The sacred in my life


Nourish my Soul

Words... a shower of words,
 through my brain and out again
 and the magic happened...
words  floating around me
pen in my hand,
pen on paper:
words that came from beyond the rainbow,
 meanings that came from the centre of the Universe
and thoughts that came from other from other realms....
and questions....


What is Sacred Space?
What is Home-making?
What is Beauty, Warmth,
Nourishment?

Dreams of deep sleep
While deeply drinking in
The Soul of Things
The Soul,
A breath of Living Spirit
Existing for the purpose
Of recognizing The Eternal

Nourishing my soul
needing Truth, Goodness and Love

Beauty I create
in Life
I flow,
I grow

I want to create, love, nourish, grow, change...


Home
is what I  know,
what I am,
what I make,
what I have.

Home is my  Soul




I Create my environment
I am an Artist
I am
me



Time
More time
Respect
What is Mine
Breath in the Sun
Being at One
With the Divine

Space
Sacred Space
All around Me
And within Me
I flow
I flow
I create
Order
Move
Very
Slow

Rhythm
The Pulse of Life
Living
in Time
and Space


Warmth and Beauty


Home
is what we know,
what we are,
what we make,
what we have.

Home is

our Soul
I think I like my ability to be at home in different places which are not home, so to speak, but could be a regular hang out, the local library or cafe, for example...
I like my house, but also like to feel cosy and 'at home' in my favourite local places such as Hand Made Food, Blackheath Village- it is only an example, I am not that regular there, so it feels like a treat when I take my daughter there for a meal!She likes to take her opportunity catch up with homework wherever we go! 


At home, things are familiar and it has always been the place to be, but, on the other hand I do like to go out and about and be inspired by other places.

I like to bring nature in from outside so my shelves and nature table have always the seasonal flowers to set the mood and reflect what we have around us...







Home Sweet Home

Home that nourishes
home that makes us feel safe
home that is in my memories

Equally, our home could be the outdoors, mother nature is everywhere and we embrace in the home and in the gardens/parks...open spaces and special spots...it could be Greenwich Park, Manor House gardens or Oxleas Woods...



Check out this lovely blog, my latest discovery,
such amazing photography and words spoken from the heart :


Sacred Space


Moments
Precious moments
Little drops
Suspended in Time and Space

Time can be still
When imprinted
In my memory
For me to find
Again and again
I hold the moments
I create the moment
I create Time





Nourishment
Truth
Goodness
Love



Sense of Life
Sense of Movement
Balance
Warmth
Word
Thought
Ego

These are our Seven Senses
We need to nourish
Home...
What is Home?
I am at home in this place
My place of Birth
Yet, never actually lived there
Only visited
Yet
I am perfectly at home
in Bergamo



Home is what I create and what I bring with me
My touch
What I know
How I am
I can create home anywhere I like!
At Church of Ascension I set up for the Parent and Child group Session
The first thing is to make children and parents feel at home

A homely atmosphere is more than just pink cloths
Is a place where one feels nourished
It's a place of beauty


each one of us is touched
a sensorial journey



Beauty
Art
Colour
Environment
Joy
Love
Respect
Wonder
Life
Movement
Flow
Space
Sound
Scent
Feeling



Moments
Precious moments
Little drops
Suspended in Time and Space

Time can be still
When imprinted
In my memory
For me to find
Again and again
I hold the moments
I create the moment
I create Time

Create time for making things just for the sake of making them!
Hand work for decoration is part of my life
I don't have to make things only because they are useful!

Element of surprise is vital in everyday life
celebration mark the annual rhythms
Seasons are marked with what we bring inside our homes on our nature tables and colours displayed in the house
The weather and nature outside and our moods...
The mood we bring home and create with colours...this is my bedroom...I like water/sea colours...


Now Spring colours come inside the house too...


A wall covered in wool in a tapestry shop in Rome, near Piazza navona...amazing shower of colours



Images that stay in our memory...but what about the mood and the smell of that shop?



CLARITY
Seeing
What I cannot see
Yet
Having a feeling
Of the moment

Pausing

Reflecting
Like colours, like light
On water
Fluid Thoughts
Where Time
is a Space
With the Whole
Contained
Inside and Out

Comes the picture
As in a dream
Where Reality
Is Clarity

Clarity
Clear Thinking
Light on Shadow
