Forests

Hello,

I dedicate this one to my heart home- forest. I swear every time I come back to Lithuania these mysterious, even a little bit spooky forests give the heart shelter to me.

There is something about the pine smell, something in long and slim trunks of these old trees. My eyes bath in the view and my heart is happy. A broken one but in transition of something.

I walked the paths I used to run when I was a child. Memories pass by, one after another. Am I turning so old or does it seem so so far away. I look at the hill that used to be so big to cycle my bike and I laugh. Everything is shrunken. The lake that I used to spend all my summer days in is a tiny pond, the bridge that I jumped off to the water once and was so proud of myself is a tiny step, the house I lived in and knew every corner have different smells now, different people. I love re-visiting the past.

And then I look at the trees and forest. Nothing changed. Is that the reason I find an inner peace? Person who thrives on movement finds an inner peace at something that is the same and always be?

I read somewhere that being in the forest is highly meditative. Beautiful plants and trees catch your attention and without trying you end up being. Here and now. And those tiny lakes and rivers in the forest- they are full of life. How can a man destroy forests? Desperation I guess, but mostly greed.

My time in Lithuania is full of questions, fears, happiness and excitement. Full life's package. Sometimes I feel like a closet full of drawers, in each keeping something in. And to make space for new bits inside I need to clean some old ones.

This September has been hard but still beautiful. I left stunning Sark and special connections and friendships, I got a qualification I wanted and unexpected health problems which made me think about certain things in life. Health is important so much but so as self-realisation, connection and happiness. I do feel very blessed with my family, with great friends and wonderful souls I met. It feels like new years eve post, ha!

In October you will find me in Greece. Give me a shout if you are around.

Much love,

Ligita
