i love those mustard colored houses. while everyone else is taking a siesta i am documenting the empty streets. and reading this very captivating book. and dreaming about what to eat next. and feeling very solo. sometimes it is quite challenging spending time with yourself…
all alone. me and my lunch. and i am thinking of having ice cream for dinner. ice cream and prosecco. sometimes decadent is the only right thing to be.
some tours we hardly have any time to notice where we are but spend most of our time at the airport, in the hotel and in the theater. and other tours we are lucky to be in a beautiful place with enough spare time on our hand to explore and enjoy. like we do on this tour.
there is so much joy connected with italy for me. the joy of food. of nature. of listening to the language. and picture nr 5 is the view from the dressing room in the theater. wow, almost too good to be true!
sometimes i feel like i am this huge puzzle and i can’t seem to fit all the pieces together. and i wouldn’t even compare it to one of those 5000 pieces one with a picture of some huge funky castle on a shoreline. nah, i think i am more this kind of puzzle, and still i can’t seem to solve it…
and now for a question, are you guys intuitive? and how do you relate to your intuition?
the fleas are making a buffet out of me. the mosquitoes are snacking me like popcorn. the ants are picnicking on my computer. (perhaps because i was munching on some of these while reading my mails?)
it is the first of july and i saw my first knit-graffiti over here. perhaps the climate does not inspire that many diligent knitters? and i got a flower to put in my hair, had a half a liter of beer (which knocked me out completely) while watching b, sweet b getting drenched in ketchup. i am soon about to have four performances behind my back and next week we have a short tour to italy.
wish you a beautiful month! kiss&hugs
birthday little boy! my sisters son is turning 3 today. i wish i could bake him a cake and dance some disco dance in the basement with him. ♥♥♥
p.s i love his smile!
this morning i discovered that i currently live less than five minutes from the sea. five minutes! i practically live on the beach! where have i been the past month? absentminded&preoccupied? forget that is is temporary and half my home is somewhere else- it is a DREAM COME TRUE!
walking back from the beach i met a bus driver who was chilling out in the trunk of the bus while waiting for his passengers to return and he told me ‘this is life’ and i thought to myself that these are exactly the words i needed to hear.
and yesterday a man working in a kiosk gave me the equivalent of 2 euros since i didn’t have any small change for the laundromat. i thought that was so special, his trust and the generous gesture to a stranger.
3xeveryday magic.
tonight my bed was a battle field. between me and the mosquitoes, me and the nightmares, me and the early-bird neighbors slamming doors and running the stairs. i am not sure who was the winner. but today is a new day and here is a new favorite song.
my heart beats faster when looking at these pictures!
love to all of you. embrace life.
despite plucking seven kinds of flowers and doing a little ceremony on my own before going to sleep i couldn’t recall any of my dreams. but i enjoyed the focus and love which was put into it.
and finally i regained some focus in general. enough to stitch little toys filled with lavender and flax seeds. the first project in a long time which i could start and finish without letting myself get distracted by other things. a few hours of active meditation.
(but i think i will just skip it all together)
happy midsummer to all of you! i will pluck seven kind of flowers and dream important dreams.
thursday a week ago i was still in sweden. and today i probably would have drifted away into space if there wasn’t any gravitation to keep me down. i can’t seem to focus on anything and i keep jumping between different thoughts and different actions, without ever finishing the one before. i am a little bit tired of my own company, someone would like to swap?
in between i read a little bit on this very inspiring blog in hope to find some zen somewhere.
