“You haven’t lost yourself my love. It’s about knowing what to look for in the mirror you see. You won’t find the old you in there because you’ve changed, you’ve evolved, of course you have. It’s about finding the beauty in the new instead of searching for the old. You haven’t lost her, you’ve grown, as you were supposed to. And you’ve done that beautifully, breaks and all. There is much new beauty you are simply not seeing. Look again, with fresh eyes, there she is.”

“If you inherently
Long for something,
Become it first.
If you want gardens,
Become the gardener.
If you want love,
Embody love.
If you want mental stimulation,
Change the conversation.
If you want peace,
Exude calmness.
If you want to fill your
World with artists,
Begin to paint.
If you want to be valued,
Respect your own time.
If you want to live ecstatically,
Find the ecstasy within yourself.
This is how to draw it in
Day by day, inch by inch.”

“Let go of the ways
You thought life would unfold;
The holding of plans or dreams
Or expectations –
Let it all go.
Save your strength
To swim with the tide.
.
The choice to fight
What is here before you now
Will only result in struggle, fear,
And desperate attempts to flee
From the very energy
You long for.
.
Let go. Let it all go
And flow with the grace
That washes through your days
Whether you receive it gently
Or with all your quills raised
To defend against invaders.
.
Take this on faith:
The mind may never find
The explanations that it seeks,
But you will move forward
Nonetheless.
.
Let go, and the wave’s crest
Will carry you to unknown shores,
Beyond your wildest dreams
Or destinations.
Let it all go
And find a place
Of rest and peace
And certain transformation.”

“Anyone who travels knows that you’re not really doing so in order to move around - you’re travelling in order to be moved. And really what you’re seeing is not just the Grand Canyon or the Great Wall but some moods or imitations or places inside yourself that you never ordinarily see when you’re sleepwalking through your daily life.”

“I believe that half the trouble in the world comes from people asking ‘What have I achieved?’ rather than ‘What have I enjoyed?’”

With the arrival of Easter this week, I am off to enjoy some time in beautiful Devon. Therefore there will be no post next Monday but on the one after that.
Blessings to you all for Holy Week and wishing you a wonderful celebration.

“What I want
Is music.
Greenery. Freedom.
Soft fabrics,
Soft weather,
Soft soil.
The immense grit
Of wolves.
The wild grace
Of horses.
Dreams that listen.
Waters that soothe.
Love that’s sure.
Limitlessness that grows.
Hope that remains.“

“I watched the sun
Moving round the kitchen,
An early spring sun that
Strengthened and weakened,
Coming and going like an old mind.
I watched like one
Bedridden for a long time
On their first journey
Back into the world
Who finds it enough
To be going on with:
.
The way the sunlight brought
Each possession in turn
To its attention and
Made of it a small still life:
The iron frying pan
Gleaming on its hook
Like an ancient find,
The powdery green cheek
Of a bruised clementine.
.
Though more beautiful still
Was how the light moved on,
Letting go each chair and
Coffee cup without regret
The way my grandmother,
In her final year, received me:
Neither surprised by my presence,
Nor distressed by my leaving,
Content, though, while I was there.”

“I like living.
I have sometimes been
Wildly, despairingly,
Acutely miserable,
Racked with sorrow,
But through it all
I still know
Quite certainly
That just to be alive
Is a grand thing.”

“We need women who are
So strong they can be gentle,
So educated they can be humble,
So fierce they can be compassionate
So passionate they can be rational,
So disciplined they can be free.”

Below are Chervinska’s words from that time. With the current invasion of Ukraine, they take on a deep poignancy.
.
“The main idea of the collection is to convey a feeling of peace, comfort and tranquility. I study modern utopian societies that operate outside the laws of globalization, war, and technological progress. Having created their solitary world, they create the illusion of the possibility of absolute peace, absolute democracy and equality. The use of traditional folk techniques and finishes allows you to feel a sense of belonging to something eternal and inviolable. I wanted to create clothes in which a person will feel protected from the destructive influence of the modern world.”
.
.
With International Women’s Day on the 8th of March, I wish to dedicate this post to all the women in Ukraine whose plight unites us in our prayers for the return of their peace.

“If I find myself desires
Which nothing in
This world can satisfy,
The only logical
Explanation is
That I was made
For another world.”

“It takes time to live.
Like any work of art,
Life needs to be thought
About.”
