RE-MEMBERING TO ONES MAGNIFICENCE

that is going to be my focus of my fall before the start of a new decade🌸

i am fully devouring a wonderful book
"conversations with god"
by

so many truths 
in this book
so much beauty
such magnificence
to 
re member
oneself
to
where we belong, 
where we came from and
 from who we came in to this world from
from the source
from god
from infinite intelligence
whatever you wanna call it
we are here to express the our magnificence 
so that god can experience life through us
we were made in the image of source whom created all things perfection
mathematically perfect
every single thing in our universe and how it works
is a study of sublime intelligence

anyways
i am so excited to dive in to all things that can make me a better human being
and too a better artist
to find the essence of how i want to express my life
(too to finish this bookπŸ’œ)

to be god's pleasure

i have decided that 
i will do one blogpost in the beginning of  the month
 instead of weekly ones
there is such excitement to better myself at all my crafts
not only photography 
but too my
painting, piano skill, the ballet practice, the poetry making
etc etc etc

&
build up my website:)

so next time we meet it will be november 5
october 
will be fully devoted to re member myself
to the family we all come from🌸

LE SPECTRE DE LA ROSE

the spirit of a rose

is a new project of mine 🌸
(the inspiration for it is old though, i found a ballet a poem and the place 
some years ago that birthed the idea for this project)

it is timely since i have a lot of roses around in my life at the moment. 
in nature it's all around gifting my eyes with its beauty. 
then there are a couple of wonderful human rose beings
jason rose whom is teaching me to play the piano😊
and
 yesterday i did my first day voluntering for loughton's council taking ladies in their later years to go shopping, here i met this lovely lady liliane rose all of 92 years old whom has lived in loughton and the same house for about 70 years, is that not impressive? oh my word did i fall in love with her. so gentle so quirky such an inspiration for holding up grace. 
how she warmed my heart.

the beauty of the rose

a location
pergola hill & garden

maybe an outfit
i bought this princesse dress about a year ago, and it's when i captured this mirror selfie
i think it would be lovely as a ballerina outfit capturing the spirit of a rose a the pergola hill & garden

the magic of the red shoes

nature roses blooming  decaying in epping



a poem

open your eyelids now closed
that brush on a maidens dream;
i am the ghost of a rose
that you wore at the ball last night.
you plucked me still silvered with pearls
sprinkled like tears from the hose,
and throughout the glittering scene
paraded all night was i seen.

o you who caused my death
unable to chase it away
throughout the night, my ghost of a rose
will come to dance by your bed.
but have no fear, i shall claim
no mass nor de profundis;
this faint perfume is my soul
and from parardise do i come.

my destiny may serve for envy;
for no better death could one have
than thus to have given ones life.
for, i have your breast as my tomb
and there one the headstone where i respose
a poet has left me a kiss
and written: "here lies a rose
of which, kings are inclined to be jealous".

- le spectre de la rose
thΓ©ophile gautier
the ghost of a rose
as
translated by david paley

the ballet inspired by the poem aboveπŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ

from the book

found this image of anna pavlova on pinterest
 she is always taking part as an inspiration for my workπŸ’œ

my work in the swedish church in london and its magazine:)
the summer of 2019 issue
this magazine = such a treasure

in my little very personal text i refer to a poem by karin boye
ΓΆnskan
i thought this image worked perfect with how i read and
 take in this poem. 
my grandma's understanding and
 sense of belonging to it
i am sure was very different, 
for her she felt comfort and community with dear miss boye

here is a wonderful reading of her own poem



a couple of outfits from this past week
wearing the same skirt from ann.tique
here with a rebecca taylor silk blouse

and here with a very old sunshine top from h&m

what can i say? how i adore thee let me count the waysπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

dears i'll leave you with this

when it's over, i want to say: 
all my life
i was married to amazement.
i was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.

i am playing with various tones/ shades/ colors on some of my most recent self-portraits
a nature spirit bewitched by the beauty of the planet

i found this lovely lavender park outside of where my now art classes with jason is taking place. it is such a wonderful place, valentines mansion. it is filled with the buzzing of bees. they could care less of my sweetnessπŸ˜‚there was enough candy for them i guessπŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•
the dress and "flowers" are from a place i volunteer at, havens house...a charity perfection filled with a carol & a maggie kindness (the epping kind).
