PICTURE OF THE WEEK - #SHOES
POST OF THE WEEK - #SPACES
Most of us live cluttered lives. We work in busy offices, walk on crowded pavements and battle daily traffic jams. We are surrounded with ‘stuff’ and encouraged to keep buying more. To compensate, we seek out open spaces, soak up green spaces and tune into sacred spaces. Carving out these special spaces in your life is vital, but it requires clear intention and a bit of discipline to make it happen. It means going for that walk in the park, spending time in the garden, visiting your preferred place of worship, or finding a peaceful spot for quiet contemplation.

POEM OF THE WEEK - SPIRITED AWAY
One fine day, I’ll let myself be / Spirited away, to a world yet unseen / In the grey, the mist of a dream / Where sprites play and nature nymphs stream / Amidst the spray of waterfalls and green / Forests, a ray of sunshine, a beam / Of light, a stray path in between.
领英推荐
One day soon, I’ll let myself go / To the moon, to the stars that glow / Like the bloom of ideas, the flow / Of a tune of memories that grow / And then swoon, like the winds blow / Across the dune and the swirling snow / Paints a plume on skies I used to know
One dark night, I’ll let myself fly / Out of sight, out of mind, with a sigh / I’ll take flight, let loose every tie / Every plight that weighs and asks why / Every fight won or lost, on a high / Of pure light, I’ll laugh and I’ll cry / With delight, I’ll be spirited away by and by.
