Keep blossoming Ingrid, you are so deserving of the Spring that you have sprung. My yoga teacher said the most beautiful thing - he said "the seeds of courage can only grow in darkness" and you have become even more beautiful, powerful and infinitely wise through this Winter xx

This is so gorgeous Ingrid. It has felt a really significant transition this Spring with nature sending us humans a very powerful message that in some ways reminds me of the first lockdown. The world is so far from that depth of stillness it’s like the pendulum has swung to the opposite extreme but with even greater human created intensity yet nature is again sending us a message of beauty, regeneration and life

“Nature is again sending us a message of beauty, regeneration and life” - oh Jaimie this is absolutely gorgeous. Isn’t nature always doing that, nudging us to notice the beautiful shifts and cycles we’re all a part of. Thank you so much for your lovely comment, it means so much!

I was nodding emphatically at so many parts of this beautiful post Ingrid - like you, I’m finding this spring to be a true Spring after a long Wintering season that’s been years rather than months 🤍. I love so many images in this piece too - particularly the crocuses as a farewell to winter and the seabed of fallen blossoms.

Thanks so much Ellen! I’m not ashamed to share the the photos were the inspiration for the piece, I wanted an excuse to share them 😂 but then the writing took over, as it does. I’m so glad to hear you’re finding yourself in a long-awaited spring, it’s so deserved! ❤️
