Everything has a secret soul, which is silent more often than it speaks.” ~ Wassily Kandinsky
It is that silence of nature that inspires me.
Have you noticed? The sounds of wind, winged and four-legged creatures, water or dry leaves swirling and rustling in the soft air. A whispered earth invitation to simply BE.
Breathe deeply. Go outside. And make space for your body and being. The earth will take you on a journey of color and sound. And isn't she so creative, our beautiful planet, with all kinds of creatures big and small, tall trees, tiny ferns and seeds deeply hidden in their cocoon?
Then, shift your vision. A fallen tree will turn into a host for life. A thick layer of ice on a lake will turn into a miracle of ingenious patterns and shades of greys, blues and purples. Dry flower stalks turn into space-holders for spring's renewed cycle.
And so as we change our vision, we change. We become a host for life, a miracle of ingenious patterns and a space-holder for spring.
Much gratitude,
Bettina
