Lately, I have been feeling that the existence
of our country home has
turned into something of a tease. Only twenty minutes
away, yet we
rush in and out of it as if in a game of chase with
time,
happiness, serenity.
We didn’t always use to lead a hectic life that forces us
to
continuously restrict leisure time.
My verdict: make the most of short visits and
feel okay with this.
When stepping into the country yard there is always a
slice of
time, as thin as it may be, to squeeze for a little creative bliss.
Penetrating
into the peacefulness of an ever-changing and
ever-evolving natural wonderland,
you have nothing
but to turn yourself off and surrender to the intimacy
of your
garden.Though it may seem simple, all it takes is
a
vissinatha (homemade cherry juice), a piece of lemon cake
and a ball of yarn. As my Belgian friend Brigitte has taught me,
I
strive to be inspired by the garden blooms and transport
the colour
combinations I find around me to my crochet project.
Perhaps you must forget yourself in such kind of process
in order to find yourself and feel content.
Wishing you to enjoy many summer moments in a
forgetful bliss.
Happy Summer everyone!
