Rivers of Babylon, birthdays and time away

I have not posted anything for a while. I have felt a bit down and overwhelmed over the last few weeks. There were lots of moments of tiredness, lack of hope and pushing my needs away. There was lots of resistance in me too. Then suddenly when I just gave up and let things go, everything has started to change. Now I feel that this time of feeling hopeless was needed, that moments like I have experienced recently are just a part of life and they always come and go. The whole point is just to accept those circumstances and give them space and time to let them go away.
 I realized that when we let go, we start to trust in a process of life again, we also open our hearts for new seen and unseen opportunities, inspirations and miracles to happen.
Scott and I have just come back from our little trip to London. We were visiting our friend Weronika (who is a fantastic inspiration for yoga- please check her facebook page here ) there and also were celebrating our birthdays because they are only a few days apart.
These are photographs taken in London. They present London seen and captured in my eyes as the images of little delights, memories and happiness.It was good to be away, catch up with Weronika and experience completely different surroundings. But it is good to be back too and enjoy time at home, appreciate Edinburgh again and listen to beautifully singing birds in the garden. Spring has finally arrived!
Happy spring! Love and blessing to you all!

  2. Marvelous textures apparent in your photos. Can't wait to see how they show up in your work later. Yes, always process, sometimes that down time I find for me is most productive in opening up new ways of looking. xox

  3. Hi, Aga!

    Happy birthday!! I hope yours (and Scott's too!) was wonderful. Looks like your trip to London was lovely.

    I think it's perfectly natural to have these ebbs and flows in energy and inspiration. I know it happens to me all the time. Sometimes our subconscious or our bodies or spirits or combination of all our parts are sending us the message to slow down or to take a break or a rest so we can return to creating refreshed and renewed. I'm glad you're feeling better again!

    Hope the coming week is filled with wonderful things!

    Big hugs!

  11. I find a road trip even a small one always makes me feel better and clears my mind. Brings to mind "All things must pass" by George Harrison, "Its not always going to be this grey" and I do believe his words.
    Love your London pictures.Take care Aga.
