Speaking of land...Thanks, Chloe :-) Ah the seasons! Speaking of land, moving south removed me from the intensity of the changing northern seasons which I miss quite a bit. But while here in Florida I have come to appreciate the more subtle signals that seasons are transitioning (some leaves do change, the acorns fall, the cypress trees lose their needles, certain pink seed pods emerge, the air dries). In those ways I open myself to connect with the land where I happen to be. And there is always beauty there! I will post more on this soon! <3Olivia Petershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13787218597949074958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-695429841529630819.post-31862180738244509392015-11-04T17:45:40.836-05:002015-11-04T17:45:40.836-05:00The other day on my hike I came across some chalk ...The other day on my hike I came across some chalk art by the neighborhood kids and the image that captured my imagination most was the 'home' drawing at the end of a hopscotch grid. I thought of the little hands spelling out the huge, lopsided word and then containing it within the larger structure of the grid...wondered how that little body felt as it spelled out, in all innocence, such an ongoing and universal theme...This memory inspires the sense that your deep questions are the kind that are meant to be lived out. A wonderful post, Olivia.<br />Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13895509286985960682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-695429841529630819.post-57244367728073909972015-11-04T15:20:48.799-05:002015-11-04T15:20:48.799-05:00You raise some fabulous questions there, Olivia! ...You raise some fabulous questions there, Olivia! I can see the idea of a migrant legacy having many positives. And there has been migration throughout the ages, there's plenty of evidence of that. Yet, there are also plenty of writings about the connection to the land - just think of the Fisher King! I've been a bit of a world traveller, and my mum lives in a different country to where she was born. What I do, though, is try to connect to where I am while I'm there - by walking the streets and the parks, getting to know the trees and the seasons. I may not be here forever, but while I am I make it my own :)<br /><br />Will look forward to reading what answers you come up with for yourself and your family...Inner Whispershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04577110987784585986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-695429841529630819.post-54417253428334566572015-11-03T12:13:01.705-05:002015-11-03T12:13:01.705-05:00Wise words, thank you, Ellen :-) Wise words, thank you, Ellen :-) Olivia Petershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13787218597949074958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-695429841529630819.post-63190182453954161232015-11-03T10:42:22.245-05:002015-11-03T10:42:22.245-05:00So many questions and no clip and clear answers! ...So many questions and no clip and clear answers! It is hard to let go of the questions after you asked them and trust God you will receive the answers when the time is right. For now maybe the only thing you can do is to embrace the feeling of being home where ever you and your loved ones are Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02617686222764658629noreply@blogger.com
