~~Wednesday wisdom~~🌞🌿From Mr. Curly to Vasco Pyjama (circumnavigator)~~
Dear Vasco,
It is the shortest day here in Curly Flat - the winter solstice. We had a very interesting time trying to measure this shortest day. How does one measure a day? Length is one matter but depth and width are just as important. For instance, a short day may be very deep or a long day may be shallow and narrow. What seems to be vital is whether or not the day is spacious; in which case the roundedness of the day is perhaps the most important factor. After all, a round day holds happiness most successfully - happiness itself being of a rounded shape, as you have observed.
The shortest day always reminds me that life is short but no sooner am I conscious of that than I am reminded that life is also very long. This is a most comforting paradox, for when I know that it is short, life seems more precious and sweet; I am overcome with a great sense of forgiveness and my sufferings seems more bearable and fleeting - in fact they almost feel like blessings. And when I know that life is long I am reassured and contented that the great wheel will surely turn and natural justice will come to pass most certainly. But once again Vasco, it is not the length of life which is important, it is the shape and the spaciousness - for therein lies the potential for a beautiful freedom. It is the roundedness of life which matters. A round life is surely a happy life - and dare I say - it is a good life.
Please consider these reflections as a small picnic of thoughts we may share together - as we have shared picnics of sandwiches and wine on the shores of Lake Lacuna in summers past. Those were happy days - and they will come again. Fare well Vasco!
With salutes and smiles,
Mr. Curly.

~~Carrot, ginger, nutmeg & calendula soup~~
🥕🥣🧡
What a delightful colour!
Orange coloured foods always seem to both uplift and ground me, and they feel so nourishing to eat.
Carrots are rich in carotene which is super important for immune system health.🥕🥣🧡
It’s a very “relaxed recipe” - eg I threw the following ingredients in a big pot!
8 carrots chopped roughly
A big piece of ginger, sliced up
Cover in water, bring to the boil and simmer until carrots are soft.
Wait until this cools, then add nutmeg to taste, and about 20 fresh calendula petals.
Whizz it all up with a blender.
Serve.
Then add calendula petals to pretty it up!
Enjoy. 🥕🥣🧡

~~Keep grounded~~🌿🌏👣
A little Saturday afternoon reminder to keep both feet on the ground, and to absorb some of nature’s energy.
This is something I often remind people of during meditation classes, and naturopathic consults.
I feel that this is even more important now, with all the crazy goings on in the world.
Nature always reminds us to be still and present.
Why not kick off your shoes now, and plant those feet in the grass / sand/ earth?!. 🌿🌏👣

The sun is shining today, so I took my mat outside to soak up some sun and breathe in the beautiful air.
So happy that I can access these wonderful sessions during lockdown (and any other time too).
Thank-you @fwfglife @adrienelouise 💙💛💚
