We are taking a short blogging break for the holidays and will be back on Wednesday 30 December.
Wishing you a peaceful week ahead and Happy Holidays to those of you who celebrate,

create new worlds …

we marvel as the sun sets
in fading lines of surf

Cee’s Flower of the Day
I am writing while we’re in lockdown. Panic buyers empty the shops, leaving less for all of us. Still I feel calm. We’ve been able to eat the food nobody wanted. We’ve adapted recipes, combining flavours like never before. We’re making everything last, stretch our resources. And I feel calm. I have never been afraid of dying.
the crow so wise
sees the centre of the surf
in rainbows
I’ve never felt more at peace
preparing to go home

Please be assured that I am feeling well. I have always regarded this journey through life as exactly that, a journey. I also believe there will be other journeys after this. I am treasuring my experiences and sharing what I see.
Wishing you all a peaceful Wednesday,
with love from Xenia xxx
