You Never Know

I place my hands upon the earth,
Moving my fingers along her lines,
Sensing all the life bellow,
Admiring its delicate flow,
The unique diverse creatures,
That come and go.
A spider, a beetle, an ant, one shape here, another there…
Green and blue, purple and red…
A multitude of color.
You never know what you are going to see here among nature.
It is unpredictable…
New…
Who knows what leaves may come your way?
What plant will grant you with its presence?
What it will teach you…
You never know what gift lies ahead.
I long to hold each leaf in my hand,
Each plant and discover what it feels like,
Soft ? Crackly? Spiky?
You never know…
Are there any flowers?
What untold stories each tree may whisper,
What its bark may feel like,
Whether it has a particular smell.
I look forward to walking around its unique trunk,
Looking up at its branches,
What will I see?
What patterns, shapes will it gift us?
I look at the branches and discover various forms of animals and other creatures.
I wonder what else I will see?
It is never ending, full of wonder.
You never know…
A constant flow…
A wonderland…
A magical land.
Perhaps I will see a turtle strolling along,
Or an eagle soaring above hunting,
An owl perfectly camouflaged among the trees,
I have to learn to be quite aware and observant if I want to see it,
Otherwise I will just stroll by…
Unaware of the rich culture that stands everywhere before me,
Unnoticed with my mind in only mine,
Ignoring that there is another,
Much more diverse and alive than ever,
With its own way of life,
Its own ecosystem, beliefs,
Some with two legs, some with four, another with eight, or just one.
Hands, paws, beak, leaves or trunk.
Living within their world…
In coexistence, in harmony.
Different yet in cooperation,
In respect of each other’s own unique culture, personality, and individuality.
You never know what you might see….
As you dive deep under the ocean’s womb,
It could be a rainbow of reefs, a seahorse, a splendid octopus, or simply colorful pebbles,
The salty healing water against your skin…
Flying not above but bellow,
Traveling into the calmness of your dreams…
You never know what you might see…experience…feel…
Here among nature…
You never know…
As you take a walk through a park,
Into the wilderness,
As you swim along a river,
Or climb a mountain…
You never know…
What numerous and endless gifts you are about to receive…
As you open your eyes and notice…
The details of the massive world and culture that exists right before you…
Within every step there is a new wonder there for you to experience…
Every step reveals another gift…
You never know…
What you might see, perceive, hear, sense, or experience among nature…
You never know…

Your Own Way

“ I wish, as well as everybody else, to be perfectly happy; but like everybody else, it must be in my own way.”
– Jane Austen



   A little food for thought. I love spending time alone…I choose to spend 95% of my time alone…I fully enjoy it. I can love you to death yet I have NO problem, or need with seeing you once a year, or talking to you once a year.  My feelings or love for you don’t change they aren’t any less than if I saw you every day.  You can be my favorite person on the planet, and I see you only every two years. It is perfectly fine to me. It makes no difference to me. Yet this is not considered the norm correct?

Most people love being around others all the time. Going to social events, talking to people in person, or on phone, it’s a very different thing yet not everyone is like that. I am most definitely not like that. It has nothing to do with whether I like people or not…I love them very much so!  I enjoy spending time with people but on occasions and in small intimate groups. I love one on one. I just don’t feed off people (I mean that in a good way) I feed off myself. I just love spending time with myself.

Why is it that we have made it in the world that it is considered ok and normal for people to be around others all the time, otherwise not? I never got this. How come that is ok and choosing not to is considered “wrong?” It is simply a point of view, it really is, but yet it has become a general majority part of everyday living for everyone.

There is nothing wrong with being surrounded by people all the time, that’s great! But how about those of us who flourish on being otherwise? Both are beautiful! Both are correct.
I find it fascinating how someone just created this idea that we do these specific things and in groups, we go to parties, we have dinners etc. and we have made it into something “normal” that this is the way. Yet it is simply something we created, just one idea.  People choose it wonderful,  but what if that is not your choice? What if you desire and feel otherwise?

