The harvest season or ‘Lunasa’’ has began, and it has me in a reflective mode.
The poet David Whyte talks about harvests which we get periodically throughout our lives, but often miss - and like an overripe apple we rot on a tree. Yet a particular harvest often only comes once in a lifetime.
In a world of so much information and consumption of any kind, do we take the time to reflect on what it is that we have been cultivating and what needs to be gathered at a particular moment? Or do we keep consuming more and more…
At the moment I notice this tendency in myself in form of taking endless amounts of photos and scrolling on FB groups for more and more beautiful images for painting ideas.. or watching tutorials.. I probably have more ideas than I will ever have the time to paint 🙈
I could just sit and paint instead!!
Or I see it in the yoga community, where people go to endless classes, come on many workshops & retreats, practice online classes..
but do we take the time to go home, find a quiet place, roll out the mat and just practice? Listening to our own guidance. Becoming our own teacher.. This is where the fun begins!
May you recognize what has ripened in you and needs to be gathered at this particular moment.
Lunasa blessings
😊🙏🏼💜🍎

Juice fast Day 20 - update
As much as I would love to tell you that its all been plain sailing.. well it wasn’t.
Juggling life and juicing is tricky. Slow juicer is exactly what it says …. SLOW!
So it is essential to make calm space in your life for it.. and I couldn’t really do that this time..
Then there was the cold… the hot water bottle just had to come out of the closet again for a few nights 🙈
And then…. Toothache. Dentist. (Issue exaggerated by detoxing)..
But I am still going.. until tomorrow.
And you might be wondering why on earth would I put myself through this?!
Well, there is no better feeling than getting that ‘junk out of the trunk’
Also once I start weaning myself back to food, introducing one food at a time, it is a great oportunity to see what foods do not agree with me..
So here.. if you are still tempted to try after reading this, ill do a group one in September. I’ll keep you posted.
😁🙏🏼💜

Between retreats and in the evenings, I finally finished Tom. He visited us with a lovely American group for a week-long retreat and we all had some good times. He had this interesting inteligent face, tweed hat and he bought himself a woollen Irish scarf and a sweater.. 😊
I just had to paint him!
It is in oil on canvas
I am calling it
‘Goodbye Ireland .. for now’
