A weekend of feeling alive;
Working alongside local artisans, long, slow & savoured dinners, good wine, better coffee. The shock of the ocean against your skin after a brave jump, Your hair pulled back by wind, your body pulled forward by seemingly magic? (you’re horseback riding). The wide, wide, wide ocean that makes you feel so, so, so small. The feeling of being connected back to your childlike sense of awe & silliness (maybe it’s been a while but that doesn’t mean they won’t pick up the phone). Discovering that actually you are a creative person. Enjoying failing for once because you are human & that’s supposed to happen if you’re doing it right. You call it falling forward instead now. Not rushing your success, letting it go right in it’s own time, being proud and a little in love with being, making & seeing because that’s also supposed to happen when you’re doing it right. Savouring everything a little tiny bit more & learning what people mean when they say ‘it goes by fast’ and ‘if not now when?’ and then living the now part instead of the when part. Just like how you stop just knowing that life is here now but instead you start feeling it now. That’s the art of living. We learn by repetition so when we can start being a little more wide open to life we learn we can do it again and again and again. Maybe everything feels a little more vivid and raw, maybe even softer focused and a little kinder, anyway that’s exactly where we are going, wanna come?
