Stagnancy~

Time feels motionless, issues stagnant, and goals float in my mind lacking force and vitality... My high hopes for this year, so gracefully crushed, have managed to set me back on so many different levels. I'm trying hard to see it as a challenge for growth, to embrace the pain and turn it into a higher awareness... After all, without pain how do we truly know joy and love? It's so easy for our everyday life to stand still around us, each day the same routine of work, money, stress, and problems. But how does one free a stagnant mind, enable that positive energy to flow again? For tomorrow I wish a new beginning, a chance for change, a shift in dynamics, a sudden inspiration, and a glimpse of beauty...

“Iron rusts from disuse, stagnant water loses its purity, and in cold weather becomes frozen, even so does inaction sap the vigors of the mind.”

Leonardo Da Vinci~

Ebb and flow~

Often used figuratively, this term seems fitting in the way our lives flow in and out of synchronicity. Just when one feels disconnected from the heart, something random comes along to change that chaotic thought process. A chance encounter with a stranger that sees something in your eye, an offering of kind words that heal your soul, or simply just a smile at the right time. And when you need it the most, it seems to be there before you, if you simply are able to embrace it. One must be open to these opportunities, and become part of a cosmic unconsciousness...

"When coincidences pile up in this way, one cannot help being impressed by them—for the greater the number of terms in such a series, or the more unusual its character, the more improbable it becomes..." Carl Gustav Jung ~

Paris Plage ~Quirky city beach...

Paris Plage, the "Faux" beach set up on the banks of the Seine River that winds through the French capital, opened Thursday for the fourth season. A quirky project that has since spawned copycat beaches in cities across Europe and as far away as Tokyo. The Paris Plage now counts 280 beach chairs, 480 chairs, 225 beach umbrellas, countless beach mats, cafes, ice cream stands, sandboxes, a wading pool for children, along with volleyball, samba lessons, a host of musical events and even a riverside version of outdoor films. Fantastique!!
