Looks like sunshine!

Sunshine ☀️

We all see the sun every day. She has an influence on us and everything that we see and don’t see. No matter who and where we are in this world.

But do we actually see and acknowledge her enough? When we put on sunscreen? When we eat our food, that wouldn’t exist without her? When she lights up our days? Or while we think about what we can do to reduce our impact on Global Warming?

What role does the sun play in your life? And has she ever come up in the art or poetry you’ve been creating? Is now the time to pay a little homage to the sun?

These are your submissions:

Up In The Sky

up up in the sky
round cozy warm but dreadful
in summer – she rains

Meredith Bass “Sun” 2021

What the sun means to me: It is new beginnings, second chances, opportunities waiting, warmth, and changing our perspective. It lights up our world like a radiate soul. After every dark night, there’s a new day.

My name is Meredith Bass, like the fish 😉 I’ve been taking pics for as long as I could remember, but it seriously started 2014. Portraits have always been my favorite, But fun fact: my first job was a videographer position.

His stripes have been replaced by bands of fluorescent sunlight

Looks for the weeping bird under the chair, finds only roads

So looks again, inside the lion’s stomach, inside the cartwheeling jets

Amber eyes are drenched in gasoline tears, set on fire

The sun commits arson, over the rooftop pools, the steaming coffees, the kaya toasts

Cat tears off his fur with his tongue, dons a cape, then leaps

into all the liminal spaces, now blazing

Nikola Alto “Golden Hour Tea” 2021

My name is Nikola 🙂 I decided to share my favorite cup of tea at my favorite time of the day: The Golden Hour. I suffer from anxiety and this time of the day soothes me in a very incompressible way, it just does. Perhaps my body and mind decides to calm down on their own (which I really appreciate) and I start to prepare my favorite tea: Earl Grey… Too pretentious? Perhaps, but people like me (too scared of constant change) have these kind of repetitive rituals everyday.

Hope somebody can feel related to the “rituals” of anxious people. They are a little “safe spot” every day in a very changeable life :). Thank you!

Get Your Personal Wheel of Colours

The Wheel of Colours is a traditional tool that can help us to understand what we need in certain situations.

We are all made up out of the same stuff, but everything is arranged uniquely in each person – which leads to us all needing different things in different moments.

If you’d like to find out what YOU need to start a project, to work with other people, to successfully finish something, to heal, to spark your creativity or what your unique gift is that you bring to the world, then the Wheel of Colours will help you to see this and yourself in a new and very practical way.

It will also show you how you can listen to your inner truth and that of others, what your most important lesson is and also what your most difficult challenge will be, that once you overcome it will bring you to the completion of your wheel – and allow you to start again in a smoother, more enlightened and balanced way.

🌈 You have the power to create your reality.

Are you a creatrix?

Have you ever felt like you don’t quite belong? That you’re somewhat different from the rest of the people around you?

That there’s a yearning deep down, a knowing, that you are capable of more? That while you know you are talented and can achieve a lot, something is somehow still missing?

Then you are a creatrix. And it’s time to start living it.

I, too, felt this way as long as I can remember
And I didn’t know what I was missing.

I had friends, a partner, a rewarding job. I was an artist, an activist and created real change.

Yet, I also felt lonely, uncertain, sometimes hopeless and often stressed.

No matter what or how much I did, it never felt completely right or like I had arrived.

Something was always missing.
