ARTIST & SINGER
There’s always a little spot on my morning walk where I have to stop and take photos. I’m in love with gum blossoms, even when they are incubating these divine flowers. But it’s like the flowers knew that we all needed a bit of cheering up after the past 3 months of catastrophic fires, extreme heat and drought here in Australia. These particular gums have just exploded into flower and the rainbow lorikeets are rejoicing!
“It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.” C.S Lewis
This makes so much sense to me…for it is when my mind is still and I am fully present I can hear the callings of my soul. In the last few months I have been intentionally setting times aside and silencing the outer distractions of life so that I can access my intuition while painting and journaling.
Having a little ritual has really helped this…
I stopped making new year’s resolutions a few years ago, I now set intentions because I find that these resonate more with my soul. This year I’ve made an intention to ‘live lighter’. Although there is a letting go of material possessions that no longer spark joy, the intention is more to live lighter emotionally.
