I love being outside when it’s warm, feeling the sun or breeze on my face, smelling the flowers or the ocean depending on where I happen to be. However, in the winter time, I am exactly the opposite, I hate being outside. I don’t care for the cold or snow and choose to spend my time snuggled up indoors, preferably in my pyjamas with a glass of wine cup of hot tea.
Anyway, it was recently being outside in the cold and snow which inspired the above artwork ‘Spirit of the Trees’ and below ‘Heart of Nature’. I was taking Lucy, my Saint Bernard, outside for her evening constitution and the wind was so biting I ducked under the branches of a big old tree for shelter. I leaned against its trunk while she was sniffing around looking for heaven knows what; and in that moment I was reminded of how much I missed being immersed in and connected to nature. As cold as I was, it felt really good.
So what’s on the horizon for me in the future? Just that, to visit that big tree, Lucy in tow of course, whenever I feel the need to connect to Mother Earth. I won’t be staying there long, because I still hate the cold, but it doesn’t take more than a few minutes to feel grounded and to appreciate being alive. Even though I now have a solution to feed my nature fix during the long cold winter, I’m still thinking….roll on Spring :).
