The more I read and look at other blogs about celebrating time, the more calm and relaxed I become. This Christmas and winter is a bit different compared to previous years. I do not rush. Celebration time comes slowly, with its own pace. I am taking my time to feel, smell, touch and enjoy. It is still a time between the beautiful and endless autumn in my heart and the beginning of winter. This is what my last painting is about. It is moment between. A moment between autumn and winter. That invisible gap where I am just in the middle with myself. I am ready to start, to begin to celebrate with joy and peace in my heart.
I am so touched by how many positive thoughts and messages people put in to words or images in their blogs every day. I am so touched by how much we try to heal the world with our love. Every day. Thank you.

What a lovely blog you have!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about taking things slowly. Going out to the stores and seeing the gaudy decorations and loud music is so depressing, but we're in control of what sort of celebration we want to have and how we want to go about getting to it.
That portrait is wonderful!
Happy PPF!

ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to this years festive season; hosting my first Midwinter feast, and Christmas with my girls, yet there's no panic, just the feeling that all is going ok.
