oh butt mango

wishing you a sweet weekend

started the day with meditation and tea. now no plans, lots of time and a bit of creativity.  will make a good day i believe. love and hugs♥

a strange collection

a break from the dust to have an ice coffee, cement floating like lava and pipes and bars on a factory wall. that is what i treat you with today. before rushing slowly to town and all the things that needs to be done. ♥

while waking up

 

new day, new week. i have a sleeping baby on my back and and a cloud of thoughts around and inside my head. dreaming about snakes and a run down house. drinking earl grey with milk and sugar (gone is the morning coffee tradition) and writing imaginary letters. shall i post them? have a good one! and check out this:

a song

for one of those days. here it is.

roadtripping

  

a trip to the desert.

and a great list i got from a friend:

Here are the top 10 ways people give away their power:
1. Asking others what they should do.
2. Thinking God decides who gets what.
3. Worrying about how their dream will come true.
4. Thinking they have dues to pay.
5. Attaching to unimportant details and outcomes.
6. Believing in soul mates.
7. Thinking karma or spiritual contracts are absolute.
8. Fear of anything, especially falling in love.
9. Waiting for their ducks to line up before acting.
10. Choosing to be unhappy.

temporary home

  

a temporary home under the biggest fig tree i have ever seen. in a few weeks from now all those figs will be ripe, and you could eat yourself silly…i had to escape the heat and the sun. listening to the creek and eating watermelon. spending most of the time naked, not a soul around but perhaps a few wild boars. reading ‘the art of fermentation’ and getting inspired to make mead. falling asleep at sunset and waking up with the first singing birds.

bliss♥

4xfunky ladies

 

here some snapshots of people i saw on the streets, funky looking ladies doing this and that. how fascinating it is to observe people and to fantasize about who they are and what they are busy with in life. as a matter of fact, i enjoy it so much, that it was a real challenge for me to focus on myself in the vipassana retreat, and maybe even more so when there is no verbal communication, your mind can go wild with imagination and even just through glances we tend to communicate more than we are aware of.

how is summer treating you out there?

hey hello

getting back from silence and i still have very few words to outer. but i will share this quote from william blake instead:

‘to see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower

to hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour’

i might get back to you on thoughts and feelings from the vipassana at another stage. love and hugs so long.

the silent week

starts about now…any moment now… i will go for a silent retreat, and the blog will be quiet. i hope to see you back here and out there soon! take care, be well, enjoy and much love. ♥
