Magical Forest

There is this forest I go to. He always greets me in the same spirit. Spirit of home, of softness, of acceptance. My loyal companion is often the dog. He too is in love with this magical forest.

We start our days early. And as we walk its green carpet, the crispy air bites my cheeks, the birds already prove it‘s time to wake up. I walk in awe, most of the times, and wonder how such wildness can provide the feeling of safety. I know every corner of it, at least, it feels like it. I am in love with softness of the ground, that dark green moss, the shelter for the smallest. I love the air, exploding my lungs with realness and health. I love those tall beauties, the queens of the forest- my pines. They stand so tall and gracefully, their gentle dance don‘t get shaken even with strong winds.

Our evening walks tend to be reflective. As the sun sets, the mystical feeling of the darkness takes place. The birds are more quiet, the whole forest gets ready for the stars show. It rains a lot these days, and clouds greets me more than sun.

I feel happy in the forest. In this particular forest. I like it when it‘s sunny, I like it when it‘s cloudy, I like when it‘s cold, I like when it‘s rainy. The forest changes his moods and I feel privileged to experience them all. And unlike human, no matter what his mood, he always gives back more. He gives you peace, he gives you acceptance, he gives you freedom, he gives you life.

These past days have been filled with the magic of the forest. I have been back in Europe for nearly 3 weeks now. The cultural and weather shock gave me strong slap after my crazy wild and mystical trip in Mexico. And like every chapter of my life it has a lot of beauty already.

I am in Lithuania, if you were wondering. Until I feel the winds to take me South. And until then, there are dogs to walk, forests to admire, friends to connect and food to cook. No pressure, no control. Complete trust in the Universe to provide what‘s needed and when needed.

With lots of love,

What to Do in Sark

Hello my dears,

My first post in May.

My life here in Sark goes on, and goes on very interesting I must say. All these views, smells and little adventures make me feel alive. I am completely used to this island rhythm. Slow walks, no street lights, no people who are rushing, no shops or any places where I felt trapped with consumers rather than people. I can breathe, my minds are clear and my heart is beating with love around.

People who say there is nothing to do in Sark, must look more around them.

Walking. Sark has an amazing coast line, there are so many hidden little paths through the fields with the stunning views.

Cycling. Friend of mine borrowed me a bike and I must say cycling here in Sark is very special because there are loads of hills and little roads with rocks which makes your cycling more like mountain biking.

Caving. Wow, I have never thought that caving can be so interesting. Sark has many caves all around the island; some that you have to swim through, some reachable only from the boats, some walkable on a low tide. I have been in 3 caves so far and wow, the fact that those caves are reachable only on a certain time of day is very exciting.

Coasteering. New sport activity, which includes cliff jumping, swimming, scrambling and caving.It is amazing, outdoor people will love it. The highest cliff we jumped from was 10 metres height!!!

Fishing. There are a lot of lobsters, crabs and fishes around the island and you can just go fishing from the harbour! I can’t wait to try!

Diving. You must have your own wetsuit though. I have heard people are going to dive here and some even catch scallops and then have delicious exotic dinners J

Kayaking. Again, Sark has amazing caves so it is not just simple kayaking in the sea but also getting into the caves.

Horse riding. Just need to meet friendly locals ;)

And there are many more little activities which occupies me in the free time. I am telling you, Sark has a lot of things to offer we just have to know how to appreciate all these surroundings.

Keep yourself active and enjoy longer days, shorter nights!

Greetings to my dear ones,

Ligita
