Sunshine, Firewood & Mysterious Paw Prints
Good evening!
I sit here with a warm wool blanket over me and a cup of Yogi tea with a quote that says, "Oneness within is harmony with all." ♥︎ The fire is burning in the old kakelugn, and my cat Leiana is snoring on the couch. The candles are lit and it feels much later than it is. Currently the clock says 18:45.
Shortly after waking up this morning, I sat down and started to edit a photo that I've been wanting to create for a while. You can see the final result in the previous blog post here. After the inspiration hit this morning, I spent about two hours editing and playing around with photos. I had so much fun. The time just flies when I work with things I feel passionate about. And before I knew it, it was noon!
As soon as I remembered the builder saying it was going to rain next week, I immediately jumped from the desk and got started on the wood outside. Lars, the man who delivered the wood, was kind enough to drop off one cubic meter of dry wood. It was time sensitive that this wood was carried indoors. It took me about two hours to move nine blue IKEA bags of wood to my shed. It took longer than expected because I decided to film a little video blog that I can't wait to share with you. I now have two days of video footage to edit and transform into a YouTube video. It might not be until next week because I have an important video project I'm currently working on. It's to help support a local nature action project. I will tell you about this later. Some of you may already have an idea if you have been following me for a while.
Here come some pictures from today. It felt so good to move my body and care for the wood that keeps me warm in my house. All afternoon my heart was filled with gratitude for the local community helping care for my house and prep for winter. All day I had this deep appreciation for the life I've built here so far. It's so simple yet it brings me more joy than any city I've lived in. It gives me the stillness and silence that I need at this time in my life. I continue to be curious about how this new lifestyle will continue to change me. I can feel the shift every day now.
I will take rest this weekend and catch up on some work next week. Have a wonderful weekend! Can't wait to hear what you have been up to ♥︎ LOTS OF LOVE!
I recently came across this song. It's repetitive and meditative. I love it! I feel inspired to play this out loud in the ancient forest when I go to film and take photos in future.
For years I have been fascinated by the Goddess of Freyja. I love embodying Freyja's energy of love and purity. Let's share this listening experience and connect to this energy of love together. It might not surprise you to feel this collective love. I really believe in this since I experience it when I went to the meditation retreat. I believe in my heart we can all uplift and inspire each other here. Calling all artists, nature lovers, and sensitive souls ♥︎