Do we need to be in the company of another in order to go out and do something? Do we deny ourselves the pleasure because we are “suppose” to do things in a group setting? If we want to go see a movie and have no other to accompany us why not do it anyway? Would you like take a walk in the park, go for a hike, climb a tree, experience a sunset, drink a glass of wine? Do it! J We do not have to rely on anyone to do what is fun for us.  It is our choice not anyone else’s.
It is just one of those things on the planet that always seemed odd to me, and I always asked why? A separation, making this good that bad…when it is simply different like everything in the world. For me it was always the opposite I always observed people thinking how strange it is that people are always wanting to be in groups. That mentality of the more the merrier. I find this very interesting 

I have the funnest time with myself I really do. I am my best company. I am content. I could never get enough. I enjoy creating at every single moment of the day. Writing, taking photographs, dancing, or whatever that may be. I never get enough. If I said otherwise I would be lying…maybe people might think that’s odd but it is true for me….


“Every time we stomp down our introverted nature, we crush part of our soul in the process.”

Introverting With The Sun

16/12/2016

    I don’t normally take selfies, it’s been a rare occasion well other than taking photos of me while dancing.  Today I woke up with a photo taking desire. My musing with photos switches on and off…it comes and goes. Sometimes I feel majorly inspired other times no desire. It is kind of like drifting into a euphoric internal space. Sometimes its writing poems, others my stories, others drawing my illustrations, other times its photography, another it will be dancing…all on and off, feel beyond ecstatic…

In my solitude floating within my internal space is my favorite place to be…

Today the photography switch was turned on…yet staying home nothing had inspired me to take any photos…as the sun was coming in through the window…I enjoyed its feeling on my face and body…I have mentioned it before I am like a reptile that feeds and dwells from the sun…the felling of it on my face sends me off travelling even deeper into myself and being…its like floating…I enjoyed a long period of drinking in the sun’s messages and delights, and placed my camera to take photos at the same time.

So my photography took a very spontaneous different route today. I hope they captured the joy and fun I was having bathing in the glorious sun and its comfort, and hope you enjoyed it too.  :-)

Wings of Dance

Every part of my body is becoming the sum of an orchestra,
All in harmony,
Each muscle,
Nerve,
Joint,
Piece…
Speak to each other.
They move in symphony.
I glide…
Slide on the floor…
Hands up…
Down…
Flying…
My body no longer is in the physical,
It is travelling the ethereal realm,
Floating…
What resides in the ethereal realm?
Ha! Magic! Joy! Flight!
Wings!
Oh yes, wings is the best word to describe,
I know what it feels like to be a butterfly, an owl, or humming bird…
To be their wings.
My body needs no instructions, or direction,
It knows on its own…
Doing what brings her pleasure,
The more I surrender…
The larger my wings are becoming,
I no longer whisper to my body,
It whispers to me!
Words from the heavens…
To every part of my being,
I surrender to the wings….

Magical Snow....

   Mmmmm….it’s snowing and how beautiful it is!!! Such a beautiful gift to wake up to snow outside and everything is covered with snow!!!

"The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event. You go to bed in one kind of a world and wake up in another quite different, an if this is not enchantment, where is it to be found? 
-J.B. Priestley
 
  I haven’t had that much experience with snow in my life. ..yet I find it is sooo special… all the white magic falling from the sky!!! Its so enchanting….simply magical..
It doesn’t usually snow here in Vancouver BC I was told, so I feel very grateful to be able to experience this. It reminds me of my adventure up in the Austrian Alps in the snow. I had sooo much fun!!!!!

"There is nothing in the world more beautiful than the forest clothed to its very hollows in snow. It is the still ecstacy of nature, wherein every spray, every blade of grass, every spire of reed, every intricacy of twig, is clad with radiance."
-William Sharp

 I am just sitting and watching the snow fall from the window….words cannot describe the beauty…

Enjoy your day wherever you are :-)

     My name is Gaia (Γαία) and I was born on the beautiful lush island of Kos, along the Aegean sea of Greece, where Hippocrates, the "father of medicine" was born. I am a writer (favorite being children's stories and fairy tales), artist, dancer, modern day Greek Mythologist, nature dweller, photographer, traveler, dreamer, and creator.  I love creativity...I love all nature, especially trees.

    One of my greatest joys is connecting people with nature in which I have spent most of my life in solitude contemplating and enjoying its wisdom, and empowering people to be their authentic selves, reconnecting them to their true essence and calling in life. 


    At the moment I am following my passion writing my fairy tale books.



    "Lighthouses don't go running all over an island looking for boats to save; they just stand there shining."
