It has been sometime since I posted anything. My motherhooding does not allow much of computer time these days. Hope it will get better on that front, as I miss it. Sometimes.
Happy New Year!
“Inner Celebration” is what comes up when i think of this year…:-)
I was quite surprised to find out how long it has been since I have made a post in this blog. Not that I was not aware of my total neglecting, but still, time flies.
I’m a bundle with a baby these days, due in a bit over a month, and my energies had been going elsewhere. Mainly in doing nothing, which is definitely not my strong side. But mother nature does what she does, and I had to slow down whether I liked the idea or not. By now I have completely embraced it.
I try to go at least once a week to the beach around sunset. It is so relaxing, so bonding. The day I took this pic was especially rewarding. A lot of God power. I felt as if Aphrodite was smiling at me, Poseidon was caressing me and Zephyr was blessing me. Have not felt that fortunate for a while

2) almonds+lemon zest

I have not been posting much lately. So it happens. Sometimes not because nothing happens, but because too much happens, it;s hard to keep track or chat about it…
To recover from all the “happenings” we went for a full day in the Negev – the desert: Ein-Avdat, Nahal Zin, Sde boker.
Time stops. The grains of sand tell their story. The soul gets a good break from it all, and in nurtured with precious nothingness.
Enjoy! I did!

As seen in Wired-video: Daffodils Wander Lonely as a Cloud, in Flower
In February, thatgamecompany will release Flower, a “video game version of a poem” for PlayStation 3. Flower lets the player explore the dreams of city blooms trapped in urban decay, longing to caress the soft grasses of the countryside.
