Many moons ago a wise man gave me the following advice: “See, touch, taste, smell, hear and speak as much as you can. Spend time alone travelling out of the cities, research into religions, ways of life. Go with an open mind and a warm heart. Don’t cling to the past, but enjoy the present and fly towards the future.” I try to live my life like this, exploring - through travel, art, cooking and conversation - discovering beauty, stories, inspiration and friendship. I have lived, worked and travelled all over the world - from Bhutan to Brazil, Mongolia to Mozambique, Azerbaijan to Antarctica. But the country that soaked deepest into my soul is Japan, where I lived for many years. There are adventures to be had every day, and I am so happy to be able to share them here with you!
…trying to emerge from a long dark winter, seedlings wiggling up through the ground, trees preparing their new wardrobe, daffodils blooming courageously
(Is it just me or do they look like they are whispering secrets?)
Spring has returned. The Earth is like a child that knows poems. ~Rainer Maria Rilke
This feels like a good time to reflect, breathe in and look forward. A time for something new…
It's funny. Down here my thoughts are turning to hibernating for the winter. It's still a reflective time though. Funny isn't it, how Spring and Autumn are reflective times.
