back to the importance of reconnecting to the very basics, like the truth and meaning of life. Why are we here? What are we meant to be doing? What are we supposed to be collecting in our lives? And what do we leave behind as a legacy?
One thing is for sure: we are born alone and we die alone, so relationships matter and clean human interaction is vital during our short lives here on this unbelievably unbalanced planet.
Good Morning,
I am back in Germany getting readjusted to my routine and processing the 13 day journey I just had in the Emirates. Before it blurs into the halls of my memory, I thought to list 9 words that I would choose to describe the trip and my experiences. It’s a challenge to do this live here as I write the blog, so here goes.
1. Art
2. Sister
3. Reconnected
4. Warmth
5. Innovation
6. Future
7. Overwhelming
8. Tradition
9. Otherworldly
Luckily my camera will keep so much of this extraordinary experience alive. That’s another reason I love photography.
Good Morning,
It’s sunny and clear again here in Dubai after a few days of storms and dusty air. It actually rained sand here, something I witnessed for the very first time.
Today I am waking up with the contemplation of clarity. We seek it in all things, don’t we? And these days can be very foggy with the constant onslaught of impressions from the media, screens, noise pollution and all that we have to deal with in our busy lives. Clarity becomes a rare luxury.
I chose these images that I took yesterday at the Swiss Pavilion at Dubai expo. They simulated fog that slowly grew lesser as you ascended the mountains to finally see clearly at the top. I loved the feeling and symbolism of that experience.
Wishing us all clarity of mind as we rush into this new year.
