Nymphaea 🧚‍♀️🪷

The sound of a cork landing on a roof across street from our grand apartment.

The feeling of a dream coming true and being a special as I hoped it would be. 

Hearing the words that tell me I am leaving the right foot steps.

Sitting among the butterflies, in a garden I made for myself. 

Fighting for what I want and emerging victorious, against all odds. 

Finding light in the dark and surrounding myself with the love available to me.

Surrendering to the change in the tide and embracing the new strokes across the water. 

Returning to my familiar places and feeling a new warmth where I used to feel so cold.

Squeezing in one more adventure, deeply aware that for a reason at the time unbeknownst, it would be my last like it for many cycles. 

In the depths of the ocean and the thickness of the forest, a beauty awakes. 

Dancing and flowing in the lushness of friendship, a new form unfolds. Mother Earth gives me the kiss of life, as the metamorphosis begins.

Wandering in a group and touching the flames of connection, its clarity marking the way to a net in which to catch me.

My mind dancing with the stars and singing the colours as I touch the truth. I see a new reflection and somewhere inside, I understand.

Surrounded by family and wanting nothing more.

One last dance at midnight, but the snake already left the lotus.

Returning to the rain pouring, cooling, cleansing. As I try to hold the droplets, I gradually realise they were never meant to be held. And I let go.

The thorns climbing my legs as the petals grow thicker. 

Wading through the shallows before.

Then it is there. The most beautiful waterfall I have seen.

That of hopes and dreams, past and present, showing the endless flow of abundant love. 

My loved ones beside me, reminicing, laughing, singing. Precious moments, each as golden as its predisesor.

So many memories of a year so different from recent ones. The turning point. The preparation.
