There Is No Day Like A Snow Day

There is a something about snowfall that turns a landscape into such a magical wonderland. Who doesn’t love to wake up to the silence of snow?

Manifesto For Life

Image
  I want to keep moving intuitively and freely without feeling self-conscious.  I want to live a long and healthy life, enriched by love and lots of children.  I want to be successful in my endeavours, valued for my kindness, intellect, work ethic and bravery.  I never want to be valued for my looks they are completely transient.  I want to love and embrace every chapter of my life and grow older without regret or dread.  I never want to fear death.  I want to touch, explore, and follow my instincts.  I want to ask so many questions and remember the answers.  I look forward to changing and evolving.

Stay excited, I'm excited for you, Stay encouraged.

Putting our hands around nature. This carries  notions of taking responsibility, expressing care and compassion, and making things happen to achieve results; communicating both an individual responsibility to be careful with nature and the shared effort of joining hands to achieve societal, behavioural and cultural change, in the interest of our co-dependency on nature. The idea of our hands directly applied to nature, even greeting it, ‘shaking its hand’, gives a sense of connectedness, of embodied care as opposed to the bureaucratic or professionalised meanings often associated with stewardship. Putting our hands around something. It is what you do for a heartbroken friend or a neglected houseplant and it is what we ought to do with the environment more broadly. The metaphor of the hand even provides a helpful way of thinking of the different steps involved; in the friendly greeting and familiarisation, the hearty embrace and commitment, the concrete action and manual labour and ...
