Nature continuously renews itself year after year.
Today several media reports have come to my attention and I find them worrying. And although I wonder how truthful these messages are nowadays, I still get the feeling that if only a fraction of them is true, I still find them worrying. I try to shake off this feeling while teaching my son at home and I manage reasonably well. With my full attention I guide him through his lessons and we have fun with some word jokes and various exercises that are on his plate today.
But a certain feeling continues to gnaw. Until today I managed to keep that worrying voice out of my system and out of our home. Why does it make itself heard now… Does it have to do with the fact that the messages have touched a sensitive chord in myself? And the answer is yes. That’s exactly it. I can place everything from the medical point of view. But I can’t place what’s going on from the human rights point of view… And now it is up to me to find a way to deal with it.
I thought that a good time to consult the cards and I got:

And while I was thinking about the Wheel of the Year, the seasons and the way nature recovers after disasters, like those horrible forest fires in Australia, it dawned on me.
I am now in the middle of it and I live day by day. I stick to the rules of the game (I think that sounds better than measures, for the time being) and I have my own thoughts about everything. I can’t put my finger on what information is true and what is not, so I take everything for both true and false. The truth will lie somewhere in the middle. There is also such a thing as our Dutch saying: even if the lie is very fast, the truth will overtake him in the end. And I also think of my beautiful sister-in-law’s saying:

My chain of thoughts allows me to being able to reach that desired mode to deal with it.
Where we will be with regard to before or after Corona, I have no idea. We are in the present. Nature is my coach, guide and source of inspiration. She shows me that even if an event is a very destructive one, there will always be a renewing process afterwards. And the way of dealing with it all is the following. When I find it difficult to deal with current events, I go outside and wonder how Nature around me wakes up from hibernation, how birds are busy nesting for their little ones and how the blossoms slowly give way to fresh green leaf. Nature renews an that brings me peace and through me it brings peace into the world around me.
Have a lovely evening and night,
