Greetings once again,
With so much destruction and misery in the world it is really important for our wellbeing to focus and appreciate the beauty of nature. I have discussed this previously and wish to reinforce its importance.
Nature in all its forms reminds us we are part of it, not separate from it. The wonder and magic is evident if we care to look and notice.
Frontier Surfing Exhibition
An exhibition called “Frontier Surfing” is currently being held at the wonderful Fremantle Art Centre (part of Perth), Western Australia with huge blown up photographs (one by my son Jamie) of giant waves surfed by courageous and talented surfers. The power and magnificence of the water (and surfer) in motion is breathtaking. See Jamie’s famous photo with both of us (I am a very “proud” mother of course) standing in front of a small portion of it on my Facebook site.
All of those who love surfing have a spiritual connection with the water, and the challenge they face each time they ride a wave brings them into alignment with their reason for being.
Damon Hurst, the co-curator of this fabulous exhibition says “Frontier Surfing brings together a story of challenge and braveness but also taps into the humanity and spiritual connection between surfer and wave”.
Most of us do not wish to go to such extremes as big wave surfing, however, what ever way suits you to tap into the natural force field of nature will enrich, rebalance and calm your spirit.
Continuing the Decluttering Journey
As I have mentioned in an earlier newsletter I am de cluttering my home. It is a slow process!! I am attempting to do a little every day – even if it is only one drawer or shelf. Today I have placed quite a few things that have been useful in the past but no longer needed from my store room on to the road verge as we have a council pick up of “junk” this week. My store room is now easier to walk into!! It is helping me to feel lighter and clearer in my thinking. How are you going? Little by little is better than nothing at all!!!
Happy days ahead.
Many blessings,
Merriene
