♥ lost and disconnected

This is becoming funny .... Not only have I had Ning access problems for the past 4 days leaving me somewhat stranded .. Now on top of it we have had a power outage for the last 15 hours .... So imagine me ...by candlelight ...tippytoe...trying to get reception on my iPhone .... Giggle ...

I feel lost,disconnected...

But somehow there is a lesson in here somewhere ... Especially with all the new years resolutions in the pipeline .... Plans are just that plans ... changeable entities with a life all of their own ...

This state of disconnection feels like a universal invitation to surrender to flow ....

♥ a christmas walk

... as evening light settles

♥ bright blessings of joy

♥ to know that love is all that is...
♥ all that pervades the essence of our being..
♥ to know that love guides and guards us...
♥to know that joy is the deepest expression of love
♥ to extend blessings of joy ...a little angel arrived to remind me ...

Wishing ALL of you a joyful Season and Wonderful Start to the New Year

♥ a winter walk

~ the cycles of life
    growth and decay,
    birth  and renewal ....

~ to walk with open eyes
    to walk and invite the moment to breathe with me
    to walk and capture what in essence cannot
    by definition
    be captured ...

Experimenting with low relief in my city and guilds art and design course.
